    About Me

    Been suffering on and off with anxiety and minor depression for years. Had bad anxiety attacks which scared the heck out of me about 6 years ago, and was put on zoloft. About 6 months ago I got off it because I didn't want to be dependent on it for rest of my life. Zoloft also caused me to gain extra weight, which was impossible to lose while on the meds. Now I have been in talk therapy for the past couple of months, after my anxiety came back again and started affecting my life. I have my good days and bad days. But I'm striving for all good days.

    Interests

    Music (rock, punk, classical, some show tunes), guitar (electric and acoustic), road trips and traveling, reading, hiking, walking.

    • Close Anxiety

      I have suffered from anxiety and mild depression on and off for years. Mostly anxiety is the problem - I have had attacks when under stress or feeling overwhelmed. I am off meds, as I want to deal with this without them. Talk therapy has been helping.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
      It took a while to kick in - not as quickly as Xanax, which is better. Anti-anxiety meds are good for quick fix, they shouldn't be taken daily though.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Was on Zoloft for 6 years, recently got off it about 6 months ago because I don't want to depend on meds rest of life, plus it is hard to lose weight while on zoloft.
