Tried Zoloft...messed with my head too much. Even at only 12.5mg (half of the 25mg in the starting pack) I was getting such vivid dreams and nightmares that I feared going to sleep. Plus I would get bursts of intense anger. Stopped Zoloft pretty quick because of all of this.
Then on Welb. XL...took a little of the edge off, but still have plenty of anxiety/stress. Also hit me hard at first, even at an extremely low dose. While most people get anxious...I got depressed and lathargic. Very slowly (and I mean very) we got me up to 300mg, but even that is really pushing it. We want to try and bring me down because of my initial reaction at the 300mg.
Now trying to add Buspar. Not sure if that will work because of how much it is knocking me out at such a low dose. If I feel like this on only 5-7.5mg of Buspar, I can't even imagine what Xanax or Klonopin would do to me! hahaha! Hopefully, my head will start to get used to it and this exhaustion will disapear.
I seem to be very sensitive to meds. Like when I take pain killers or muscle relaxants...I fall asleep within 30 minutes and I'm asleep for 17 hours straight. The longer I take any of these kinds of meds, the less reality seems real. I hate the feeling!
