Are you now feeling better on the Zoloft and Lithium? Is your depression gone?
I am going to be increasing the Zoloft this week. Last time I was on it I was on 250mg.
I've been going through for years and years. Meds don't really work for me. Parnate and Prozac worked, but then they stopped.
I am not sleeping, but I wasn't sleeping before I started the Zoloft.
The only anxiety I have is about food. I have anorexia and I am going through a bad time now and I can't eat anything. The thought of the calories makes me so anxious.
It's not the anxiety that is winning, it is the deep dark depression.
Thank you for your encouragement.

> Hi there,
> I know the desperation that you feel right now. I'm on Zoloft also. I take 100 MG at night and 100MG of Trazadone for sleep in the am I take 450 MG of Lithium. It sounds discouraging that you have been on it for 2 weeks and you have seen nothing. By any chance are you sleeping? I know the not thinking feeling. I get asked constantly what I want to eat and I can't even think of what food tastes like to request something. I will tell you that if you take the time every day and write down all the bad and all the good you will notice that the good will slowly increase. I too have had those moments of desperation. In fact that is why I am writing to you. I feel like we are experiencing the same thing. I had gone off my meds because of insurance reasons and then my sister died. I started obsessing about death and worring that I was going to die and leave my husband. He is my rock. I saw my therapist and she said that it will take some time to get over the grief. My PSYCH put me back on my med's and didn't slowly introduce me. I think that she said that it would shock my system. Well it did. I'm experiencing nervousness. Which Zoloft is an upper. I keep on having hot flashes and I can't stay out of the bathroom. I am trying to remind myself that it will be worth it in the end. Try to remember this when the anxiety is trying to win.
