I've been on Zoloft for 5 years and recently went off of it because I felt really good about things. After being off of it for over a month I had a really bad panic attack while driving home from Pittsburgh. I was stuck in traffic and had a bout of diarrhea. I panicked all the way to the rest area and ended up sitting there for a few hours. After that the attacks came more frequently, especially when driving. As luck would have it I got a stomach flu the following week so that was another week of diarrhea and panic attacks. Now that the flu is over I've still been getting attacks daily. The doctor suggested that I got back on the Zoloft. I just worry about the anxiety it can cause going back on it and fear the list of side effects I read about, even though I was on it for years. Am I just being completely irrational?
