I have panic disorder. Got off pristiq because it made me gain a lot of weight. It did help my anxiety a lot though. Anyway I am now on 25 mg of zoloft for two weeks. Still getting daily anxiety attacks and I feel restless too. Has 25mg worked for anyone or is that too low a dose? The only thing saving me is my ativan. I need some positive feedback.

It's hard to say because everyone is so different... I say give it the full 4 weeks and if you feel it's not helping you then call your Dr.
Good luck and let us know how you are doing

thanks for the reply

zoloft has been a godsend for me, but 25 mg is a pretty low dose, i think. i was started at 50 mg.

I think I was on 150mg of Zoloft, it helped me the first time around, the second time around it made me either more anxious or depressed, I didn't tolerate it well the second tome around, but everyone is different

Heavensent, did you continue with the Zoloft, 150mg. or did you try something else ? For the past few years, I've been taking Zoloft 100mg./day ... about a month ago my doctor upped the dosage to 125mg./day. I also got new glasses (with progressive lenses) around this time ... can you say anxiety much !!!!

I have been on and off Zoloft for awhile.

Hi. I am going through the same as I had been on 50 mg for 15 years, stopped cold turkey and now restarting. Anxiety is almost constant. I feel horrible. It’s been two weeks almost: hoping it starts working soon

Hi Katie,
How are you doing?

Hi coach Chris,

Not too well. It’s been a daily struggle with panic attacks and body symptoms and then the scary obsessive thoughts came back from two years ago. I am struggling. On cd 1 still.
