i used to take zoloft 100 mg since november 2015 and i weaned myself off and stopped completly for 2 months so it hit me again just a silly thought panicked me and i started the same anixiety circle

so my doc put me back on 50 for 2 weeks since october 30 and back on 100 for 6 days now .

i have a fear feeling like im scared or as if someone scared you and this happens when i wake up as soon as i open my eyes and somtimes before bed .

my question is : will zoloft work again ?

when will i feel relief and calm and back to normal ,

i need reassurance im really scared .

thanks .

    Hello Dodo, sorry to hear that u r having a hard time with it. I have been on Zoloft for 10 months . Before I started this med I also had the problem with panic when I wroke up, even if it was for 10 minute nap. I really don't see myself quitting this med. Right now this is the best i felt for along time. so for the question of whether it will work again, I couldn't tell you. I really dont see why it won't. I'm sure others on this forum can answer this question. Hope u start feeling better soon. 🤶

      thanks for your response , i regret so much stopping this med as it was working great for a good year and a half .

      i have all the same feelings and symptoms that made me start the med in the first place . i do what i have to do as a mom of 4 kids but im not enjoying anything i used to enjoy .

      i hope it works as it did last time .

      Try not to get stressed out about if its going to work. The more u worry about it the harder it is. I know that it is almost impossible to do it but try. Like I said in my last post to u that I don't see why it wouldn't work. Have u talked to ur Doctor about giving u something to help with the hard times, my doctor gave me ativan and it worked wonders when I thought I would never feel good again. I hope u start feeling better soon.
