Can anyone tell me when you start counting weeks. Is if from when you started Zoloft or when your last dose was increased? Anybody know. 

Thanks

    Start from your first doze mine as an example 1 week on 25 mg next 2 weeks on 50mg then up too 100mg after so on the third week you should be on 100mg tab per day and if you are as lucky as me after 6 to 7 weeks from the start day there will be a huge difference all my anxiety went all of a sudden no more missing parties going out socialising it’s over a year now on 100mg this drug gave me my life back.Must say the first few weeks are not easy you will still be hiding in the corner and hating crowds of people making excuses to be on your own but stick with it in the end you will be back to yourself Good luck

    Thanks Lizzie. So I thought I was on week three but really I am on week 8. As I went from 25 mg too 150 mg in this time frame. Still feeling anxious. Hope it starts working soon
