Hi Amy,
I have the same problem as you do and it came after using ecstasy. i have only ever had it once and was the stupidest thing i have done. But now i am feeling everything u have described. I know it has been a long time since this was posted but i would really appreciate it if u could let me know how u feel now and if u got better.
Thankyou

Is there any family history of anxiety disorders or depression or anything? This could be short-term illness or not, any which way you look at it You need to take care of yourself and let your care-provider know how you really feeling, thinking, behaving and living.

So, maybe the Zoloft will kick in soon (how long have you been taking therapeutic doses?)or maybe it's the wrong med. Most of us on this board have tried quite a cocktail of meds, many of which didn't do a thing but give us horrendous side-effects.

Talk to the pro's at John Hopkins University and see what they have to offer you. A week in-house isn't too bad at all. Keep us updated and keep yourself safe.
