Ok if you seen from my last post my doctor put on a medication called zoloft and the first time I took it I felt out of it like spaced out and no feeling in my chest and mind is a blank and I've only Been on this for four days. I just don't like feeling like this and I do feel calm but not really, feel like my heart is still beating and having that throat closing up feeling like I'm dying. I just want to get better that's all and everyone's telling me meds are gonna help me but that's my problem I don't like taking pills cause of one bad experience with a pill many years ago and basically scared to take one and it doesn't matter what kinda pill it is, just have a tough time taking them. My girlfriend tells me it will get better with the pill and I love her for everything that she has done for me and happy that she's by my side cause she's been there for me through it all and I take the pill cause I promised her, so of anyone can relate to this about that medication zoloft please leave a post and I'll get back to you and I was thinking about stopping the pill but I'm trying my best not to cause and I know I have to give the medication a chance to work but I know nothing of it. I'm not gonna google the medication cause I'll over look it and cause more problems so if anyone here can share or relate to my experience with this medication please and do and I'll get to you peace.

Hey mate. ***** that your having such a hard time taking a pill that should be helping you. When I was first put on a medication called LYRICA (for chronic nerve pain and anxiety) I was a mess!! couldn't get up without my head spinning. Ide just fall back down. Lost about 15 kilos. lost my appetite completely. I slept all day and night. Basically for about 4 weeks I was a weak, sick, dying human being who took the medication to feel better in the first place. The DR'S just kept saying, it takes a while for the body to adjust to new medication and some people cop it worse than others. It was har to trust what they were saying because I was just about ready to bang my head against the wall ( lucky I didn't have the energy) It took me a while for the bad effects to go away but they did. I have no side effects anymore. It may just take time but if your suffering from anxiety, depression or another mood disorder, sometimes you just need help and medication can be that help. even if its just temporary.
