SOOOO... As o the beginning of last summer I developed bizarre symptoms switching from Celexa to Zoloft (neck stiffness, back spasms, hot flashes, panic, vertigo, total insanity) and had to stop both cold turkey. I've been working with a Naturopath to try to treat stuff with homeopathy, but due to it's slow nature, I decided to try 5HTP to lift my depression more quickly which BACKFIRED as I started to develop panic. So then I went to a doctor and got Zoloft and took one pill and got even worse panic, woke up at 3 in the morning, and have had cycling panic attacks ever since. It's like a constant panic attack with feelings of dread, and despair and paranoia all at once. I also can't stop thinking about death. It's so messed up, I can't deal with it and have to take ativan all day to cool it off.
I took the Zoloft (a single dose of 10mg) 5 days ago and am still having really bad cycling anxiety. What I want to know is, will this wear off, and how long will it take???
I started Lithium Orotate 4 days ago which is lifting the depression, making me think clearer, and slightly helping the anxiety, but this irritable, angry, crazy, paranoid anxiety that makes me unable to think straight is subsiquentially making me depressed is not letting up... very much. This is my concern. Please help.p.s. I've always had acute anxiety. But never this f-ed up like.
