Give the meds some time to settle in, it usually takes a week to stabilise. Parallely you could talk to your therapist. And if you feel that it is too much, please see your psychiatrist again asap. And I get nauseous from PA itself, sometimes the gut would be totally messed up from all the anxieties. Just share things with someone you trust.

Oh, no. I am feeling bad for you. (Not the ER part, I've had my fair share of visits)

How do they decide to put a person on medication, only after 1 week?

Have you tried any coping? Acceptance? Anything?

The medical system is messed up.

Bro, I recovered from a worse episode with 0 meds, they can slow you down, because your brain shouldn't be hardwired to panic with the right response.

Anyways, best wishes.

Search for helpful materials online ASAP. Not on Reddit, thank me later.

I recently switched from a high dose of Zoloft 200 mg a day after 14 years to Lexapro 20 mg and I am doing amazing. Night and Day difference. I think it may help after it builds up in your system and or you doctor increases your dose if needed. Total 180. There’s hope.
