So I've had an anxiety disorder since I was 12 years old, I am now 21 and within the past year my anxiety has started to come back. I was on paxil up until the fall of this year and am now on zoloft. I went to the doctor today to see if we could change something with my medication and she upped my dosage to 200, the maximum dose.
I've noticed that this year especially, I've been getting myself so nervous that I'll actually throw up. I wake up in the morning really nervous and then I try to calm myself down and as soon as I try to eat something it comes back up within an hour of me finishing it. Not to get too graffic, but I also have been having diarrhea too. The doctor took a blood test today to make sure that there isn't anything wrong with my thyroid glands.
If the test comes back negative, is it possible that the zoloft could be causing me to feel worse/more sick? I'm just sick of constantly increasing my dose. I'm only 100 lbs and 5 ft tall, which makes me think that this is just too much medicine to be pumping into me. But I really want to feel better. Any suggestions?
Also, I asked my doctor about hormone replacement therapy cause I told her I thought I might have an imbalance that was causing this, but she said that she thinks hrt is just a scam and that you can't have a hromone imbalance at this young of an age. Is this true? Thanks for reading
