stuff, I started out on 25 mgs of zoloft, then after a week began to take 50mgs. This doseage seemed to help , but I was still experiencing anxiety on a daily basis so after a couple of months my doctor increased it to 100mgs. I have been able to drive and function normally throughout the whole process. But I think my experience is slightly different them most because when I was at my worst instead of being scared to go out and do things, I was more scared of staying at home, as long as I was around people then I was ok. After about 6 weeks on the 100mgs I began to feel better then I had even prior to my panic and anxiety episode. One other thing that really helped me was Klonopin. While I was going through the process of trying to find the right dosage of zoloft, the klonopin really helped me to deal with the extreme panic and anxiety. I know there is alot of controversary surrounding these kinds of meds, but I wanted to get well so badly and what I was doing on my own obviously was'nt working, so it got to the point that I had to do whatever I needed to ,to get well. Now that I am so much better I don't take klonopin anymore and I'm hoping in the next couple of months I will be able to lower my dosage of zoloft, my doctor says I just have to take it slowly, but she knows I won't have to be on it for more then a couple of years. Keep hanging in there!
