Well, my Dad is in good spirits and we'll see what the doctor's plan to do. The worst part is he can't eat after midnight and they won't take him until noon....
The good thing is I got the Netflix account started on his iPad so he's going through Season 2 of The Walking Dead, which is at least keeping him entertained....
Feeling stressed because I still can't think of a topic for my persuasive speech, and the essay portion is due Friday D:
Well, I finally saw a psychiatrist and was prescribed Zoloft, but it's not helping my anxiety, I feel it's making it worse and it's been giving me thoughts like suicide. I think I'm going to stop taking this stuff. I want to tell the psychiatrist, but I'm afraid if I do this place will either kick me out or put me on suicide watch, both which won't help me at all.
I'm thinking about just not taking the prescribed pills anymore. I'll still have bad anxiety, but I won't be thinking bad thoughts like suicide.
They need to know the side effects of Zoloft. It affects everyone differently. Tell your psychiatrist that you stopped taking it because you didn't like how you felt. Makes you think of things you don't care to think about, without having to go into specific details. See if they can prescribe something else.

Tell them anyway. They won't kick you out or put you on suicide watch. I don't know how long you've been taking the zoloft as sometimes it takes 2-3 weeks for it to really take hold BUT if you are feeling this bad already- talk to them..they'll be happy to work with you and change your meds.
Sometimes it takes a while to find the right med(s).
I've been on it a few days and it isn't taking any anxiety away, it's making it worse and giving me bad thoughts.

Just call the psych doc n let them know its one of bad side effects
