going from 100mg of Zoloft back up to 150mg Zoloft

I was on 150mg of Zoloft for about 2 years. I Tried to ween off and was down to about 50mg every couple days and my anxity can back so I went back up to 100mg daily then back to 150mg daily. I have been on it now back up to 150mg for almost 2 weeks now and have not seen any change. How long should it take before it kicks in??
Or do I need to go back to Dr's and have him up it? Did I screw it up by trying to ween of and now Zoloft wont work for me anymore??
Thank you,

Are you sure your just not getting resistant to Zoloft?

I got three years from Zoloft at 200Mgs a day. After that I had to switch meds because it pooped out on me. Zoloft is notorious for that kind of thing. It works for a few years and then craps out.

Give it a little longer if it doesn't seem to be helping talk to your doctor maybe its time to switch to a different medicine.  I have been on SSRI's for years to see little to no change in my anxiety. Now my doctor is trying tricyclics and they seem to be doing the trick. They are a different and older class of anti depressants.

Zoloft was the worst of the SSRI's I took. It requires increases of dosage so much it seems and the side effects are not worth it. For once I laugh and feel extremely excited about life now that I am not on Zoloft

Good luck finding what makes you feel better!

HEy

Im actually going through the exact same thing, I weaned off the Effexor and my depression snuck up on me again, so I went back on my usual dose, but its like im taking sugar pills now bc they did not become effective like before. I know I must have felt well enough to STOP taking them, but panicked when I felt like **** again...still I dont understand? My doctor increased my dose today so Im gonna give it a try...see what happens..if not then we both need to switch..keep me updated
