Depressed and Anxious for too long

Started on Sertraline 25mg on March 27th. On it for 8 days. Then at 50mg for 6 days, 75mg for 3 days, 50mg for 2 days, 100mg for two weeks, 125mg for 3 days and now I've been on 150mg for 9 days. I also take 50mg Trazadone at bedtime and 6mg Valium in the morning. The Valium doesn't seem to do anything for me. I've even tried 10mg and it didn't help. I am so anxious, nervous and depressed most of the time. I usually get relief in the evenings although I have had a few days when I feell better by 3pm and I had one day where I began to feel better by 10:00am. That was a rarety. I haven't had a good day like that in 6 months. Before Zoloft I was on Cipralex for 8 months and didn't do well. I was also taking Ativan between 0.5mg and 2mg per day. I think I had hit tolerance and I was getting extreme rebound anxiety every morning. Since I've been on Zoloft my morning are not great but much better than when I was on Cipralex. I'm calmer and not having panic attacks.I get to work and I immediately react to a bad email or call even if they are minor everyday work related issues. I used to llove my job and I have great coleugues that support me and many customers that are friends. I really have nothing to complain about except my anxiety and depression.

Is it going to get better? I my Zoloft history normal and do I have to wait a few more weeks?

U need to wait abt a month at a steady dose to see if its helping why the fast ramp up in dose? 50 or 100mg might work but ur not on a dose long enough to know in my experience with sert u dont feel much only slight improvements at wk 3-4 then it slowly improves it helps my depression b4 anxiety

Hi Weenett - I'm now on 175mg for the last 8 days. I haven't responded well on the lower doses and my doctor thinks I need to be on the higher dose for chronic anxiety. I will try to go 4 weeks before making another jump.

I feel really awful today! Breathing is terrible.

I get days where i feel like i struggle to breath never though of the sert doing that
