I usually have about 1-3 panic attacks per year. Been to the ER 5 times thinking they were heart attacks. I was drinking heavily back then and hangovers contributed to the PAs. Been sober for almost a year and a half and have been perfectly happy with hardly any anxiety at all. I was managing well. As of 8 days ago I’m having more anxiety than I’ve ever had. Dealing with some medical issues and it just triggered something in me. Like a switch flipped. I’ve had 15 panic attacks in the last 8 days. Anything will set then off it seems. I have Xanax to take to manage and just took my first Zoloft pill (never done an antidepressant). Had worst panic attack ever tonight.  Almost went back to the ER but luckily taking more Xanax helped. Mind you I had already taken the Xanax earlier but still had an attack, which hasn’t happened before. Can the Zoloft make the anxiety worse? I dunno if I can make the anxiety any worse than it is, because I won’t be able to function. Appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.
