Hi Marc,
I'm not familiar with bedranol, but like any medication for anxiety/depression....it does take time to work. How long have you been on it?
I have been on Zoloft for 3 weeks now, (I have taken it on and off for 9 years) and still not feeling the full effects of it, both physically and mentally...but having said that, I am feeling alot better, and I know that its only a matter of time before I'm back to my old self again! Persevere with it Marc, you will get better....but if you feel its not working for you, ask your doctor if maybe this medication is not right for you! Often people try afew different ones before they find one that works for them. As for needing something to help with the mental part of it, your meds will help with that also!
Good luck
Patty

I would definately ask the doctor to try you on something else...the spaced out feeling is usually a side effect of the meds when you start taking them, but shouldn't last 10 months.
Good Luck
