Hi smokee! Welcome!

I also take Zoloft. I have found it more helpful with my depression than with my anxiety, but it does help a bit with my anxiety too. It helps me sleep better which is in itself worth a lot. I'm on a dose of 100 mg per day. My pdoc wanted me to go up higher, but I can't seem to tolerate anything above 100 mg per day (my anxiety and agitation get noticeably worse at a higher dose and I start getting something called akathisia, which is like restless leg syndrome, but in your whole body.) At 100 mg per day, I have no side effects.

Wishing you all the best!
