Its been 5 days and still anxious

[poz7]

I have been on zoloft now for five days and I still am having episodes of panic, is this normal?

Some medicines aren't as effective if you go off and on them.  Also, most medications that work on your brain take more than a few days before working their best.  Hang in there.  Best of luck with the baby.

It usually works quick for me, but I am also pregnant and going through this hell. Thank you for your response

i had the same problem with zoloft. it took like almost 3wks on it to make the anxiety feel go away then i had no emotion and just felt like a zombie and was upped on my zoloft from 50 to 75mg and felt good for like 4wks then it was back to the same ol flat feeling and it made me break out in a rash. i just switched to cymbalta and it has only been 6 days and i feel sooo good. didn't have any of those anxiety issues when i switched no side effects what so ever. i feel great.  sometimes zoloft is known for making the anxiety worse before it gets better. i would contact your doctor and just tell them you feel worse.
