Can Zoloft Cause More Anxiety And Depression Even On A Lower Dose?
Can zoloft cause more anxiety and depression even on a lower dose. Also can it effect how well Valium works in your body. I have been on zoloft and valiun for over a year, but with no results. Is there a medication that can keep you calmer and more relaxed.
Thank YOU

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Zoloft is a very good antidepressant and has good effect on anxiety or depression. At low dose, it would not show good effect. Effective dose of zoloft is more than 100mg. In case, your dose is less than 100mg, then you should ask your psychiatrist to increase the dose upto 200mg per day rather than to shift to another antidepressant.
Thanks
