Any Zoloft advice??????????????

Hello again,

It has been quite sometime since I posted. I would really love to hear your thoughts/experience w/ Zoloft. I seem to be on this cycle of doing great and than my anxiety creeps back up full force.

I started on 50mg (after the initial 25 starter pack) - worked great for some time - slowly it stopped working. My dr. upped me to 100 mg. I have been ok for a few months but now I feel like I am just as anxious if not worse than I was to begin with! I have been breaking off all my nails - out of anxiety I am sure - and I just seem to be freaking out at the drop of a pin. That had totally gone away!!!!!!!!! Do I need a higher dosage? That freaks me out too. Has anyone else had this happen when it worked and than stopped?

Thanks SO much!
Molly

WB, Molly! I have never been on zoloft. However, for me, my meds only worked for about 3 years, then I was started on a new one. It does seem to take a *trial & error* process. If you're uncomfortable & not functioning the way you want, then it may be time for a *tune-up.* Most of us will agree that NO med takes away anxiety totally. Meds are just a tool. Learning new ways to reduce the stress, live a balanced life & new coping techniques works best. GL&GBU! (((hugs))) jan
