Re: Does zoloft work for anxiety? - September 15th 2016, 03:05 AM

Hi there,

Medication tends to be beneficial to most people. However, some medications work for some people and different ones work for other people. So if Zoloft works for someone, it might not necessarily work for you. I have been on about 20 different medications/medication combinations (I'm Bipolar). All you can really do is hope that it does work for you.

Another thing, some medications take four weeks for you to start feeling the full effect of the medication. I recently had a medication go from 10 mg-40 mg each week for 4 weeks. I only had a little bit of side effects since I started at such a low dose. I'm hoping that's the case for you. Side effects tend to suck.

I really hope that Zoloft works for you. I know how stressful having anxiety that is so bad that you can't attend school/work. Just keep your chin up and have faith that you will find the right medication that helps you.

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can do anything else for you.
