Anxiety About Emdr And New Medication

I am going to do some EMDR today about my trauma. I'm already getting nervous about it, even though I have done it before. I've been hiding from people this weekend since I am not feeling well. Very anxious.

I've been taking the zoloft for six days now and have been having some side effects. They are getting better and I know the first couple of weeks can be tough for some people. Most are recommending that I stick it out and I have talked to the doctor a couple times. She told me it would probably make me more anxious at first and it definitely has, so I am just trying to hang in there.

Worst case scenario is trying something different if the side effects don't continue to improve. I just hate waiting but I think it's worth it to see since I am so sensitive to meds.
 
I know that feeling! I hate waiting to see how my body will handle new meds! Make sure you do lots of self care during this time- and good luck with the EMDR!
