I was put on small dose of Zoloft for extreme anxiety (12.5mg I know small dose, but that's because another ssri made my anxiety much worse. and I'm new to medicine (less than year), but told I'm very sensitive to them.

Zoloft started helping in 3-4 days (felt like a miracle.) Even with major stress in life.

Then a "major" trigger 5 days later (really messed me up.) I assumed I was getting worse was because of that.

I was suppose to go to 25mg after 1-2 weeks if needed. I tried, but I think things got worse so I went back down to 12.5. Or I figured best to wait until over this trigger.

I've been on Zoloft for almost 4 weeks. Things seem to be getting worse each week. Couple weeks ago I'd get out of bed 2-3 times to start day. Then return (this is not the normal me.) Now it takes so many times it's sickening.

Now I just want to be in bed (which is so unlike me! I didn't even nap before.)

So past few days I started to reduce dosage to get off it, but then I'm reading sometimes you get worse then better with Zoloft? Experience?

I see psychiatrist this week. Trying to decide to go back to 12.5mg, increase, or keep reduction until then.
