I Don't Know

I've been taking zoloft for about a year now. I've had my dosage upped twice (from 50mg, to 100mg, and now 150mg). But lately (there's been a big crisis at our house that is still sort of going on) i've been getting really depressed and my panic attacks have come back. Now my aunt is guilt tripping me because I was supposed to help her out this week, but I had a panic attack at her house and went home after only one day. This is making me even more sad. I don't know, I feel like it's wearing off. I've recently quit going to my therapist because she's a punk, and was placing blame on me for things that were not my fault. I didn't take my opinion seriously, but I told other people (not just friends) about my last visit with her, and they've all said that she shouldn't have done that and that she crossed a line. So now i'm sort of in limbo. I told my aunt just now, and she says she understands. Although she's still peeved because she lost sleep and an hour of work (she went in over an hour late, and her bosses weren't too happy).

Grozda- I am on zoloft as well - it takes about a month to fully kick in. If you have xanax, you might want to take that when you get an attack until the medicine takes effect.

Oatmealfairy - my mother had her dosage upped several times as well, and once it wasn't working for her anymore, her and her Dr. Switched her medicine and she is doing a lot better. I would definitly find a better therapist and start fresh with therapy...Don't let a bad therapist make you feel worse.
