Does anyone here take zoloft mainly for anxiety/panic disorder instead of depression? I am curious as to how it does for anxiety. I used to take it awhile back and it was just okay, but my doctor seems to like it and really believe in it for anxiety and panic.

Zoloft seems to help my anxiety, but it doesn't get rid of it. I also take amitryptilin (Elavil) at night, and that seems to help "cure" the anxiety, so to speak. The combination works far better than either drug alone for me.

Take care,
DB
