"it is 2012 jan. and i have been battling depression and anxiety for the last 5 months, i was managing it up until 8 weeks ago. i started taking remeron (30mg)for 7.5 weeks and it did not help at all, when i upped the dosage the nightmares were so bad i had to stop immediately. now i am on day 2 of zoloft. day 1 was fine i was laughing and felt so good, day 2 i took the medicine at 9:30pm went to bed at 10:30pm and woke up in at 1:30 am with my heart beating so fast, and a nervous wreck. it took hours before i could go to bed even with my 1.5mg of ativan.  i just bought a light therapy machine and am also using that trying to combat this. i&#039;m really nervous about the next couple of days on zoloft after my night of panic and deep anxiety."
