Hello. I have only ever tired 2 different medications for anxiety: Zoloft and Lexapro. I am on Lexapro.

Anyways, what happened with me and Zoloft is I started to lose some cognitive thought processing thing like I knew the definition for a word, but not the word itself. It was very severe some days.

Next, I felt tired even worse than I am now (which is not a good sign). When I had 6 hours of sleep (which is common for me), it felt like I was having 3 hours of sleep. It was hard to concentrate on anything because I was so tired all the time. Even standing up for a minute made me want to pass out and sleep. On the weekends when I was able to sleep, I slept for at least 11 hours. Averagely was 12.

Also, we never got far enough to see if it helped my anxiety.

Anyways, I hope it helps you [emoji4] . I don't remember anything else that bad other than basic symptoms that the pdoc mentioned. Oh ya, I occasionally felt dizzy. If you have questions, PM me [emoji4] .
