I’ve been on Zoloft for about 2 years 150 mg I think. I stopped taking them for about a year now (with my doctor’s supervision) because things were going well but the last month has been quite shitty and well after thanksgiving and 4 days of binge drinking, my anxiety just went through the roof. Had to go see my doctor to tell him that my anxiety was kind of back full force and she said I should be back on medication. Truth is, I’m not 100% sure about going back on meds as it has been going quite well for the last year except for this month, but if it’s the best route I can use, of course I’ll do it.

Question is: I don’t feel like Zoloft has helped me that much on my anxiety, think it just numbed it out, which might sound like it did its job, but I don’t see that way. I’ve been looking at Lexapro and Effexor right now if I have to go back on meds. You guys mind sharing insights with meds you have taken? Kind of scared of side effects too, especially low libido, ED, fast heart rate/anxiety etc.. 😥
