I have been reading a lot on line and i came to this site and i was so excited to find it. About 10 years ago i had a breakdown , I was so scared and didn't know what was happing to my body . I went to the Dr and they put me on ZOLOFT. I also went into therapy Which was very good . She told me i had GAD, she was very helpful and gave me a lot of information which helped . After being off work for 4 months i was able to go back and get back on track with my life. During the last years i have had some time where i would stop the medicine telling myself i was better ,but i was not. So i would end up in the ER thinking i was dieing. So i felt like the Zoloft was not helping so i went off of it like 9 months ago . Well the First of January i was in the Dr.office getting new medicine . It is so crazy how this makes you feel ,most of my family have some kind of anxiety or panic,I come from a very large family ,i lost my mom when i was 15 years old so they all took care of me after she passed away. I am really hoping i can do this and be strong again like before. Our at least i thought i was strong. Sorry for the the mistakes in my spelling and the grammar.
