Can Start Taking Only Zoloft For Depression And Anxiety After Weaning Off?
I suffer from depression & anxiety (genetic in my cash) and have been on everything. I was taking 100mg of Zoloft and 15mg of Remeron (prescribed by my Dr. I gave up the Remeron as it seemed to really increased my appetite. Then I decided I really didn t need any Zoloft or Remeron. I weaned myself off both and it s been two months and I really do need something. My depression & anxiety is bad. My question is if I go back on my Zoloft only, can it make enough of a significant change on how feel. I don t think my Dr. is helping right now.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
You can start with Zoloft, but it would take two weeks to show proper response. Better to take low dose benzodiazepine like clonazepam with it. It would give you sound sleep as well as control anxiety symptoms. You have to consult a psychiatrist for them, as these drugs are not available over the counter.
Thanks
