Better Living Through Chemistry

Posted by Cinderella on August 19, 2004, at 8:39:12

I've only been on Zoloft 25mg for a little over a week and already I feel better! Contrary to what the patient info says about taking up to 4 weeks to achieve results, Before, I felt like I was living in a black and white movie. I felt blah about everything that should be fun and exciting. I dreaded each day and it was a struggle to move and keep going. My whole body ached and I cried at the drop of a hat and felt extremely hurt and sensitive all the time. It's no wonder I was that way too! I live with an over-critical husband who is also depressed and anxious but refuses to do anything about it, I have to deal with my schizophrenic mom, I have a stressful and depressing job, a teenage daughter and have recently suffered through 2 traumatic events. Yesterday, I was finally able to write in my journal "the kind of woman I want to be". I set goals for myself not to be hurt by criticism anymore and to be emotionally independent, organized and productive: an unwavering presence in the face of trial and adversity. Although I haven't been sleeping much since starting the Zoloft (I've tried switching from taking at night to the morning..still can't sleep) but I don't miss the sleep. I still feel wide-eyed and clear-minded. It's weird. Nothing anyone says bothers me and my emotions are in check. This is a wonderful breakthrough for me. Something I've been hoping for for a long time. Just had to share my success.
