Hello again, need to see if anybody knows or can help me. I was on zoloft for 6 years and it worked really good. Got off of it back in October 2019. Around January I noticed that I was feeling extra moody and irritable so I decided to restart the zoloft. Started with 50mg and it immediately increased anxiety for about a week and then started to level off. After two weeks I increased to 75mg and now not only am I anxious again but I feel depressed as well, and I wasn't depressed or anxious when I started back. Is that supposed to happen? It's really scaring me. I'm not sure if I should continue the drug or go back down or stop. My husband thinks I need to continue. Has anyone experienced this before? I really need some answers and encouragement!!
