7 weeks ago i started effexor, then 2 weeks ago i changed for zoloft. Effexor made the anxiety stay, and i still had panic attacks, but i think it helpe dmy mood.
Now on zoloft, the anxiety is gone, but my mood is horrible. I’m really depressed. wake up every morning not wanting to stay alive. And its so hard to fight that thought.
It took me 2 years to actually agree to taking the meds. and it was my last hope. now i keep having to change. Which by the way, i have side effects everyday for 7 weeks now. Its not a good thing..
Should i change again? I got a docs app. in a week. Should i go back to effexor, or try a new one? I’m going crazy. Im so sick of this.

Does anyone here have the same problem?
And most importantly, does anyone have any words of encouragement for me..?

medication for panic attacksKristy J asked:

Hi, I am currently taking celexa 20 mg for panic attacks. I have been on it for about 6 months, but prior to that, I was on effexor xr for 8 months. Ever since I have started taking antidepressants, I have gained 20 pounds and I really don’t eat that much or even any different for that matter. I was wondering if anyone knows of one that does not cause weight gain. This extra weight has just added to my anxiety and lowered my self esteem so I am afraid to go off it because my panic attacks were really bad. Any advice from anyone with similar experience? Thanks to all
