Aa
please help!
My doctor prescribed me 50mg of Zoloft about two Weeks ago and I haven't took then because I was so scared of the side affects. I an 24 year old female and this anxiety is taking over my life. I have been taking st John wort for about 3 Weeks now and out was working at first but seems like it just stopped. My question is how long do I wait to take Zoloft after taking st John wort? I usually only take one pill a day of sjw and I took one today can I take Zoloft tomorrow and if so does it work? Please help I am at my breaking point with this anxiety and often have thoughts of taking my own life but I think of my 3 kids and calm myself down a little.any help? I need a friend :(
I know how you feel. I have been suffering from extreme anxiety/panic for many years.Got so bad 1 1/2 years ago cannot leave my house. I tried all the natural r emedies..St Johns Wort, 5htp, etc.etc..I finally gave in and I am trying prozac..I also am very sensitive to medications, so I am starting at such a low dose..1/4 of the normal dose and still feel weird..However, I just read this amazing article about med dosing..It was the cover story in March 2003 in LE Magazine, if you can locate it, please read it..Most people do not need to be on the "starting dose" docs put us on..Studies show that 1/4 to 1/2 dose of just as effective and had less side effects..I wish of you the best of luck with Zoloft, if Prozac does not help that will be my next try...
Just give your doctor a call and ask. That would be the safest avenue. I'm willing to bet he/she will tell you it's okay to just start the Zoloft. Double check and let us know.
Hang in there!
Hang in there!
thanks.ok but the question is after taking st John wort how long do I have to wait to take the Zoloft
Zoloft saved my life!!! The first couple weeks in it I felt weird on and off, but noticed if I didn't think about it, I felt better. I started on 25 though, but I'm sensitive to meds. Take it!!! You will be amazed how much better you feel. Hugs!
Not sure about the pill , but call the dr or even your drug store where you got it filled they can tell you
Let me say, I have had anxiety since I was 19 it's been a long hard road but with the help of my awesome hubby , his support I've made it threw some hard days
You need a good support , that you can call,talk to,lean on, someone who's there for you and helps you get threw the anxiety times
You can do it, try to get your mind on some thing other than how your feeling, stay busy, walking is great for it exercise is good for it,
Try the meds , if you don't like them go off and they will go out of your system and it be ok, but never give up push forward you have kids that need you
Plz keep in touch, you will be ok , remember anxiety won't kill you just makes your days bad if you let it,
Prayers for you
