I was really suffering terribly from anxiety just a few months ago. Terrible physical symptoms....I had been taking 45 mg of Buspar daily, but it just wasn't cutting it. My doc prescribed Zoloft....a very small amt about 6 weeks ago. Well, that seemed to do the trick....I have been feeling SO much better....back to how I felt before I started dealing with panic disorder. Now, I fought taking Zoloft for So long, but I am glad that I finally decided to give it a try. My family even notices the difference in me.... I'm so excited that I can seem to live my life again.

Trinidiva, the improvements you've made are just another example of why psychiatric meds are so important. So many people try to overcome their mental illness without these pills. And while I can see some others being afraid of long term side effects that can go along with taking meds, I would not recommend attempting to overcome mental issues without these drugs.

I'm in the same boat. Was facing daily panic attacks, was relying heavily on Ativan. Started taking 15mg Lexapro and it was like one day I snapped out of it. Have needed to take ativan once in 6 weeks, and have been between perfectly fine and a little anxious. SO happy.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I am only taking 5ml which is a very small amt, but I am taking it along with 45 mg of Buspar. I rarely have to take my xanax anymore!!! I've been feeling so much better I honestly haven't been back on the forum for a while.....
