In reply to zoloft for phobia, posted by gjacks on December 8, 2003, at 0:50:13
> hey, i was wondering if anyone on here has ever used zoloft for phobias. i have blood injection injury phobia. i am seeing a pyschiatrist. he thought that i should use zoloft and xanax combined. i take xanax as needed, which has worked great for me. i have not had one panic attack since staring xanax. but it doesnt help much with the phobia. its not like i can avoid the situation since i am majoring in exercise science and nutrition. so we deal with alot of blood. kind of ironinc, the career i want to do the rest of my life is the one thing that i am terrified of. any advice on zoloft for phobias would be great. thanks everyone.
I don't have this problem, but the zoloft could only help. I can say this, I use to have a fear that I might have a fear of blood :) If that makes any sense? So I would be afraid to watch, and if I would, I'd start feeling panicky. While I was on Klonopin the fear magically disappeared. I don't know if that would help you or not, since you don't seem to get much relief from Xanax. It might be worth a shot, though.
Jon :)
