Hi all, I took a flow yoga class last night and I have to say in all honesty, that it was the most relaxed I had been in a month since my OCD episode started. I still only slept 5 1/2 hours last night with Seroquel (i used to sleep 8) but I am learning to function on less sleep and I certainly plan ...

Hi all, my Zoloft was just uped from 50mg to 75mg. I have been on the larger dose for 4 days now and I keep getting dizzy spells. Has anyone else experienced this before? I'm hoping they will go away once my body adjusts.

I have been listening to a lot of uplifting and serene music lately. It is important for me to put into my life just as many positive things as negative, and hopefully when the anxiety subsides, there will be more positive aspects. I have been listening to Lata Mangeshkar, Tibet Cry of the Snow Lion...

Hi everyone! I finally got some sleep. I went to see a psychiatrist yesterday who perscribed me seroquel. I slept I think about 5 or 6 hours! I had only been sleeping 2 or 3 before, so I am pretty relieved! Getting more sleep will help with my OCD too!

Thank you so much everyone. I appreciate it very much! I went to a very nice psychiatrist today who uped my Zoloft and gave me a really good sleep aid. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that I sleep tonight! I am going on 3 days now with little to no sleep. I feel like I'm on drugs or something.

also,I am going to therapy and no I don't want this to run my life but it is right now and I am just trying to cope and learn how to deal with all of this. This all started full blown, the day after Christmas. This is all new and confusing to me.

Yesterday my boss took me out to lunch and told me that I am really going downhill and that I need to get out of my head. This really upset me. She honestly had no idea how bad my ocd is right now! I have been on Zoloft for 11 days. I have never been on meds before and this is all new to me, and yes...

Today is my first day back at work in almost a week because I have not been sleeping. My OCD fear is that I will hurt myself. My sister's attempt at this is what started this all. Anyway, I am not sleeping well and last week I got so depressed that I felt like I was fed up and hopeless. In my mind i...

Hi all, today is day 10 for me on 50mg of generic Zoloft (can't afford name brand) I am having terrible insomnia! I'm pretty sure that it is the Zoloft because even when I was having full blown panic attacks before I started taking the meds, I was still getting 6 to 7 hours of sleep. I took Lunesta ...
