Any Suggestion For Suffering From Nervousness That Didnot Reduce With Zoloft Generic And Effexor?

I am presently taking Zoloft generic 100 mg but isn't helping with my nervousness. Have also taken Effexor XR which did not help either. I am still very nervous, have to be on the go constantly. Cannot seem to relax. What medication should I try next?

Dear User,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

The drug you are taking (Zoloft) is good for nervousness but it generally takes time to have positive effect. It needs to to be taken for 4-6 weeks before full effect.

If you already used 100mg for this duration than you need to increase the dose to have its effect as it may act in dose range of 50-200 mg.

Thanks
