My teenage daughter has been suffering with low grade anxiety. The doctor felt it would be good to put her on meds to help her get through the end of high school.
First they tried Proxac, they said it takes 4 weeks to get into the system.
It's been such a hard 4 weeks. She was getting slightly depressed from it, and it totally curbed her appetite.
So the doc said skip this and let's move on to Zoloft.
Now she is working up on this meds. I don't know what on earth went on, but I have had an , crying girl for the last 2 weeks. She is so tired , I'm not sure if it's messing up her sleep.
Slowly getting worst.
How do I know she has to get used to and what is starting to be absurd already.
Forget all these meds, and I'll deal with the anxiety.
I don't think there is any other anti anxiety medication family left to try...
Any advice as the mother?

BTDT. Dr gave me Zoloft, I thought it was gonna kill me. I stopped taking it and then started Klonopin. It was life saving. I took it for the better part of 2 years and then weaned myself.
I know meds can take time to work and side effects are normal, but to a certain degree. Take cues from your daughter.

There are lots of other drug families to try! But what dosage did they start her at?
Also, did you start her on supplements?
