> Hi all,
> So I started 25 mg of Zoloft about a week and a half ago.
> 1st week: started to come out of depression, little addition of energy, little less anxiety
> 2nd week: upped to 50 mg and after a couple days, anxiety increased a lot.
> I'm still not where I want to be with the depression, so I was wondering if the increased anxiety I am getting is a "startup symptom" ? Has anyone had this experience, will it go away? I don't talk to the doctor for another couple days.
> Thanks everyone!******************
the first two weeks i took zoloft the anxiety was so bad i almost couldnt stand it. i couldnt eat and was beyond anxious/afraid-feeling. After about two weeks - voila! that went away and i never felt better. No antidepressant ever made me feel that well, but had I not been desperate for antidepressants to work I would have stopped taking it. I would take xanax with it the first two weeks if i had to do it again. good luck - you are almost to the good part
