i have suffered from depression anxiety and panic attacks for quite a while.ive been addressed to take medications many times but was reluctant to take them.however i got them all thinking i would eventually take them but never did.my depression is quite serious and couldnt be considered mild or moderate by any means.these last days my depression has increased and has become overwhelming and paralysing.i think i need to take something now at least for some time.i also got a bottle of sjw but havent taken it.my psychiatrist said i should take zoloft since i was totally reluctant to paxil because of the horror stories ive heard about it and its withdrawal symptoms.i asked him about sjw and he said he doesnt recommend it for me,that instead i should try zoloft.most doctors around here dont even know what sjw is,at least this one knew it existed.i need something to calm my symptoms quick because im going through a very hard time.since sjw is mostly considered effective for mild to moderate depression and my depression and anxiety are very serious, along with some ocd(mostly negative thoughts that go on an on in vicious cycles),and knowing that sjw takes more to act, i think i will try zoloft firstfor sometime and maybe then switch to sjw when im in a better and less stressful time and when i get my thoughts together.do you think i should do this? (try zoloft first) or should i do it the other way around(first sjw,if it doesnt help zoloft).please consider that im desperate and cannot handle this much longer.also ive heard horrific stories about paxil but not so dramatic things about zoloft.sorry for the long post.
