I went to work on my day off and opened the department alone and work 5 hrs by myself those who have read my threads know that this is a huge issue but today I had no symptoms no chest pains no weird body pains except for during the morning meeting but I pushed through it. But my biggest leap was after work I took my daughter for a hair cut alone just her and I no one with me just me and my jujube I was so excited and proud of myself then we came home and I started to feel a little jittery so we curled up watched some Disney and took a nap. Today was a blessing I feel like the new dose of meds is finally kicking in and doing what it should. I feel like I'm getting a little bit of my life back cracking jokes smiling laughing even though it was dull and grey here in Ohio.

I now believe more then ever we all can get through this together with the support of each other

Smoore- I was at 25 mg of Zoloft and in Feb we upped it to 50mg I still have some of the side effects like fatigue and cotton mouth but those too I am pushing past although I find that I am taking more naps when I am not scheduled to work but am able to wake up not feeling so panicked or shaking so I figure I few more weeks of the side effects and I should be good to go for a while and keep moving forward
