5 weeks on Zoloft. Question about anxiety!

Treatment and medication
1

Hello fellow members 

I am currently on week 5 of 50 mg (Zoloft). Although I am definitely seeing an improvement and each week is getting better I still am experiencing anxiety/anxious feeling around the same time every morning. I wake up about 6 am and 10 min later I start to feel the nervousness and knots in my stomach. It’s not as bad as it was 3 weeks ago but it is still bothersome. I try to clean and mediate to take my mind off of it.

My question is: Is anxiety still common to occur at this point in the process? I’m hoping to get some reassurance. 

Thank you all

Hi Jenna, yes it's common, you're at week 5 so normally takes 6 weeks sometimes 7 for the medicine to kick in...I'm familiar with those early hours.. :-)

Hi dan 

Thank you so much for the reassurance! I was wondering why I still felt this way. I hate feeling anxious because then I have no appetite and hardly eat. For some reason it goes away later in the evening and I can eat whatever I want. Lol. I just need to wait another week or 2 smile
