I take zoloft (sertraline) for depression/anxiety and i still have bad anxiety which is also a side effect.. what can i do to help ease the anxiety?

Change medication: Sertraline is a good medication for anxiety, but everyone's chemistry is a little different. If you're more anxious since starting the medicine, then it's probably the wrong medication for you. Some people who feel "anxious" may have a mood instability, like a mild form of manic-depression. For them, a mood stabilizer, like lithium or topiramide might be a better choice. Talk to your doctor.

Change or add meds: Might try an sari that is less stimulating (celexa Lexapro Luvox etc) and /or add a tranquilizer (ativan Xanax (alprazolam) Klonopin etc).

Anxiety: Adding anxiety medication for short-term might be an option. Consult your doctor.
