Increased anxiety
Hello I have been taking zoloft for the past 2weeks plus 3 days . The last 3 days I'm have been taking 375 mg . My question is I have keep myself very busy today but my anxiety is so high. I can ' t be taking xanax all day, when will my increase anxiety from this drug end?
WHen I increase my dose I always felt the effects for at least a week maybe a little less time.. Just keep telling yourself you can do this and do not dwell on it and let it control your life...
Finally heard from my dr. So glad that I can reach out to him He states that there is some increase in anxiety he said he is there if I need him but like you said I have push myself too. He also said I can increase my xanax hope that will help with some of my anxiety. I so grateful for my family and your support and someday I will look back and say I'm a new women.

There's a link to just ONE of your threads where you ask the same question.
At this point, you're just obsessively seeking reassurance, which is not helping you.
NO ONE can tell you when you'll start to feel better. Also, remember that a lot (most I would guess) of your anxiety probably isn't even attributed to the Zoloft, but rather your original anxiety. I hate to say it, but you've pretty much done everything that isn't advised. Like I told you, you're your own worst enemy. Yes, I know you've made efforts, but not consistently, and you stop trying because it's "too hard". Yes, it is hard...very much so, but you have to keep pushing.
In the VERY least, you need to limit your idle time (on the computer, for example) and get engaged in life. It's counterproductive for you for us to continue repeating the same things. It's only feeding into that obsessive thought process, and I don't want to attribute to that.
The more you continue to seek reassurance, the shorter lived your relief will be, and the worse you will feel when the anxiety surges again. You've started this process, it takes time, no other way around it. You can either choose to continue white knuckling it, or you can really dig your heels in and male
a concerted effort to try.....and not try like you have...REALLY really TRY.
