[quote=Anonymous]Op, it is so wonderful that you are looking for ways to help your daughter before it escalates to something potentially horrible happening.  Our DD was hospitalized earlier this year for strong depression and anxiety, suicidal thoughts. Medication has changed her life.  As it did for me when I started taking it 5
years ago.  She is currently on 75mg of Zoloft a day. SSRI’s are great because they work well and aren’t as strong/side-effect inducing as some of the other families of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds.  The main negative with SSRI’s is the sexual side effect of it tending to block orgasms.  But that’s not an issue for our DD right now so Zoloft is working well.  I switched to Wellbutrin which has less sexual side effects, but it’s not as consistent for me as Zoloft in keeping breakthroughs of high stress and anxiety from happening.  The main goal is to have the highs and lows be in a usual range...she’d still have all the normal reactions to situations, just not at the extreme levels she’s feeling now.

Best of luck with your DD and please keep us posted![/quote]
