Every time I had a panic attack or obsessive thoughts I was so weak that I thought about taking zoloft. But I just told myself that maybe other methods will be fine, such as good diet, exercises and relaxation skills. Yes sometimes they work and I felt fine. But the panic episode/fear came back every one or two months. I was depressed and just want to cry because I couldn't get rid of it! I suffered every time and couldn't decide to take zoloft or not. I don't want to stick to a medicine for my rest of life. But it's really tough to use alternative methods. The attacks/obsessive thoughts just keeping coming again and again just when I began to feel fine...
Therapy should always be your first strategy. You should only try drugs to complement the therapy if your symptoms are really bad. Remember that for therapy to work you really need to be able to communicate anything to the therapist. Sometimes you have to see different people before you find the right person.
Thank you. I went to a therapist for three times after a horrible insominia attack for two weeks and then I felt normal again. I thought that when I went to see him that would make me think that I'm sick. Because when I tried to forget I had panic disorders I'm free from pains. I stopped going there for a month but last week the funny feelings came again. No panic but very strong fears. I guess I'll go to see him again. Or just stick to zoloft. I want to be well soon.
take zoloft or not?
