Hi,

I have some social anxiety, and the Zoloft works for me. I'm not 100% comfortable in social situations; in fact, I'm still very uncomfortable in them. But I fare better in them than I did before I started to take the Zoloft. The other thing is that it does take a while, probably at least a month, for most meds to start working. So it's probably best to just wait and see what happens.

the longer your on Zoloft the better it seems to work, and generally will reach its plateau after 6-8wks............so be patient

Hi,

I just started zoloft 3 days ago. I am currently coming off celexa, so I am combining 10mg of celexa with 25mg of zoloft per my psych doctor. I am eventually supposed to work my way up to 50mg of zoloft and then ultimately 100mg. I was only on celexa for a month and my anxiety and panic attacks got worse. My doctor decided to switch me to zoloft. I started the celexa for panic attacks and social anxiety. I hate speaking in front of groups of people, to the point where if I have to, I panic and sometimes even find myself avoiding them. I HATE feeling this way and I am determined to find something to help. (I also am in cbt treatment as well.) Sometimes I also have panic attacks just sitting in a group of people, like at a daily work meeting, even when I don't have to talk... Great.

This may sound weird, but I feel a bit better already! Maybe it's too soon to tell really, but I seem to feel much better than when I was on the celexa alone. Maybe I'm just hoping for better results, but I honestly do not feel like I get the same nagging knot in my stomach in the morning before work. I didn't have a panic attack in my work meeting today and I felt a bit more comfortable sitting there. Not completely anxiety free, but definitely better..

I hope this info is helpful to you and I hope the zoloft works for you.. smile.gif
