Just me...I have the worst ANXIETY in the WORLD...so much that the Federal Gov has declared me disabled.

I am on Ativan...and it of course works the best but Drs are very hesitant to giving it out. I am 53..and because I have discussed alcohol problems...they want to lessen the (benzo) and try other stuff like Gabapentin.

So that said...I didn't like depending on this ***** Dr. to beg him monthly for the Ativan...so I started trying to limit myself to 1 per day so I did and now i have extra which is good because my son is struggling with seizures and needs one once in a while.

Anyway...I had to tell you ALL that so you will believe me when I tell you - YES...all drugs work different for everyone...but Zoloft is meant for anxiety and panic disorders.

So I want to assume it works "similar" for everyone. This is the BEST drug to me...I noticed on Day 3 or so...that when I woke up in the morning I was less "anxious"...and wasn't smoking as many cigs...and many different "calm" feelings...there was a "calmness" about me.

Without Zoloft I couldn't have gone to 1 anxiety pill a day...

The Gabapentin I'm prescribed I only take at bedtime 400mgs...only makes me tired and makes me dream...I was taking 300 (three times a day) but they were making me fat...even thou they took away pain...not took away pain all at once...but gradually I noticed I had no pain in my usual places.
