Mother experiencing severe panic attacks and anxiety for 3 wks. given 150mg zoloft, (sertraline) up from .50. condition has worsen. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: It is not uncommon to have temporary worsening of anxiety within the first few days of starting or increasing the dose of an antidepressant. I would strongly advise following up with your doctor as soon as possible given the worsening and persistent symptoms. There are additional medications that may be beneficial.
