    Hi, I would say maybe a dose increase could be needed, I found in the past its only when you get your correct dose for your body you get longer term better. Best ask your gp. But as you say, could be a blip, see how ya do rest of week. Good luck 😊

    1 hang in there. I'm on this for a little over a year. My story is very long but I waited a long long long time to take medicine. I tried one that didn't work but I knew I had to give something else a chance. It took a good six or seven months for me to feel better but the Zoloft has saved my life. I do have breakthrough days, I am a woman, so during that time of month my anxiety is a bit High. But I am able to drive and I wasn't for 2 years. Be patient with the ups and downs none of it will last forever.
