My dr. switched me from buspar (buspirone) to zoloft, and now i'm experiencing great anxiety again. how long will the zoloft take to kick in? is this normal?

Few weeks: That's the short answer. If you were less ancious while taking buspar, (buspirone) it must have been stopped for a reason. The increased anxiety you feel could be due to stopping the buspar, (buspirone) or the initial effect of the zoloft, or both. Either way, the zoloft could take a few weeks for it to help your anxiety as the dose is adjusted.

3-12 weeks: Zoloft effectiveness for gad (number of people): not at all somewhat moderate high very high overall 6 55 91 74 24 long term (1+ years) 0 16 46 42 18 if it works it can take 3-12 weeks for its effect.www.ehealthme.com/cd/gad/zoloft unlike lexapro, (escitalopram) zoloft was never fda approved for generalized anxiety.
