My doctor just upped my dosage on zoloft (sertraline) today to 200mg (social anxiety)..it hasn't worked for 3 months, so if this doesn't work, what should i try?

Anxiety treatment: There are a variety of available medication and/or non-medication treatment alternatives for anxiety of which zoloft (sertraline) is one of them. 200 mg of zoloft per day is the approved upper limit label dosage.Patient preference, clinical benefit and tolerability can influence treatment selection. Your physician can review the available medication and non-medication options with you.

Zoloft (sertraline) blow out: For social anxiety, venlafaxine can be effective. Other ssri and snris have also been found to work. Do not neglect cognitive behavior therapy as an adjunct - exposure, challenging cognitive assumptions, education as to what the condition is. If suspiciousness or outright paranoia is part of the puzzle, consider a second generation antipsychotic for an interim at least. Meditation/neurofeedback?

Social anxiety: Different people respond differently to same medication. If not already doing so, cognitive behavior therapy in conjunction with medications is most helpful for your anxiety. Your prescribing doc. Can discuss with you the alternative medications, from supplementing to substituting to augmenting to switching, etc.
