Zoloft
ATTENTION: don't respond to this unless you have something POSITIVE to say. But anyone who is on medication..do they ever feel as though it may not work one day? Or what if I max out my dosage and I still don't feel satisfied? Or do you get scared when people say the medication they are on has made there anxiety even worse? I'm on Zoloft and It saved my life about 3 years ago. I got off of it and FREAKED OUT. I am now back on it and its working slowly. I just keep hearing so many negative things about it and I'm getting frustrated and its making me not believe in it. Can someone try to relate, give me something positive to hear? Or they feel like they are not on the right medication and they feel confused like, should I be on this one? Could there be a better medication?

RyanEK,
If the Zoloft is working for you, then don't let others influence what you are taking. Different meds work for different people. And yes, I have had the same fear of my meds not working anymore or having to take more and more and then what if I get to the max. dose and it's not working anymore?? I don't take Zoloft, I take xanax. My situation runs more on the anxiety side instead of the depression side. TRUST your doctor and if you don't feel comfortable with the one you are with, then get a second opinion. Part of how you feel about the meds is probably anxiety related as we have a tendency to question everything - at least I do.
I hope I was able to help a bit. I have known of many people who take a SSRI and they are greatly helped by it. Take care!

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
