Stress Center Peer Support

I just join the program and have not even started the first lesson yet. I had been on Zoloft for 5 years and got off last Decmenber. However, 2 months later, I had a car accident and a week later, I felt weird and anxious again. I have been hold off not to go back to the medicine like my Doctor told me. In the past 3 months, I tried all source of supplements including accupunture. I am still not able to sleep and today I started my 1st day of Zoloft again. My question is does anyone have the same problem and can this program help me not to be back on Zoloft. My main complain is the insomia, if one day I can sleep the my anxiety is a little stronger.

You need to not be beating yourself about having to take the Zoloft again! Once you begin the course and gain the skills to deal with and even overcome the anxiety, you most likely not need the medication. I know how you feel because, after years of anxiety/panic, and no longer being able to live with it, the doctor prescribed Celexa 20 mg daily. How I feared and hated having to give in to a medication to help me deal, but you know what, After starting the course I became aware of how much time I was spending beating myself up about having to take medication. At the same time the doctor gave me a prescription for Xanex to help with the anxiety. I was so scared of taking two medications. The best part of it all is that was my reason for ordering the course through Mid West, because I didn't want to depend on medication forever. After ten weeks (I think) I take only the antidepresent and come fall will be off of that as well and only because of the skills I'm learning and the confidence I'm gaining in knowing, my results will correspond to the effore and committment I put into this course. I tell you it works. With awareness came greater peace and calm and with that came my ability to sleep better. It will happed for you! Just do what you need to do to get there and don't beat yourself up! START THE COURSE.
