Hi All,
I've been on 50 mg Zoloft for the last 7 months. It certainly stabilizes my mood swings/tears/anger etc.
But once in a while, like today, something will just 'trigger' me and my anger will sky rocket and then I'll start crying - and I can't control it. My Dr. had prescribed Xanax to try if I wanted the next time I had a 'trigger' episode.
So today I took a 0.25 mg Xanax for the first time. Since I was at work and not sure what to expect, I locked myself in the office, laid down and cried a bit and then I decided to do some no-brainer work.
The urge to cry went away but I wasn't happy or high or sleep or spacey. So I guessed it work.
But how does it work?
Do any of you take it just for periodic episodes? How long does it take til it 'kicks-in'? Then how/what do you feel?
I may or may not take another tonight although I feel ok. I'm afraid I'll wake up in the middle of the night and start going over the trigger event over/over in my head.
I've tried upping the zoloft but it affects my sleep. I am also adding Enada NADH ( and 100 mg B complex and 400 mg no-flush Niacin (B3) to my supplements but I haven't seen any obvious positive effects after 1 week).
thanks,
-gs
