I have started taking Zoloft 50 mg two weeks ago. I started taking 25 mg for the first week and now i'm taking 50 mg. I'm kinda worried because I don't see changes yet, I have noticed a bit of less anxiety when I wake up because i'm taking Zoloft at night. I have had almost two panic attacks on the first week of taking Zoloft coming out of the store and getting into the car which I think it's more related to my anxiety caused by stress. i haven't gone to a store in a week because i'm afraid of getting a panic attack since i'm feeling vulnerable. I have a similar episode in 2015 where I didn't want to go out and was put on Prozac, which it help a lot until it stopped working on February of this year and my psych switched me to Venlafaxine which I didn't wanted it to take it from the beginning. Sorry for the long rant. How long does it take Zoloft to work for anxiety/ Panic?

My experience with Zoloft was that with 4 days I experienced a lessening of symptoms. In fact, for a few days I felt really great! After that things settled into just feeling better than I had without Zoloft.
However, I cannot recall what the optimal dose of Zoloft is. Is there room for you to increase the dose? __________________ |

I have heard sometimes antidepressants can take 4-6 weeks to get the full effect. Also keep in mind this varies person to person and everyone's experiences will slightly differ. I see it's been about a month since you originally posted. Are you feeling any better now? I hope it works for you. Hang in there!

I have called my doctor this morning and my Zoloft dose has been increased to 100mg. He says it may take 3 weeks to work. I have seen my anxiety lessened, but not entirely. I’m nervous about going to the stores. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
