Are Zoloft Tablets The Right Medicine For Anxiety And Depression?

Hello! I have been on Zoloft for about 2 months now. I was on 100mgs. I had to go to 2 different hospitals in 1 month & at each one that increase it by 50mgs. So, by the time that I got out I was up to 200mg. I was feeling more anxious, depressed, nauseous, shaky, etc. My psychiatrist changed it to 100mg. - immediate drop - no taper, then on the next day to 100mg. Then on the next day back up to 150mg. which I was on for a total of 5 days. I was still feeling the same as I stated above. I went down to 100mg. again today & the nausea, anxiety, depression, etc. just has not gotten any better. I am just not sure if I should be on 100mg or 150. I was on 100mg. for a long time & didn t notice feeling so bad until all of these changes were made. What would your suggestion be????

I really appreciate your concern, if this is the anxiety and depression so I always advise to all my patients that try to come out of this conditions without the help of medicine because as long as the medicines are concern it is like wide gate open, you have to be on medicine for years, then why not try to come out of this condition, and for this be positive, practical, confident, and you can do this try it hope this information helps.
