Zoloft 100 to 150
Posted , 6 users are following.
Had about 6weeks which weren't bad, not 100%, on 100mg.. PDoc agreed to go to 150mg. The not bad feeling on 100mg has disappeared and I now feel worse, depressed with anxiety. The 150mg I thought would bring me back to the old me, but it is not working. Going to PDoc to discuss whether to just stay on 150mg or not. How can this be - starting to feel better, upping it and going backwards. I hate to think the doctor would suggest going on something else as already have tried Lamotrigine, Latuda, Effexor without any luck.

Yes, I have decided to talk to myself here. I am feeling really bad with Zoloft - presently 100mg. I could not be sadder and when you feel like that it shows on your face. It is hard to "buck up", in fact it is hard to do anything. Relief comes in the form of occasional sleep. I do not see my PDoc until October 31 (Halloween, now appropriate)! If we go off Zoloft that will take a couple of weeks, followed by a number of weeks? on something else. Will it work? Who knows. I apologize for being so negative but it has been a tough slug with other antidepressants that did nothing. I guess I will cling to the fact that when I first went to 100mg, the light bulb turned on a bit. You see I went past 100 to 150 and am now going back to 100. Can't find alot of info on these sites about giving a dose another chance.
I notice alot of others suffer from anxiety or panic attacks - I do not. I just have anxiety with me all day and it is about anything and everything. Thoughts are so unreal, I know I should know better but I feel like I have an imbalance of seratonin or whatever, and I can't change it.
How can inanimate objects set you off - my own house, my own backyard. I also fear being alone and try to keep busy, but am not comfortable even when my husband has to go out. Small home tasks and insurmountable.
If the Zoloft would only do what it has to do - which is give me some drive and self confidence and take the negativity and fear/sadness from my brain! I know it is only a crutch, but at this rate, the crutch is broken.

I hope you're doing better now after 4 years xxxx You sound just like me but I do have the odd panic attack out of anxiety, heart thumps and breathing gets as if I've been running, I feel I have some sort of deficiency. Were you better eventually after you increased? I'm on Sertraline 100, but have increased this morning by cutting a 50 in half, hoping to ease in gradually. Best Wishes. xxx
