So I felt better around week 4 after adding Abilify to my Zoloft but this week (week 5) I feel awful. I only drank one night this week and it was for my 23rd birthday. I am hoping this anxiety will subside after a couple of days...

I hate that I can't be a normal person in their 20's. I can't even have a mild night out without being an anxiety-ridden mess for a week afterwards. Just feeling hopeless right now. sad

      100mg a day Zoloft and 5mg a day Abilify. Increased recently and just added Abilify.

      When dose is increased the side effects will be there again so no wonder you feel bad for a week or 2. The benefit of zoloft after the increase will be around 10 to 14 days. And it will be gradually until it reached the full effect which around 6 to 8 weeks.

      For Abilify, the benefit of it will be in a week. And the full effect will be around 3 to 4 weeks.

      Hope that answers your question
