Hi all, I am feeling less irritable today. I think the first dose of Zoloft made me feel irritable and restless. It also kept me up until 3 am. I am just sensitive I think, but I was hoping that this wouldn't have those side effects. At least it is not causing the loud thoughts and anxiety like the Lexapro did. I am trying to decide if I should keep taking it for a bit longer or call back the resident I saw. I feel like I am a high maintenance patient with all my med sensitivities and more than one diagnosis to treat. Honestly, I am a little worried they are going to get frustrated and say they have no more options for me.
I met up with my friend outside for lunch today. It was a beautiful sunny day. We found two tables where we could space out. It was nice to catch up. Not much else to report. Wishing everyone well. |

I saw the blue moon! It was fairly big and yellow around 6:30 this evening. No clouds here. Now its way up and just a regular full moon.

halloween was okay. it was quiet, (no trick or treaters), and honestly spent it like I usually do every other day, alone and eating candy.
I heard a few fireworks too and an icecream truck (that took me back to younger days) wanted to dress up, but didn't get my costume in time. blah I was going to be a zombie.. |

How long have you been on the Zoloft for? When I first started Zoloft, it made feel sooo agitated/restless/anxious for the first few weeks... like I was just crawling out of my skin. My provider told me to try to continue it and I’m glad I did, as the symptoms totally resolved after that. I’ve now been on it for over a year and it has totally helped my depression and anxiety. Often times symptoms get worse before they get better with new meds. Might be worth trying to stick it out for a while. But if the symptoms get too bad let your doc know of course. Also you might be able to change when you take it to help with the sleep issue. Sending good thoughts your way 💫

I feel better than I did yesterday. But I took my topamax this morning. It helps with my moods it’s not just an appetite suppressant. The Xanax XR is helping a lot too. But I don’t feel as frustrated as I did yesterday. Yesterday was really bad. I’m still moody today though. Just not the gut wrenching frustration that I was feeling all day yesterday.
I’m just pissed at my T and Pdoc for taking me off my meds that legit were helping me. I’m pretty worried about Election Day violence. I guess 80% of Americans are worried. I stocked up on food on Friday just in case. I’ve also heard there might be shortages because of Covid. I’m glad I have a good amount of food to last me awhile.

I feel like a high maintenance patient, too. My guess is that many people do. For me, Zoloft was an activating medication, especially in the beginning.

I am not feeling too well. I am just having a hard time with some trauma I went through with my late husband. It was triggered by looking at my son’s newborn pictures yesterday.
I’m just having trouble with it and I really feel like I can’t talk to anyone about it. I told my therapist once but then I pushed it away again but now it’s back. She told me to journal but I can’t put it into words. I feel bad because RS can tell something’s wrong but I don’t want to talk about it. I really just want to go to bed and pull the covers over my head and sleep but that’s obviously not an option. We’re supposed to go bowling today just to get out and do something since it’s raining. We also have to go grocery shopping. But I don’t think I can do all that. Tomorrow my student will be in school and I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle it. But usually being at work is a good distraction because there’s so much going on. So that’s good.

I’m just sitting in the sun, enjoying a passion fruit mango drink, listening to trains and enjoying this glorious weather. My to do list and schedule are packed but sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses. Very zen today. It will all get done.
I hope everyone enjoyed Halloween. Alas, I got out too late to fully appreciate the Blue Moon. I’ll know better for next time. Hugs to all.

Which meds did your pdoc take you off of, and why? I'm uptight about election day, too. Somewhat concerned about the possible violence, but more concerned about the outcome. I think almost every American is on edge right now.

I haven't cooked since August when i had that disaster with that bean stew. But i'm eager to save money since i've been looking into my finances. Compound interest is very exciting! Cooking is a way of saving money so i cautiously made an attempt. I laid in a whole whack of my favorite noodles (rotini) during the Spring lockdown and i haven't touched them. So i boiled up a big pot and mixed in some marble cheese i had in the fridge and my favorite frozen veggie mix with lovely edamame beans and these cute little mini corn-on-the-cobs.
I was scared to eat it but it was not bad. It just tasted like the sum of it's parts. I feel true skilled cooking is when the result tastes like more than the sum of it's parts. @Soupe du jour: am i right? But it's all my favorite things so i feel okay about it. Also, i find anything homemade gives a feeling of well-being. I've been eating a brand of frozen mac-and-cheese with 500 calories and 1170mg of sodium. My own cooking sure beats that! And it was all stuff i had in the kitchen so it was free! And it made four servings! I did all the dishes and put them away. It was hot hard work. So that was my little adventure. Hugs to all who suffer!
