Trying Anti-Anxiety Meds: My Experience So Far

Zoloft helps me. I take two pills or supposed to. I'm better about my first pill since I'm reminded at work and have food. The second one normally gets forgotten about. Tired and dizzy are two of my listed side effects ,so I normally avoid that last pill if I can help it. I have noticed it helps me sleep.

I have alarms at 4 different times every day for all of my meds and it’s the only way I can remember to take them. It definitely helps! Also for meds that tend to make you tired, I take them about 30 minutes to an hour before bed. That way I can sleep off most or all of the tiredness and be up in time for work. Eating with them may also help with side effects for some meds

i have trouble with that as well. i hated taking new medication solely bc of all the side effects, and my bad memory. it's best to give it a try when you remember it, set an alarm if you have to, and note down anything you feel that's happening after you took it.
