My counselor wanted me to see the doctor today about getting on meds again. I am anxious almost all the time and my entire life revolves around avoiding fear and panic. I haven't been on meds for almost a year, but everyone is agreeing with my counselor that I should try medication again. I've been on Lexapro, then Prozac then Wellbutrin in the past. Lexapro and Prozac didn't work, but the Wellbutrin helped a lot with depression and anxiety (depression is what they were mainly treating me for because I was suicidal). Because I'm not depressed anymore (worked through lots and lots of therapy issues) and it is just the anxiety and OCD symptoms that are going haywire the doctor prescribed me Zoloft. I'm a bit scared to go back on meds and to try a new one especially. I'm really worried that it will mess with my abilities in class (college student). I guess I agree that it would be really beneficial, but I have a lot of fears about it.

I guess my point/ question is have any of you been put on Zoloft with or without other meds, and how did it work for you... side affects...ect? And if you had tried other meds before and how did they work out...ect? Any information and/or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
