hi everyone
i hope all is well
its my 48th day (almost 7 weeks) on zoloft
started out with 25 mg for 2 weeks
jumped to 50 mg for 2 weeks then 75 mg to 100 mgs.
after jumping to 100 mgs i felt terrible (anxiety and physical symptoms for 2 weeks)
suddenly felt better for two weeks after that and i could function i was happy that it started to work but now for the past couple of days the anxiety is sorta back and i hate it, its not bad enough to take a xanax but its there.
my question is, is this normal and should i wait it out till it settles ? is this the meds just trying to settle ?
thank you
Hi Aj, is this your first time on Serttraline as you seem to have increased the dosages fairly quickly. i would stick with 100mg for a while and let it settle. i jumped through dosages too soon and ended up on 200mg for 15 odd years. Sertraline worked really well for me but the same as you, i was desperate to get better. My advice would be to ride it out for a few weeks and if the anxiety is bearable but doesnt subside, go and see your Gp. BEST OF LUCK
it pooped out recently and the dreaded anxiety and insomnia returned. I can empathise with you as they have added 15mg Mirtzapine and i started to feel better and then anxiety came back but not as bad. i am trying to ride out before increasing to 30mg too soon to give it a chance to work
thanks Jon, ive been on zoloft now for a while just wondering when it will fully help. cause i am still anxious and still have ocd
