Hella friends smile 

i recently was trying a Prozac 20 mg & Effexor 75 mg combo for anxiety ... although it was very effective in the past but tried again for several weeks and I just felt more anxious . 

So so now trying 50 mg of Zoloft starting today ( after 3 days of 25mg) and just hanging on the 37.5 Effexor as Dr doesn't want to change too much at once. Looking for hopeful advice ans success stories w anxiety and Zoloft .... just praying for this to get better my friends smile 

much thanks!!!!

    Hi there! I had crippling anxiety that was constant. I could barely get out of bed or off my couch. I have been on 50mg for 8 weeks now. The first few weeks there were alot of side effects, but I can happily say that I almost feel back to my old self! I sleep better than I have in years and feel more confident, energetic and all round happier!

    I waited almost two years before I started taking anything. I didn't drive my car for almost two years also. I'll be honest some of the side effects from The Zoloft were a little rough, and it took me, about seven months before I felt almost normal. But I've been doing great and I'm able to drive. I'm not driving all over but I'm driving and I've been on the Zoloft for almost a year. I had constant 24/7 anxiety now that has subsided I wish you all the best hang in there just take one day at a time as hard as that is, and know that it can't last forever.
