Lulu..
Hopefully that is where I'm heading. Its been to many years suffering from panic attacks and avoiding social situations. I picture my wife and I becoming hermits in the woods. Going up to 75 mg of Zoloft in the next day or three or four. Already doing a little better on 50mg. The panic attacks have been less frequent and I am catching them early. Course I have yet to put myself in but one social situation My neices wedding and reception. And of course I had the panic attacks and only stayed just over an hour and a half. But I made it(wahoo).
Now I have another social event coming up at the end of August, Brothers anual picnic. Maybe this time I will do more then just sit in the same area around my direct family. Maybe I can talk to other this year. Going to try the atavan I guess.
My question is is what is a good dose to start with for a party like this, it last about 6-8 hours .Most times I last about two and have to leave. Its an over night thing but there is no way I will pull that off. But at 6-8 hours will I feel like sleeping after a couple hours of taking the medication?
