I finally got psych testing and got the results of GAD/Major Deppressive Episode as a result. I highly disagreed with the depressive scenario, but will say the anxiety I was having was caused by startup of Zoloft. As a little history I was on 5mg of lexpro for over a year. I could never get over 5mg as the anxiety got worse and worse. I stayed on it for over a year and a half but never got to what i would call my old self. I finally got off lexapro and stayed off for a few months and then tried zoloft with a new psyc and finally decided to get the testing dopne. I am wondering if the results are the result of the anxiety medicine and dont point to something else like ADD? It said no ADD on the testing but i think different. My brother takes Concerat for ADD and he's a whole different kid. Shoot during the testing i was checking emails when the lady came in and asked me what i was doing. I was annoyed and agitated and didnt care to be there. Probably the medicine and my lack of response. During this I was on 21 days at 25mg of zoloft. During this time I couldnt sleep, felt like i couldnt breathe during the day and felt strung out, hence the trainwreck of myself. Once I Weened off the zoloft the SE's went subsided. Symptons never really got better on it after 3 weeks. I would think anxiety would increase but not that much and for that long. Now I am on Lexapro yet again and yet again 3 weeks in on 5mg and my eyes feel strung out, sweaty palms, shakiness, concentration is dirt. Anyone's advice on SSRI's as I am have struggeld with finding one that works for years and am almost feed up with it??? I know people get anxiety from starting up but let me tell you its hell and back everytime i try something different. Losing hope sometimes.
