At the end of last year I started getting panic attacks out of nowhere, gave myself health anxiety which fueled it further and ended up on 50mg zoloft after finally reaching out to my GP for help in Feb 2026.
The first 2 weeks were hell. Increased anxiety, insomnia and restlessness. It settled after that and I was feeling a lot better at the 4 week mark. Mood was great. So motivated and back to my old chirpy self. There was still some lingering anxiety when I got to 2 months so recently increased my dose to 100mg as per my Dr's advice. Omg it's been awful. I'm not happy. I'm not sad. I don't feel anything. I'm tired and unmotivated. I just want to sit and stare into space. I'm at the end of week 3 now. I'm sure the first time around I was feeling better by now and I definitely didn't feel this apathetic.
Do I just ride it out like the last time? Or is this a sign 100mg is too much for me?
