I have been taking Zoloft for 3 years. Very effective at 50 mgs. Then last sept I got my anxiety back. Dr upped to 100. I was fine in a week. Now I have it back again. The dr upped to 150. Do you think it will work
Hey guys thank u for your fedback, I saw my DR. yesterday he increased my zoloft to 150mg, hopefully things get better....
Hi
I'm a medical student and I'm 25.
Don't worry about this at all, this usually happens with zoloft.
I'm on zoloft too btw 100 mg/day, this happened to me too when i was on 75 mg, so i increased it to 100 and everything is alright now
i think ur dr has to increase it to 150 mg or 175 mg max, and u'll refeel very good in a matter of week..........
THank you for the feedback :)
At about your age Zoloft pooped out on me after taking 200Mgs a day.
Happens all the time and Zoloft for some reason tends to do this to many people.
The fix for me was to Augment the Zoloft with Lithium. 600Mgs a day.
If that fails to produce a response then you need to dump the Zoloft for an SNRI. Effexor XR gave me 4 years of remission at 300Mgs a day.
Some switch to Cymbalta and some to Pristiq, but having tried them all I found Effexor to work the best.
I was on Zoloft for a very short time, however I have been on other AD in the same class. It is different for each person b/c each person can metabolize medication at it's on rate. The doc may increase dosage, switch or add another AD to the current regiment. My guess is since you have had sucess on Zoloft, he will increase dosage.
Have you been through therapy? It can be very helpful with the medication. You may want to try this as well. Thanks, Jude
