How To Treat Severe Depression While On Zoloft 50 Mg With No Relief?

I am a 54 year old woman that's has been in my 2 grandsons life everyday of their lives. I have always clothed them and a lot of times fed them cause the parents didn't do it. they have lived with me almost all last year.well out of nowhere my daughter inlaw packed the kids up and left in the middle of the night. haven't heard from them in a month. she is about 4 hrs from me. This has been very traumatic for me and all I do is cry lay in bed, have fear I will never see the boys again, scared of how the boys are being taking care of. I don't laugh I cry I see no reason for me to go on without the boys. Could this be so traumatic for me that it is ptsd. it is def some type of depression issue. I have high anxiety also. I am on Zoloft 50 mg but now doesn't seem to help. I am so very desperate. I have lost the 2 boys in my life that were my world and now they are gone

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

You have most of symptoms of depression and on zoloft 50mg. This is the minimum starting dose of the drugs. The dose can be increased further. With higher dose, you will definitely get benefit. You can also take help of psychologist for counselling, I think you need this more than drugs. It would help you to cope with the situation. In case you need our help, you can connect us.

Thanks
