I suffered from anxiety for a number of years. My anxiety manifested itself in physical symptoms, too, so it really got in the way of my life. Every time I had a final, or some major event, I'd throw up. It took a lot of tests and a lot of doctors to figure this out. I was on Zoloft for the better part of a year. It helped a lot at the time. Since I made the decision to come off of it, I've never had any major anxiety episodes. I don't know if I learned to deal with my anxiety, or if it's something I just outgrew.
I liked the Zoloft a lot--I didn't feel drugged, I just felt "even", if that makes sense. I HATED coming off of it, though. I should have done that under doctor supervision.
I wish you the best of luck, my dear.
Love,
Saby
