Been on Zoloft for 6.5 wks with no improvement- can it still work
Posted , 4 users are following.
So, I'm feeling extremely discouraged after seeing almost no improvement (still very socially anxious and low feeling) after taking Zoloft for 6.5 weeks now. I'm starting to lose hope that Zoloft will work for me at all because it's only 11 more days until I reach the end of the 8 wk period and I doubt that I will see a major change in my mood during that short amount of time.
Has anyone seen late improvement from Sertraline after not feeling any relief prior??
I really don't want to give up and try a different drug yet because it's been a long and hard battle with this one... And I know from personal experience that it really does help. But if things aren't going to get better, then I don't want to put myself through additional anxiety.
Also, I'm on 200 mg and have been for 12 days now.
Thanks in advance!!

I'm nearly on 14 weeks and I've had improvement here and there but today I cried so much, my eyes are puffy. I've heard from a lot of people that it has taken them anywhere from 8-12 weeks, so I would suggest to hang in there.

I'm sorry to hear that! I feel like sometimes we have to go through mini valleys in order to reach a place where we feel okay. But thanks for your input! Will do
