Positive medication

[marrymoo]

I first went to doctors in October and after being diagnosed with anxiety & mild depression I finally went on medication in November, my doctor first put me on sertraline 50mg one a day, but after going back for regular check ups I still found that I was just as bad with the tablets than without them... So a few weeks ago he up my does to 100mg and has give me 80mg propranolol slow release once a day and I've found that my symptoms are getting better slowly but surely although I still have my rough days... And I have also been referred to CBT (congregated behaviour therapy) which i have not have my 1st meeting yet.. I hope this info can be of use to someone.... There is light at the end of this blackhole!!

I'm on 100mg Sertraline & awaiting CBT too. Hope it helps us!
I'm getting fed up of having to use diazepam to feel slightly normal.

Diazepam is shit it don't work I swear

It's been working for me, but I have been taking 3 lots of 2mg per day as I don't think this dose lasts long enough for me personally.
The ONLY thing I've found that calms me down is to have a couple of beers. But that's a path I don't really want to be heading down.

Alcahol makes me nuts and diazepam wears of after half hour if I even feel it

I've been on Sertraline 50mg for a little over two weeks now. Before that I was on Paxil 30mg, but the Paxil made me feel worse.

I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression, so after the Paxil I was given Sertraline.

Sertraline did nothing for my anxiety, but helped significantly with my depression.

I went back for my two week follow up a couple days ago and my doctor gave me Burspirone 10mg, I just got that today.

I'm glad you've found something that is helping you! Makes me happy and hopeful for myself and others.
