Thanks for the reply, my thoughts were just the starting dose, I dont have issue with using 50mg. I guess it depends, I took my first dose last night and I dont feel any sides so I guess I am used to benzo's or other things with knock you out or make you more nervous.

I just received Zoloft for the first time for panic/social anxiety etc. The thing is, he went right to 50mg which most people told me they started at 25mg. I got a bit nervous about this so I split the pill. Is it really a big jump to go straight to 50 or should I take 25 for a week or so?

I think Google has a place when you already know whats wrong with you. Other than that its like a panic attack on the web.

I have. I have constant issues sleeping. Even after working out and when I am exhausted. If it is a Sunday night and I worked out I have to make sure I take something to sleep of forget it. I also try not to stimulate myself too much those night I cannot sleep in. I am a night person which doesn't help me either. On those days I don't sleep I am usually a lot more anxious during the day the next day. I am prone to racing heart and light headed feelings. I counter this by avoiding even the slightest caffeine unless I have to "perform" at a meeting or something.

As others have said. There really isn't a cure so to speak but you can cope with it to a point that it doesn't bother you. I think you are on the right track. For me social anxiety makes me feel closed in around a lot of people. Even outside like at a beach. Its a real pain in the neck and truthfully it is just a comfort thing. If you think about it, it might just be whatever makes you uncomfortable or threatened is the source of your anxiety. Your body is just doing its thing. Your mind thinks you are threatened, your body reacts. If you can convince the mind you are safe, you can overcome it. Of course if everyone could do that we wouldn't be here.

I started with clonezepam and still take it. The dosage is real low and I find the muscle relaxant part works nice for some other issues I deal with. I tried other things along the years but they would never work.

I go through this. My son who is 7 showed signs for a while. We cut gluten and have them on a more paleo diet. Sugar is hard, especially when you look at what they feed kids at party's. We never took our son to get tested, even though his teacher had us fill out a form an all this crap. Turns out she is an old Nun and just literally has a military way of thinking. I am not stupid, I know he can be hyper but there is no way I will ever medicate him. Kids are not exactly the same even though the schools are trying their best to make them be that way.

These are difficult things to deal with. Its real simple, alcohol isn't a treatment for anything. That is why they don't call it medication. Its sad but sometimes people need a real shock to see it. Like the threat of a Wife leaving. Either way sounds like he needs more than you talking to him. That is before he hurts himself or someone else. A person with problems who drinks heavily is a ticking time bomb...

I know its weird but over the years when something is bothering me I always tell myself "What are you worried about, its not going to kill you" I might still be anxious but its a lot easier to deal with.

I have been thinking about this for a while. Especially at home. I just wonder what the long term safety is.

I used to smoke. I don't think I have relaxed since I stopped. I think most likely it masked a problem I would have had anyway but still. Yesterday I worked out (weights) then ran on the treadmill. I was outside getting some sun and went to bed at a decent time. I had some relaxing music on and everything and I was up all night.

When my Anxiety first came on I was actually in the process of moving back home. I was in school and my roommate moved out so I could not swing the rent alone. At first it was nice especially since I was being medicated for the first time but after a month or so I was going nuts. I was out of there in 6 months. Each situation is different but I would think maybe some short term savings for you would be good and you can bolt when you are on your feet.

I remember when I was making a career change I started going to computer school. This is around the time my panic stuff started and when it was the most out of control. It would typically happen during class so I literally had to walk around outside because I didn't know what was going on. I didn't just suffer through it though. I went and got treated. If this keeps going on I would not hesitate to go and see someone.

What makes this movie great are 2 things: 1) If you watched all the others they literally have elements from every movie and they are relevant 2) If you didn't see any of them it doesn't matter. I like how they sort of get right to it. The pacing is great. I really thought half the movie would be a talk fest.

My favorite is that kustard you get down the jersey shore. My second favorite it all of them.
