Hello
Welcome here.
Brief: change of drug is advisable.
Detail: zoloft usually shows its full effect in 2-3 weeks. But you have mentioned that you have only partial relief. In this case, either the change of drug or the increase in dose to 150mg is advisable.
Also practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation. These will supplement the effect of medicines.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
