Should I increase Zoloft from 100 MG to 125MG

I've been on Zoloft for 8 weeks now, 4 on 50MG and 4 on 100MG. While I finally noticed some improvment in my anxiety symptoms during my 3rd week of 100MG, I still am not completely where I want to be in terms of being anxiety free.

I feel like I am about 90% better and if I had just a little more relief I would be back to my old self. My Dr. says to continue on at the 100MG but I dont see how this is accomplishing anything at this point as it feels like this is good as it's gonna get on 100MG.

Has anyone else increased their Zoloft just slightly to provide a little more relief?

Is it possible that the 100MG will continue to reduce my anxiety in the folowing weeks or is it done doing as much as its going to do for me?

Thanks

Id give it a few more weeks on 100mg before increasing, at least another 4 weeks. I'd be satisfied with 90% to be honest with you but understand you want to be your old self, that will come back with time.

Well I feel like I'm so close to the finish line and if I have to go through 2 more weeks of side effects on the increased dosage I would like to go ahead and get it over with.

How exactly would continuing on the same dose of 100mg provide anymore relief at this point? Shouldn't a month be as long as it would need to work to it's full capacity?
