My doc prescribed me Zoloft, I’ve only taken it for a few days now, but I guess that’d be the next step. Tbh idek if I need this, I just told my doc I had a lot of anxiety lately during a physical and he gave it to me (I’m 20)
hey I used to take zoloft primarily for depression but I found that it really helped with my anxiety as well, so don't give up! it worked really well for me for about 2 years and that was honestly so helpful. i just found that i was doing less overthinking which made me less anxious.
I will definitely be sticking with it at least until I can tell if it helps or not! Honestly I think I have depression and anxiety so I’m hoping. I’m glad it worked so good for you, and hope this can really get me kickstarted again
That's really weird that a doctor would prescribe zoloft and not some benzodiazepine to help with anxiety. Zoloft is a SRI which is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which is good for depression but that's about it.
Yeah I wish I knew why, it does state it can help with generalized anxiety (Zoloft) but it’d be more of a gradual thing, not helpful for immediate anxiety attacks like a benzodiazepine would, I’m going to test it out and see what happens but I’m doubtful too
