find it hard to focus and feel like i'm in another world. can anyone relate?

Question

For over 1 month I have felt all out of sorts and almost as if i'm in another world or a dream. This happens from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. I even find it hard to drive and go to work everyday. I also feel more tired then usual. The doctor put me on zoloft about 2 weeks ago. I still feel the same way. I feel that it is hard to do everyday things and it is starting to drive me crazy. If anyone has ever felt this way please let me know and be honest.

Answer 1

I just wanna say, don't go on celexa , it does NOTHING for anxiety, or depression. Zoloft will work for depression but not anxiety. Prozac, not so good for anxiety, OK for depression. It really depends on your body, some people find certain things work for them better than others, it seems that zoloft isn't working for you, time for a switch.
If you switch your meds, you'll need to be watched by a loved one, to make sure you don't get depressed. When I switched to celexa I didn't want to get outta bed for two days. I had to though, (life)
Try Lexapro,,,, and make sure someone is there to take care of you, while you switch.. I know your desperate for answers, I wish I had them for you.IT helps if you have someone to talk to, I am here, check on me sometime to see my silly questions, I am eager to hear your answers.
I have had alot of bad stuff happen in my life this past year, and when things got better, and I let my guard down, that is when I got GAD. It's weird that when I was going through all my "STUFF" that I was fine. It's like your body is on survival mode, and you are stronger than you thought you could ever be, and when you have to be in survival mode for too long, it's like all of a SUDDEN... bam, your on the curb of the highway outta gas, and you didn't see it coming.

Answer 2

I understand what your going through. Its' been hell for me I've tried Zoloft but I didn't seem to care for it maybe ask your doctor for Prozac or a new age pill called selexa. Try not to drive to much only when you really have to because you can't focus and your going to "space out" and really hurt somebody so you better find out how much your covered in insurance in case you get hurt or some else gets hurt .
There is also a new treatment that apparently works pretty good for those who are med resistant and it's called trans cranial magnetic therapy. Good luck!

Answer 3

i am exactly the same way as you. a year and a half ago i woke up and thought i was still in a dream. i quit work six months ago and have been unable to function normal for about a year and a half now. i was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. i have tried several different medications and nothing has seemed to help the least bit. im in the same situation, it's driving me nuts!

Answer 4

if its not anemia, then u can go to a psychatrists
or
may be some big/small lose/faliue bothering u
or
u can win(shiv khera) or talking to a friend or family member(the closest one available) -can heal
best to find solace in what you have in ur life-contentment
i can suggest u a doctor(s) too if u r in delhi or NCR
we get drained when we seek help outside ourselves or our homes
if u still don't know what to do write in detail n i'll ask my mom as she is the best in the world(hint:-go to ur mom)

Answer 5

not a pharmacist or clinical specialist myself, by technique of how, so take this with a grain of salt from someone who has said persons round him even as being dealt with for something else himself (upload) do not burst off the Zoloft without something else in that is position, yet see in case your clinical specialist would evaluate Welbutrin (m?) particularly. it really is a quite stimulating anti-depressant that some locate more effective perfect outcomes with.

Answer 6

sounds like panic attacks or depression. xanax and wellbutrin might help, along with some lifestyle changes and therapy.
