genetic testing and more sertraline/zoloft to combat anxiety/ocd

Oh wow, you and I sound exactly alike. I just recently had that same genetic testing done, and also am working up on the Zoloft dosage. Currently I am taking 175mg on my way to 200mg.....and then most likely 300mg max. I just went to the psych doctor this week. I started only on 25mg of Zoloft to get adjusted to it.

So far I have zero improvement. Very frustrating. This OCD and anxiety completely and totally rule my life, and I need some relief, but nothing helps as of yet. I'm beyond thinking I will ever get over this horrible disorder.

s.c.
thanks, i am cautiously optimistic, cant wait to see the test results should be interesting

Lha-
we will learn to live again. be kind to yourself and believe in the process and progress you have made. if there is absolutely nothing you can think of, be proud of the fact that you are alive and breathing today. you made it through yesterday, the past week, month and years. it was not easy, but it did not kill you like it so often feels like it would. you are strong, and brave to face each day, and don't give up hope, it will get better.

Yes, everything you say is what I should be telling myself, but I keep bringing the negative thoughts back over & over again even after trying to repeat positive words to myself.

This weekend is especially bad as I have two of my sons traveling, and no matter how hard I try, I cannot get my mind off the OCD thoughts about germs, accidents, etc., etc.

I shall survive, but will be in a state of panic all week most likely.
