Hello everyone. My name is James Im 35 and i have been dealing with Anxiety and Panic Attacks since i was 17 years old. I always managed my anxiety without medication my whole life. Through exercise, meditation, tons of research and other natural remedies. My anxiety went away for a long time but it came back a couple of years ago then went away again. Two Months ago i had a horrible Panic attack that had me taken to the hospital. I had extensive tests done. Tons of Heart tests Monitors, ekg, Echo, Stress Test etc. all normal. I had tons of blood tests and xrays all normal too. I never took meds for my anxiety and never wanted to. This time was so bad my doctor suggested that i try meds. It took alot of convincing and i finally said ill try it I was at the point i didnt want anxiety to control my life because it started effecting every aspect of my life. He started me on Zoloft the first two weeks were a nightmare i had the worst anxiety i have ever had in my life and i thought i was going to die everyday. I called the doctor and explained this he said give it a chance it takes some time for your body to adjust and it will get better. I continued taking the meds then i started to get dizzy and light headed and disconnected felt like i was in a dream state and not real. i spoke to the doctor again and he said give it a little more time. I was on the meds for 2 months and i got to the point were i am Dizzy with vertigo feelings light headed and a disconnected dream state feeling 24/7 non stop. I called the doctor he told me to ween off the meds and he didnt think this was the right meds for me. He instructed me to take half the dose for a week and then take it every other day for a week then stop taking the meds. I did that i havent been on the meds for about 5 or 6 days and i still feel dizzy with vertigo feeling lightheaded and total dream like state lik im not in my body constantly. My head has become a little more clearer in the last couple of days. I also have been waking up again with morning wood. That hasnt happened in two months that i was on the meds. The meds completely messed with my libido. So i was wondering if anyone else has ever felt or experienced the same thing that i am going through. If so how long did it take for them to feel like themselves again. Its at the point where i feel like im going to be like this forever. If this is what its like for meds im glad i never took them and dont think i will again. I just want to feel normal again and im going to start to do yoga and exercise again and try natural remedies and therapy. Any info would be great thanks in advance
