I hated zoloft, people close to me hated me when I took it. It changed my personality too much. I was always yawning on it and also It DID NOT help with the anxiety whatsoever! I took 125 mg.

I am only taking 12.5mg but it has helped me a lot. I noticed an improvement after about 4 weeks. But I know that is a super low dose. I think most people take at least 50mg. Maybe go up to 75mg for another month and see if that helps.

Good luck

I was on 100mgs for 7 years and I had zero anxiety, and zero side effects. Don't quite remember how i was tapered up to the 100 mgs but two weeks after I was there I felt great. I am no longer on Zoloft, why I came off is a rather long story, I probably should have stayed on...........

Been taking 50mg of Zoloft for a month now along with 60mg of Geodon. The Zoloft had helped with the anxiety and as far as the depression - well, it's just kind of made me feel numb inside. I can tell I am still depressed but I just feel kind of dead inside with no interest in anything. I don't know if this is as good as it gets for me or not. I'm glad that it's helped you, I hope when you talk to your doc you can get it tweaked to help even more... (Hugs)

I've been taking 50mg of Zoloft (Sertraline) but for depression. I also take .25mg of Alprazolam for my anxiety. The combination has been pretty good, I haven't had a major anxiety attack for quite a while. Because Alprazolam is a highly addictive drug, the doctor originally didn't want to keep me on it. But after seeing the difference even at such a low dose, he decided it would be OK. For more anxious, like flying for example, I have 2mg tablets which has been very effective the last couple of times I have flown. You may want to ask your doctor about the Zoloft/Alprazolam combo.

I took zoloft 25 mg for one month.
I needed to take medication to get rid of the "hypervigilance" symptoms from interfering with my daily living activities.
What the doctor prescribed was 1/2 pill for seven days, then increase to one pill one time a day. I chose to stay at the 1/2 pill since it helped me to get back to normal anxiety level.
I felt immediate relief from the "hypervigilance" level and increased regular anxiety level within four days of taking zoloft. However, I am well aware that the majority of people being prescribed any medication usually have to give it four weeks or so to really feel the effects of the medication.
The biggest challenge is finding the right mixture that works for your body, mind, and with the symptoms that interfere with your daily living activities.
Hope this helps.
