A member asked:
Is it normal to feel more anxious than normal the first day when you get on a higher dose of zoloft/anxiety meds?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Normal: yes. The start of any anxiety med or depression med can actually cause worsened symptoms until your blood level reaches the therapeutic threshold. Hang in there and give it 2-3 days. You should start feeling a positive effect that increases through the first month.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM sessions. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
