I’ve been on Zoloft for a couple months now and I absolutely love it. It has changed my life. I started on 25mg for 2 weeks then up to 50mg. I had a few side effects (insomnia, anxiety) but only for 24 hours. Since being on 50mg I feel amazing, depression is almost totally gone, my sex drive is actually markedly increased and I’ve lost a bit of weight. Before I started, I was most worried about loss of sex drive and weight gain but luckily so far those have actually gone in a good direction.
The only issue is my anxiety is still there even though it’s worked wonders on my depression. My GP said anxiety requires a higher dose, and suggested I go up to 100mg. Has anyone experienced a complete change of symptoms when increasing dose? Or is it more likely that I might just experience heightened amounts of the side effects I currently have? I’m hesitant to mess with it since I feel so good, but also don’t want to leave potential treatment unexplored if it helps my anxiety. Thanks for any advice or input!
