When I first saw my doc, he prescribed Zoloft and Xanax. I felt more anxious than ever. The biggest problem for me (I stress "for me" because we all react differently) was loss of appetite. The reason I say this is growing up I was always a slim kid. In the past 2 years I had finally filled out phsysically and I did not want to lose weight-so I was all set with the Zoloft. Tried the Xanax alone-it worked well for the anxiety, but for some reason, I would break out in hives when I would exercise, tanning, housework, etc. That led me to Klonopin-and its been "all good" ever since. You see, there has never been any degree of depression in my instance-it has always been basically an inability for my mind and body to relax. Textbook anxiety/occasional panic.
Take care
Andy
