Struggling with Anxiety Medication

My anxiety has ramped up the last couple of months. I started zoloft I think 4 or 5 weeks ago. I thought it was getting better then the past couple of days it seems to be coming back. Do I just keep trying to wait this medication out?

Maybe ask your doctor about adjusting your dosage. I had to change mine three times before I got it right.

My anxiety has been horrible lately too! I have never tried zoloft, but I have tried lorazapam and it worked for a week and then stopped, from what I have learned you have to continually up the dosage as your body gets used to it, once I learned that I ended up just stopping and trying other methods to get control of the anxiety. But definitely speak with your doctor about it, you may need a higher dose.

I would speak with your doctor just to be sure!
