Yeah, I guess I have to throw my hat into the anxiety ring, lol.

I was going to post about my frustration lately with trying to get off Zoloft, but was like 'Nawh, that's probably too much info and all the nice girls will just think the newb is crazy.'

I've been off of Zoloft for two weeks now, and just decided that I'm going back on. I had these CRAZY discontiunation symptoms---has anyone had anything like a brain shiver?! It's the worst feeling in the world...and when they finally started going away (after a week and a half) my anxiety has come back to kick my ***. For me, it feels like a very very heavy elephant is sitting on my chest. Really makes it hard to have enthusiasm about anything.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only bride whose 'imperfect!'

That is exactly why I've always been afraid to take any kind of medication!!


Explain this brain shiver please...

---

Okay, its SO hard to explain...but it's like whenever I moved my head, abrutly or not, I would feel this kinda electric charge in my head. It happens a lot when you try to get off a SSRI like Zoloft, and a lot of people explain it in different ways. It can also feel like your brain stays still a second or so after you move your head, and then like has a shock to catch up. NOT pleasant.

believe me, if you ever had an anxiety or panic attack, you would know. You heart races, you get dizzy, you sweat, you can't focus your mind. It truely is like you are dying. Thank god I haven't had a full blown one in a while but I am on a low dosage of effexor, I think it is just a placebo at this point. But my fh is so good when I feel it, he really knows how to calm me down and doesn't make me feel weak for feeling that way. It can be very embaressing around people who do not understand it

---

can u get that like once in a blue moon? lol sorry for the weird questions but i passed out once for no reason and its almost happened several other times when i was out...and thats kinda how it feels...i remember all of a sudden getting very hot and dizzy..then i start to black out...ive been able to stop it a bunch of times (if i can sit and relax for a minute i can get the feeling to pass then i just go home and feel fine) but ive also had the same feeling and have actually passed out in the middle of a place before (lol im trying to self diagnosis myself haha)

---

Sounds like panic disorder, but its dangerous to self diagnose Although I steal antibiotics from my office all the time and give them to ppl w/colds so who the hell am i to talk??

---

LOL- You sound like my mom- she is always getting anti-biotics from her boss to give to us. We get better though so it works I quess??


Another anxiety attach symptom is when you are out and you get the feeling that YOU HAVE TO LEAVE the place along with dizziness. Whooee- bad feeling.

FH's cousin who is my matron of honor is such a crazy biotch.. i bet you would have a blast with us.. sometimes we'll be driving and out of nowhere she will just start pointing at a car while they are at a red light.. she makes it seem like the gas tank is open or something.. then you'll see the light turn green and the person pulls over to check the car... horrible i know.. but we have so much fun doing retarted things...lmaoo. Maybe it's a suffolk county thing..cause she's way out there...

I'm going to add another psychological f*cker into the mix. Has anyone else lost weight and still literally looks in the mirror and sees their old self? Its so hard for me to buy clothes b/c I cannot for the life of me convince myself to buy a smaller size. I honestly look at myself in the mirror and still feel disgusting even though I KNOW that I lost weight. I hate it. I hate being one of those girls who is like 'oh my god im so fat!!!' but I honestly and truely think it.

i went off my meds for awhile.. zoloft worked wonders for me at first.. but then it kind of balanced out and now i'm on lexapro. One day i opened my pills and left them on the edge of the sink while i took them.. well that was stupid cause FH came down and scared the crap out of me and knocked them all out into the sink.. only 2 were salvageable. My doctor was on vacation for 1.5 weeks and i freaked out cause no one else would give them to me without knowing my history..etc. etc. My anxiety got pretty bad again after a week.. i was so relieved when i got my meds again.. (crazy pill popper that i am...lol).. but it took another week to start really working again.. and i'm still having some problems.. argg. it's so frustrating!!! It really is a horrible feeling!

LOL that totally sounds like something I would do. I love to do absurd things. My friend and I were at a Mets game a few weeks ago, and I was just asking random drivers to roll down their window like I had something important to tell them, and when they did I just said 'Mackey Sasser?' who was like some random mets backeup catcher liek 10 years ago. W tf is wrong w/me? GAY.

I actually passed out before I was diagnosed with anxiety, and I happened to be at the gastric---stomach doctor. I got light headed blacked out and the stomach dr thought I had a seziure. After many tests including brian waves/heart tests I was diagnosed with anxiety. TADA!!!!!

That is VERY common. In HS I lost over 100 lbs and STILL felt like the fat girl - even though I was not. They just touched on this on the show 'big medicine' on TLC. The girl had gastric bypass, got skinny, but still had the mentality of a fat girl. She was having trouble with dating and stuff.

I think it's so funny how different meds work for different people--for me, Lexapro was so bad! I got dry mouth which doesn't SOUND so bad but oh man, it drove me nuts, lol! I really wanted to get off the Zoloft because I don't like the idea of having to rely on something chemical, but I guess I still need it.
