Recomended medication or natural options
« on: August 10, 2006, 06:48:01 PM »
I would like to receive some suggestions on medication or preferably natural options for minimizing GAD. I have taken zoloft on three occasions this year and have done the job, but I am concern about side effects which I have experienced.

some minor tinnitus & short term memory effects, and first time weird dizziness this time that I stopped cold turkey,  plus all that I have read on the forums.

Any suggestions will be appreciated

Thanks

For me the only thing that really worked is Xanax. I had the same problem you had with Zoloft, but they eventually did go away. My problem with Zoloft was that it didn't work very well and I gained 40 lbs!

I was prescribed 0.5mg  (3)  times a day but I only took about 1-2 pill for the whole day. Never needed more than that. Also never got any withdrawal or side effects from it.
