Zoloft once help me when i was in a big trouble i can't sleep or stay in one place i walk up and down. And my doctor prescibe me Zoloft and 2 mg Rivotril(kolonopin). And it helps me i calm down and i can take my final exam at the university. Then i feel good and i think i dont need my Zoloft. It was a big mistake i take it down not gradually just at the moment. I take the Rivotril and i was fine.  But i feel crap again and i go back  Zoloft than i change for citalopram and then to escitalopram and then to paroxetin and now again on zoloft sertraline because the others don't work and my last hope is that will help me again . I am at the 8th week  begining. I felt good on the first week but then comes the side effects headache nause and so on.  And since then I think i feel better and lessen anexiety but every day is different one day i feel okay in the morning and have some  really bad attack along the day and i need kolonopin. One day i want to cry because my chest tight and hightened pulse   i take concor cor and go away and come back go away and come back and go away in  minutes or hours i don't have a clear day. I had insomnia but now i can sleep and i can talk to people and i can travel with train or bus i can go to the shops i can make my lunch. But it is so fustrating one day i can be okay in the morning and the other day not my mood doesn't swings just my anexiety but it is horrible I think i would be okay and then come an attack or i feel I can't breath normal or something with the anexiety and then i think i never gonna be okay but i think when i can go out without any symtomp i think i gonna be okay or i just can read and concetrate about a newspaper and a tv show for some minute or half hour and then not and then aigan i feel good and i think positive.

      Hi balogh sorry to hear what you are going through it know it's very frustrating waiting for medication to work, have you been on the same dosage through the 8 weeks? If yes maybe asking your doctor to up it and ask if you could get some therapy for your anxiety. I know on sertraline it takes a while for medication to work please bare with it and hopefully things will get better x

      Why don't you wait a couple of more weeks to see if there is any improvement, if not see your gp and she might up you on your dosage...I know you will have to go through side effects again but it can't be as bad when you first started on them because your body will be used to the sertraline. I am still waiting for my sertraline to work for me....we will see light at the end of the tunnel x x
