Debbi you are not a failure!!! I would stop the OJ though! But really, you are not a failure. I feel that way sometimes when I have a bad day, especially after having a few good days. And anxiety always happens at the worst time. Some day, you will be able to explain to your son about your anxiety. Plus, not going is better then going and then panicking and maybe causing a scene. Its better you stayed home. You need to call your nurse and see what she recommends you do with the meds. As soon as you start your paxil, you will be fine. Waiting for the meds to work is a pain though.Be patient. I know it is hard but you have to try. And not matter what, you are not a failure. You try your best. This is a real problem. If you had another medical issue, like cancer or the flu or something, you wouldn't be expected to function. And anxiety is a true medical problem. We all know that. Maybe your son and husband don't see it that way but you do. Just keep trying to do better. And that my friend, is all you can do. I will pray for you.,

I feel like a big failure! I could not go to my son's award ceremonies. I am so dizzy the room is whirling around, and my lower stomach hurts and burns so bad I am doubled over, I had to take a 1/2 Klonopin just to counteract the effects of the dose of Zoloft. My stomach feels like its going to ruputure, I only slept 4 hours and the Zoloft on a empty stomach with coffee and orange juice has tore me up, its like a nausea period cramps, I would never be seen at school, I would keel over, I feel like I am dying! I am going to lay down till this passes and I hope I wake up, this is terrible after the 2 good days its like a brutal horrible insult to my body, and I let my son down, I will never take the Zoloft again it has startd something awful! Please say prayers for me. Debbie.

It probably is a good idea to wean off the zoloft. I dunno if you can take them at the same time. I would call your nurse. I'm sure this is just withdraw since you don't have the shakes like you normally do. I am sure you will do fine today. Just keep reminding yourself of the good days you had and how the withdraw is probably doing this other stuff. Don't pressure yourself to go if you really aren't up for it. I find that when I feel like I HAVE to do something, I get freaked out. Good luck today!

I had a couple of good days. This morning I woke very early with a upset stomach, headache, burning lower stomach, and chest discomfort! I am NOT shaking through, I think its withdrawal from the Zoloft, I had to take a small dose just to get up and get moving, helped the headache and chest but the tummy is still bad. I guess I will have to "wean" it I am afraid to take the Paxil till I am through with the Zoloft, I fear "serontion syndrome" I have to go to my son's school today for a ceremony and I am SO nervous, perhaps that is why I could not sleep and my stomach is burning. I have not been out of the house during the day in awhile, at evening or night I am better, please wish me luck, if I go I am afraid, if I do not go I will feel like "worst Mother of the year" guilt!! Well I had 2 good days, today not so good, but I am trying to hold it together, I am afraid to change meds. If anyone ever took Zoloft while changing to Paxil please let me know! I will let everyone know if I make it to school. I really want to go. Thanks, Debbi
