Last night, I really had a low. I was struggling and just sat for 20-25 min. rocking back and forth in the bathroom. I was bombarded with these bad thoughts about myself. I tried to stop but it kept coming. I as truly emobilized. I just started taking Zoloft 50mg. during the day, with doxepin 10 mg. at night to help me sleep. I still take a while to fall asleep and wake up at various times at night.
I just started this I guess since mid last week. I don't see the doctor again until 2 weeks from now. I also told the doctor that I was hearing voices not everyday but every so often. Speaking with my dad, he said that he had that same problem, but never took medication. I haven't heard the voices, sometimes not even clearly just whispering. It's just in my head like last night. Anyone shed light on this. When told the doctor, she just kind of looked at me maybe like I was lying. I am not making this up and for attention!!! I am a professional and would not even want to make something like this up..
Any words, please let me know. I would like to hear your thoughts,
Thanks

Give the zoloft some time and see how it works. I also sometimes hear I guess what are auditory hallucinations??? I don't know if that is what they are or not. Sometimes I will hear someone call my name and it will wake me up. Or I hear it just as I am falling asleep. Most of the time it is my Moms voice but she is no where around. For me I don't think it is psychosis or a big issue just something that happens. I wouldn't want to be put on anti psychotics just because of that.

If you doctor discounts what you have to say and experience I say find a new doctor. I know pdocs are hard to get into but the relationship with one is very important.

Hello, signets. I have been where you are at. Having been prescribed over twenty different medications for a condition now described as treatment resistant, I soon learned not to suffer in silence. I also recognize the current understanding of the efficacy of various treatment options often require some trial and error. Nonetheless, the idea is to find a way to remission of the disorder. Feeling even worse for long periods truly is counterproductive.
