Hello everyone
Yesterday marked 8 weeks on 50
Mg of Zoloft. And I’m still needing to take a xanax often to get me through as I still experience anxiety in the morning and during the day. I am able to function more than I was 8 weeks ago and do things but I still don’t feel like myself. My appetite comes and goes, mainly better during the evening. I’m wondering if I should stick to the 50 mg or a bit longer or increase to 75? I am just scared. Thank you .
I went on to 75mg and so glad I did. 50mg wasn't touching it but after 2 weeks on 75mg everything dropped into place. I hope it does for you too. After 8 weeks you have got all the side effects and benefits so far.
Hi jenna, sounds like you need to increase. I went up in 25s to 150 over a few months. You will know when youve reached the right dose for you as youll suddenly realise youve had no anxiety for a while. It really works, just takes time and unpleasant side effects til it clicks. Good luck x
Hi jenna324
I've been on a rollercoaster the last couple months with sertraline. My Dr increased my dose every 2 wks as I started very low at 12.5. I call my Dr and follow up whenever I feel I need to. I am now at 50mg and been feeling better aside from a minor setback. If you still aren't feeling yourself and you've been on 50mg for 8 wks you might want to call your Dr. I know how hard it is to increase but it's worth it if you're still not feeling yourself. I'm here if you need to talk ❤️❤️
It took me 10 weeks on 50mg to fell better now I'm ok still now on 12 weeks. I still have a few days where I don't feel as good but mainly if I have a cold or a bit run down . Maybe give it a week or 2 more before upping as side effects will come back in a higher dose

Are you going to stay at 50 or you want to up?
Staying on 50mg as anxiety is low and no panic attacks and it takes around 6 months to feel totally back to normal so I hear.
