For almost 10 years now it has been extremely hard for me to go out to get together or sit at a full table with family or friends I feel jittery and nervous anxious for no reason I feel awkward and a lot of pressure. I haven't from morning till night single day and night. Sometimes I could talk to people but my anxiety is still there and I start to feel pressure immediately I always have a worried feeling it is awkward when I am around people because my anxiety kicks in. But it's not just with people I get extreme anxiety even when I am alone. I was wondering by some of the info that I gave if you think Zoloft my help with anxiety?

Hi. I feel little of the same. I got zoloft sertraline - on my 2 week. Still can't feel any changes. I get an inner unrest while outside my home. Together with many people, family. My body would just not relax. I also think it anxiety. We will see what happens. -- now been on ssri 5 weeks, still can't feel anything.

I started zoloft many months ago from 50 mg and I actually saw results after some weeks .. I could talk to people without even thinking about it . I made the mistake to increase to 100 - 150 mg which actually about a week after i stopped it I had suicidal thoughts with alcohol. I have stopped zoloft about 4 months and i will start it again about 50 mg and will try to not increase my dosage this time and of course without alcohol ..hoping for better results.

I have anxiety and agoraphobia. I've been taking 25mg sertraline for 2 months now. I am also pregnant. It has been working fairly well for me. Although my midwife keeps wanting to up my dose because "25 isn't a therapeutic dose". I tried taking a 50mg dose and I had severe dizziness to where I couldn't move my eyeballs, it was extremely scary for me. I am a stay at home mom to two toddlers and can't take care of them if I'm laid up on the couch unable to move for fear of passing out. I think it was too high of a dose for my extremely sensitive body. Do you think I should stick with the 25mg?

Hello, doc! Thanks for such a good info. I work on the medical field and I am currently on Wellbutrin XL 300 mg daily for atypical depression or dysthymic disorder. I'm on It for years as monotherapy and it's doing great but recently I was prescribed 50 mg of sertraline daily for my subtle OCD. I was reluctant on getting to SSRI, such as Sertraline, because of my sex drive wich was already not that good , also because of the potential risk of seizures (considering I already take Bupropion) and drug interaction (bupropion seems to inhibit the CYP 2D6 ,the one who metabolizes sertraline). So, I talked to my doc and he insisted me to start on 25 mg per day of sertraline but uping It after one week to 50 mg daily , but I'm not confident about it. Do you think keeping on 25 mg is an innefective (too low) dosage, even considering that I'm also taking bupropion ?
@AnxietyBoss

The main problem with SSRIs is that it causes sexual dysfunction in many people who take it. And with the drug-drug interactions you mention, it will cause even more side effects. You may want to consider getting a second opinion from a psychiatrist at a university hospital. There are other treatments for 'subtle' OCD, such as CBT.

@@AnxietyBoss thank you, Boss. Anyways, do you think sexual dysfunction may appear with only 25 or 50 mg of sertraline? And Do you think the interactions I mentioned with CYP 2D6 are relevant in clinical practice or just a theoretical thing? If i want to keep on 25 mg of sertraline, do you think it's only almost like a "placebo" (too low dosage) or may display some real anti anxiety effect in long-term use?

Body weight can have an impact on the effectiveness of medication, but it is not the only factor that determines the appropriate dose of a medication. Other factors, such as liver and kidney function, overall health, and genetics, can also play a role. The dose of a medication like Zoloft (sertraline) is typically adjusted based on a patient's response to the medication and their individual medical needs. If you weigh more than 90kg and are finding that a dose of 50mg of Zoloft is not effective, it is important to speak with your doctor. They may consider adjusting the dose, switching to a different medication, or exploring alternative treatment options. It is not recommended to adjust your dose on your own, as changes to medication should only be made under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

I have mild anxiety that comes and go and lose interests n what I used to love doing stuff. My doctor believes I’m suffering some form of low depression and mild anxiety. I’m very easily stressed out which it can sometimes lead to anxiety episodes. So I have been researching heavily on this. I usually take CBD so would it help along with Zoloft or could cause interactions? I looked it up and there’s not a clear picture n Zoloft and cbd.

As this is a general educational channel, I cannot make recommendations on specific medication dosages. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as your doctor or psychiatrist, before adjusting your medication dosage. They can assess your individual situation and help you make an informed decision about whether to increase your dosage and monitor any potential side effects. It is also important to continue taking the medication as prescribed until advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.

Initially I had been prescribed fluoxetine, it caused a lot of side effects like sleep disturbance, drowsiness, blurry vision which made it very difficult for me to work on PC. Later after 4 weeks I was changed to sertraline 50 mg. Found lot of improvement overall, but the sleep disturbance still persists. Hardly I am able to sleep 2 hours in daytime and hardly 2 hours at nighttime with weird dreams. My doc asked me to experiment with different timings to take sertraline 50 mg. I tried taking in the morning, afternoon, evening, but nothing seems to be working. What would you suggest in such a situation? Please guide me.

AnxietyBoss My doctor never mentioned side effects when she prescribed me Zoloft I was mad at her for two years, but luckily the symptoms have passed. I personally know 3 people who went through what I did. SSRI's in my opinion should not be prescribed to sexually active males. Just my opinion. I'm not knocking SSRI's all round, I'm just giving a warning.

Hello sir, is there a long term effect for Zoloft? I was born in the Philippines and there they normally do not believe in mental health and stuff. Does this have unnatural effect later on in your life?

25mg daily is the standard starting dose for Zoloft. But anyone being prescribed an SSRI should be seeing their prescriber fairly often, given the side effects that may emerge. There are some risks to the infant with taking an SSRI while breastfeeding- your doctor should be telling you all this before prescribing...talk to your doctor immediately, or find a more competent one to help you...ridiculous that you don't get these questions answered, especially while you are breastfeeding. This is all on your doctor. Sorry, I don't want to rant, but I answer so many questions that are really the responsibility of the doctor, who gets paid for the services, while this channel is just for the public service.

Hi doc I’m from Australia. I am currently tapering Valium 10mg. I’m doing it slow, but I had a tolerance to it so it’s been pretty rough. I look back and I wondered why I took Valium in the first place? It was because of severe social anxiety. When I mean severe it’s pretty darn severe. I’m down to 2mg Valium, but I want to start Zoloft for my social anxiety. Do you think it’s ok that when I start Zoloft that I can bump up the Valium just for now until the Zoloft helps the social anxiety? I’ll talk to my doctor, but just wanted your opinion. Thanks.

Please get an evaluation from your family doctor to rule out any medical conditions, and a referral to a psychiatrist if the problems are mental distress- based.

i have general anxiety . At first my doctor prescribed olanzapine, which I hated, I couldn't tolerate it. now I am or sertraline 12,5 mg, makes me more anxious and very tired. I've like this for a month. I went to the doctor today and he told me to quit, but you've said it takes up to 6 to 8 weeks to work. I wonder if I should work it 2 more weeks..... Has anyone felt more anxious or very tired... do these symptms go away????

If it is making you more anxious, then follow your doctor's advice to discontinue the sertraline. You may need to be prescribed another SSRI.
