gina this is my first time in this group. I just seen a t.v. show and i got on this site. About 2 years ago i started getting these wierd floaty feely type of attacks and then i started getting nervous and anxouis all the time. My mother who was sick with cancer was given 6 months to live. I went off work and took care of her till she passed away.I went back to work in feb. The doctor gave me ativan that helped I took it once a day. Mornings are my worst. two weeks ago i felt worse, more attacks, sad, anxious, crying all the time. So i went back to me doctor and he put me on zoloft this is my 11 day on it and I feel better. I was also scared to take meds, but I want to feel normal and get back to work. Ive taken the last 2 weeks off and am going back tuesday. I'm rambling on. I think this all stems from my mother death.I just thought I'd write to tell you this. I have had no side effects.I am 39 year old female, married with a little girl.
