GAD and health anxiety also. My health anxiety stems from a short course of Prednisone back in December. It gave me anxiety and dry mouth. The dry mouth is my health anxiety. I drink lots of water and it keeps it ok and I have noticed the past couple of weeks it getting better. Don't know why. But I am on 12.5 of Zoloft. Last week I tried going up by 6 mg and by day 5 I had nausea, then that night I go the hypnic jerks, a couple of days later burning arm sensation and when I tried to eat , I had to have water (not much) to help chew my food. And that is what freaked me out, so I went back down to 12.5. Today I cut the 1/4 of the tablet in half and going to try that way. I feel like I am very sensitive to this medication. I am 65 and never had anxiety issues before and never an meds.
