Francesco,
Hope that zoloft works for you. Reading your posts it sounds like we are alot alike, I am 28 also - and have a 'kind of' girlfriend as well. Part of my problem is that I need to end that relationship I think - but I am afraid too. For all my 'issues' I am a decent man, and she has a tendency to lie and manipulate. I am more afraid of being 'alone' then losing her when it comes down to it...anyways...I have been battling the depression/anxiety thing for about 5 years with meds (dealt with anxiety growing up but wasn't the issue it is now).
Currently I am on nothing...its been about 2 weeks, I was on Remeron for 6 months or so but it didn't help my anxiety and made me pretty tired all the time (plus some weight gain). I have been taking .5mg of klonopin occasionally. It seems to help some but unfortunetly I am beginging to suspect that I am bi-polar. I never feel 'great' but I definetly feel like sh*t one day or most of the day, then I feel pretty normal - able to go out shopping, talk with people etc. Its all rather confusing and scary.
Yesterday I came home from work, I just couldn't handle it, even after 2mg of Klonopin - today was a little rough in the morning and now I feel ok.
I know what you mean by a zoloft moment or whatever, I often wonder what the 'real' me thinks about a particular situation. I often feel like my depression/anxiety is clouding the issue, sometimes I feel like my medication is clouding my thoughts. Its a fine line.
Would you say you are more depressed or more anxious? Or a combination of the two?
