Starting Medication Today...

I have huge anxiety and I take wellbutrin twice a day with an occasional ativan. The wellbutrin seems to help alot and when I am having some extra anxiety that is bordering on panic I will take an ativan. I have been on it for a year and have become a lot more stable and functional.

Day 3 update- Took zoloft at 3:30pm. It's currently 10:43pm. The anxiety effect is quite a roller coaster for me. Sometimes it's really bad, other times I can bare it. But this anxiety is way worse than anything I've had naturally. My jaw clenching has gotten a lot worse, as it's pretty much constantly clenched unless I'm really distracted from myself.

Hey hollyberrytea, I just started Zoloft yesterday. I too noticed my jaw clenching, it is quite annoying. I will see how the next two weeks go on the Zoloft. My sleep cycle is so screwed up from the PTSD and MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). Not sure if starting the zoloft made it worse last night but I tried to go to sleep around 9:30PM. Didn't fall asleep till 11:30, 12:00P. Woke up at 3:00AM and didn't fall asleep again till 5:30, 6AM. Woke up at 9:00AM.

I was on Zoloft for years. I really had no side effect except a little weight loss that I was happy about. Every body is different. Some meds that work so well for some cause really strange behaviors in others. Good luck finding something that works for you. I have had several hospitalizations and many med changes before I found that Paxil works best for me.
