Hi All

I took Zoloft for 6 months last year with big success.

Unfortunately my anxiety is back and I started two days ago again....

May I ask if you had to stop and start again?

I just worry that I cannot be doing this every few years as the side effects are not fun.

I am trying to vision how my life will be and I so not know I'd this time round will have to stay for longer

Thanks!!!!
