Edit: I want to thank everyone for their words of encouragement. Also, apologies. I didn’t know how this socially awkward/ socially awesome meme/post was supposed to be. I learned something new today!

I started taking Zoloft about a year ago and have noticed a HUGE improvement in my anxiety!

This is big. Have everything you have - minus OCD - so I know this is a very, very BIG deal.

Excellent @OP! Go ahead and cry. Happy tears are good tears.

I hope there is something better than the on-the-meds-off-the-meds routine for us out there. the blanket medication bandaid doesn’t heal all
TeamSpicyTacos
I call it vitamin Z
AzraelEternity
I am very happy for you and I'm glad you're getting the result you were hoping for with your medication.
AzraelEternity
Also as an FYI so you know in the future for the penguin meme: blue is bad (Socially Awkward), red is rad (Socially Awesome). Best wishes!

If you can't make your own neurotransmitters, store-bought is fine

Yeah I had a nervous breakdown a few years back, was having PAs all day every day. Thought I was dying. 100mg of Zoloft and vistril helps.
ALStaysHome
Same on the issues. Welbutrin for me, currently. Really happy you are moving forward!! PTSD is awful. I struggle daily.

Zoloft made a huge difference in my wife’s anxiety. It changed our entire life. We wouldn’t have kids without it. Glad it’s working for you!

Baby steps. Every day is another good day.

Good for you @OP, it sometimes takes folks a bit to find the right cocktail for their particular chemistry. I’m glad you’ve found something!
heytherey0u
Woohoo! I have OCD too and Zoloft is my savior!!!

Zoloft got me through high school with severe OCD, depression, and anxiety. Maxed out at 300mg after 4 years. It was great when it
Zaffnar
Lasted. Now 16 years later I use other methods like st john's wort.

If you don't mind sharing, which brand do you use??

I'm on my 4th week of sertraline, game changer! Haven't felt this normal since I was 10. I'm 32. No more panic attacks or anxiety is unreal.
EtaCatinae
Right? I was having anxiety daily & panic attacks in my sleep induced from nightmares. I’m still sleeping 3hrs a day, but feeling better!
EtaCatinae
I’m used to insomnia, but having panic attacks or anxiety around my kids, that has been tough. I’m just glad something works bc I’ve missed-
EtaCatinae
So much. Fam would go out w/o me for the same reason. I didn’t feel like a failure 4 the 1st time in a while.
Pluppokopter
I've also been waking up after just a few hours of sleep! And I still have nighmares, but they're not giving me panic anymore, only "huh..."
ISnortSocks
Just started Zoloft after dealing with undiagnosed dysthymia since I was 13. 3 days in and the nausea is going down. Good to hear it works!
EtaCatinae
The first 2 weeks I lost my appetite completely for the same reason, but stuck with it to let it get in my system. Keep going, You got this!
ISnortSocks
Stickin' to it of course, I've already started noticing less side-effects. Fast metabolism finally seems to be a good thing!
brizio
Damn dude. Leave some letters for the rest of us.
EtaCatinae
Sorry about that. If I could give them back I would. ITMT, what doesn’t kill you, gives you depression.?

HunglikeaHamster
Also, do you really have OCD if you don't call it CDO?

Hope this didn't make them sad again lol

True but we know what they meant so I'm gonna let them slide.

What does this mean? Asking for a friend
tzxAzrael
rad is bodacious, and bad is not.
Velv3tThunder
I thought it had something to do with the pills until my brain unfucked itself. The Red penguin background is for the good thing, not bad.
kindpanda
The colors of the meme. The bad part goes on a blue background and the good part goes on a red background
forensicfilesbestofseason1
I always thought it was the other way around. At least it was on Pleated Jeans 10 years ago.
