What about a banana a day plus this big potassium pill she said I have to take everyday? I’m worried that will be too much because I’m not pregnant anymore and I’m not a frequent flier in the restroom anymore since my panic attacks have calmed. I mean I guess I could have some kind of potassium...

All she said was “some people just get low potassium” and I asked her why and she just kind of shrugged her shoulders....so I don’t know if she is keeping something from me because it’s not too big of a deal but she doesn’t want to get me worked up or I dunno. She’s a really nice doctor and i’d...

I know it’s their job to be thorough and I remind myself of that when I start to worry about my health. My main issue right now is my doctor put me on a potassium vitamin...my potassium was the only thing wrong with my labs...it was at 3.2 and I guess the lowest level that’s safe is 3.6...I just...

Well it seems you are on the right track! Isn’t it so crazy how we know our brain is playing tricks on us, yet we still succumb to the anxiety. My therapist tells me to actually tell myself things like “this isn’t real” so I basically battle my brain all day. Sometimes it works. I’m not quite to...

I hope so. Since I’ve had this postpartum anxiety/OCD I focus so hard on my breathing I find myself holding my breath sometimes. It scares me so I’m actually afraid to go to sleep. I make my husband check on me to make sure I’m still breathing. I know it’s the anxiety but it’s like I can’t help...

Not numbness and tingling in my chest but I get that on my forehead...it’s strange and I think it’s from the Zoloft

Yes I’ve had a wellness checkup and they did labs and what not but for the life of me I can’t just accept that and I still think “maybe they missed something” it’s the worst because then i end up calling the doctor or everyone I know asking “is this normal” and then I feel like they get annoyed...

I live in a very small town and my therapist says she’s never dealt with a postpartum anxiety patient so it’s trial and error for us both I guess. I want to get into yoga or something. Right now it just feels like when I start something my kids need me or the baby needs me so I find I spend most...

Yes! Like if I get into certain positions I can hear my heart or feel it making a squishy sound. My doctor didn’t seem concerned and I’ve had a check up so I guess I shouldn’t worry. Also she said when I’m breathing out maybe it’s raspy because I used to smoke and since I quit the stuff in my...

UPDATE: Thanks for your response! So I’m on week 5 of being on Zoloft. I’m currently at 100mg. Once I increased to 100 I felt like myself for about a week. No panic in the morning. Still taking my Ativan .50mg at night to sleep but things were going well. And then........I went to look at our...

sooooo a couple of weeks ago I started struggling very bad with postpartum anxiety/OCD. My doctor put me on 25mg of Zoloft and then bumped it up to 50mg 3 days later. Today is two weeks total that I’ve been on it....my anxiety has subsided a little bit but it seems every time I get in a...

Well that was a terrible night. My doctor told me my anxiety could get worse before it gets better so I’m trying to hang in there. I think I stayed up way too late last night and then adding the Ativan to the mix was just a disaster. I came to visit my parents for the weekend and my bedroom was...

im on day 3 of Zoloft 25mg...I took .50 Ativan around 10pm to help me sleep. It’s now almost 2am and I’m having bad problems. My breathing is very shallow. My mouth is really dry. I feel like I’m going to suffocate but my body is so tired when I lay my head down on the pillow I start to doze off...

Every once in a while I’ll be laying down and I’ll feel like this low vibration in my chest. When I move it goes away and it’s not only if I’m breathing in it’s just like a weird sensation. Doesn’t hurt doesn’t cause problems but drives my anxiety thru the roof. It’s not near my heart just kinda...

soooo after attempting to battle the postpartum anxiety monster on my own I finally decided to take the Zoloft. I think the decision came after one night I was sitting up feeling my head and swore up and down the back of my head was swollen on both sides kinda behind my ear...I made my fiancé...

What kind of medication did they put you on? I was just prescribed Zoloft and I’m supposed to pick it up today but I’m so scared because I’ve heard about some bad side effects....they believe I have postpartum depression/anxiety. I constantly cry and think I’m going to die like all day...

Thank you for sharing that because I have the exact same fears. I hear about people getting problems and then I think I have them. I finally decided to talk to my mom about this and it turns out she has had some of the same issues and anxiety runs in my family. I made the decision today to make...

I have and I guess they aren’t sure if I have it because I have anxiety anyways. I just haven’t had anxiety this bad ever in my life. Like all day one hour I’ll be fine...next hour I’m pacing around because I think I’ve got skin cancer...then I’m fine...then I start crying because I think about...

so here I am. Up late again thinking about what strain of cancer I have. I can’t take this anymore...I’m prescribed .50mg lorazepam (small dose due to breastfeeding) and I’m afraid to take it because I feel like it will poison my body in the long run...my kids are asleep and I so badly wish I...

Thank you thank you! I feel like a big weight has been lifted. Maybe I’ll actually get some sleep tonight. They did a pap at my 6 week check and said they would call if something was wrong...they never called but I have a hard time trusting them because my son was born with the sickle cell trait...
