So I started taking zoloft about 4 weeks ago at first everything was fine was just having a hard time sleeping so I decided to take a pm before sleep and that worked going into my 3 week I started to feel worse getting very nervous to go to work and leave my loved ones i still contuined to take it and couldnt make it through the day at work and had to leave I went to my doctor and he said he wanted to up the dose and see how that works and for me to stay out of work for the rest of the week, so now this week is coming to an end and i have to go back to work on monday and im starting to feel nervous im not really sure what is causing this because i was not like this before taking the zoloft i mean i didnt like going to work but it was never an issue that i couldnt make it through the day without having a panic attack and crying and having to leave has anyone ever experienced this or have any tips on how to make it through this i would really appreciate it!

Thanks Ashley
 
See if your doctor will give you a 6 or 8 week prescription for a benzodiazepine like Lorazepam or Xanax to get you through the start up phase of Zoloft. Antidepressants can be a little rough during the start. Things can seem like they are going along smooth and then boom, from out of nowhere, a side effect will surface, and anxiety attacts are among them. Sometimes going up or down a bit in dosage can help, too.
