I have been dealing with intense anxiety and severe depression these past few months. I was coping with no medication while I was at school by taking long walks and watching sports. Once, I got home I started on Zoloft and it made my life so much worse. I feel like I totally lost who I was while I was on the medication. I know literally feel like I'm in darkness whenever it is dark outside, it has made my life pretty bleak. After two weeks, the doctor changed me onto Effexor and I'm absolutely terrified that this will make me feel even worse. The first night on Effexor, I stayed up the entire night with heart palpitations. These past few weeks have been extremely brutal. Does anyone out there go through what I did or have any advice for me.

Best,
