zoloft how long does it take to work

The above post doesn't appear accurate to me -- Pristiq is not usually prescribed as an adjunct to another antidepressant. It is the newer version of Effexor, is very strong, is a very stimulating antidepressant so isn't usually used if anxiety is the primary problem unless all other meds have failed to work, and can be very difficult to stop taking.

I guess medications are a personal choice, but as I went on the Zoloft, and increased it, it took a while for my body to adjust to it, but in the long run, it really helped me. I know what you are experiencing; I am only 29 and I went from running 40-45 miles a week, traveling everywhere, having a wonderful time with my wife, extremely social, to being depressed and wondering why this is happening to me. I too used to look at my old pictures, but you know what?

General info on zoloft;it takes at least two weeks to start to take effect,the first two weeks you might have side effects but they mostly pass.good luck!

I went in for my lp test and some blood work, they said they thought they were sending the lp to the mayo clinic but werent for certain. They said it could take up to months? Does anyone know when i should except to get some tests answers from my doc? Or when I should call my doc and find out if they heard something? I had it done thurs the 24th but I am so parionid of what it could show. I just want it to be over and done with finally. U know. Thanks for all the repsonses ahead of time.

5 mg twice a day for the past 3 years for an anxiety disorder .How long does Lexapro usually take to work? Do you actually feel happier and want to get out of bed and do things? I asked if there will be any serious side effects and he told me "No". I read a few reviews and some people experienced weight gain.

So I have a question... might sound dumb.. but how long does it take for your baby bump to go away??!

It takes 4-6 weeks for a med change to reach full potential in your blood, then after that, it can take another few weeks or even a couple months for your body to get well. While I don't condone sassiness and talking teenagers talking back to their parents, ask your mom to be patient and understand that the thyroid controls quite a few body processes, so without it, your entire body has to readjust and get used to the medication.

It takes 30 days to clear your system but if u work out n sweat it out a lot it takes only a few days

My doctor recommended I take Zoloft, a medication for my depression, anxiety and panic attacks because therapy, mindfulness, and other strategies weren't helping me. My mom thinks I shouldn't take it. She says that it might make things worse. I have been doing my own research but I don't really know what to do. My mom said it is my choice to make. I am starting to doubt my feelings, and if my depression is as bad as it seems.

I really think that as a recovering addict I will always have those dark periods, after all I was an addict for 24 years, and it is going to take some time to get back to normal. You did well by coming back online to express your thoughts.

t seem to be doing well on Zoloft after going back on it. It might be time to give Lexapro a try. I found Lexapro to be less stimulating than Zoloft. We're all so different though and respond to these meds differently.

Some people say to test twice a day, because your surge could be very short and may only have a 12 hour window, which only adds to the anxiety. I would have liked to try it, but it was hard to stomach the $30 for each kit. You could still conceive naturally. OPK's are not effective on everyone. Most of the time, it is because you ovulate at times you least expect due to stress, anxiety, or life events as well as most women don't ovulate every month too.

Been taking Zoloft , but stopped after day 5 , coz I lost my sex drive and it's scary coz I'm not sure how long it will take to come back . Does it come back once Zoloft is out of the system ? But you guys reckon after only 5 days is it much damage ?

Yes, it would take time for the new dose to kick in and start working. If it does'nt start helping pretty soon it may be because the Zoloft has just stopped working for you altogether. This can happen with antidepressants. No need to worry because there are many more to choose from. If you don't see a difference in a couple of weeks or you start having more anxiety see your Dr to talk about another med. Hopefully the dose increase will help you.

yeah...i've heard of people who take 200mg daily...so 25mg really isn't high. i would guess it would take a couple weeks of being at 50mg to know if it's starting to work or not. most people get frustrated at the ammount of time it takes to find the dose that works for you...but you just have to give it time.

I was recently diagnosed with dermatitis by a local dermatologist and he prescribed me a topical medication called "Elidel", since he didn't think steroid creams were appropriate for the area of body that I am treating which has thin skin. Anyways, I have been using the Elidel for about 10 days now, and have NOT seen any noticable difference in my skin condition.
