What Causes Depression Episodes Even After Zoloft Usage?

I've been taking Zoloft for 15 years for depression and anxiety. I am taking 200 mg daily. I was recently under a great deal of stress and the anxiety attacks came back. Now I have low-level anxiety all the time and dissolve into tears with no provocation. Could I have developed an immunity to Zoloft? If so, is there another medicine that treats both depression and anxiety? Thanks!

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Zoloft is prescribed worldwide for anxiety disorders. The outcomes are also mostly positive. You should work with your psychiatrist for a better treatment option. Drug treatment may not be enough in your case. Researches proves that medicines alone cannot cure anxiety disorder. Along with medicine you should practice psychotherapy techniques to streamline your life style and meditation and yoga techniques to calm your mind, body, streamline your metabolism and thinking style. Please consult a psychologist.

If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
