Worried about taking my meds again
(22M) I was diagnosed with panic disorder back in 2024 and was put on Zoloft to treat it and it worked. 7 months ago I took myself off the Zoloft because I thought I didn’t need it anymore and I don’t love medication. I recently had a bad reaction to weed and gave me a panic attack for the first time in a long time. Now I’ve had recent anxiety and small panic nothing major the past couple of days.
I went to my psych who’s a new doctor not the one who originally prescribed me and he told me to go back on the Zoloft. Ive struggled with GAD and OCD as well and now have completely convinced myself the Zoloft is bad for me and is going to make the panic so much worse.
Looking for some words of encouragement to go back on the medication. Luckily this doctor gave me a prescription for Xanax which knowing that it’s there has curbed the panic attacks. Just down on myself is all.
