Tell your doctor immediatly. You should try a different medication. Unless you haven't been on Zoloft for very long. I can take up to 3 weeks to notice improvement. But inform your doctor anyway.

Natural problems, (anxiety) probably should not be addressed with unnatural solutions (Pharmaceutical poisons.) A number of things might be contributing to the problem. First, begin cleansing the system. Colon (I recommend Salt flush a heaping tsp salt in a quart of warm water, two quarts first thing in the morning. About I hour later, nature will call, and much will come out. Preferably do this four mornings in succession to clean thoroughly. Then cleans the liver, the kidneys, and the blood. The reason Essiac worked so well was that it is a balanced cleanser. Next try to get nutrition where it needs to be. Most Americans are marginally deficient in "B" vitamins. (Nutritional yeast is a good source) Jonathan Wright (of the Tahoma clinic) recommends low dose lithium supplementation. (He has been taking it for 20 years.) Adding juiced fruit and vegetable juices will increase nutrition.

Two things to remember any antidepressant takes time to work in your body, some up to 4-6 weeks. So increasing the level of Zoloft would not make you feel any different right away. The second thing to remember is you may need to switch the type of antidepressant your on. So if you notice not change at all in a few weeks see your doc and talk to him about the anxiety. Goodluck

It could be that Zoloft or that Zoloft alone isn't the right med for you. After all, Zoloft is an anti-depressant, but is not an anti-anxiety agent. DIscuss this in detail with your doctor.

If I were you, I'd talk to my doctor about trying a different medication. Zoloft, while generally a good medication for mild chronic depression, isn't always effective for anxiety or panic attacks. Talk to your doctor about starting you on a low dose of a benzodiazepine (a class of medications used to treat anxiety and panic disorders... Valium, Xanax, and Ativan are the most common) and see how that helps you.

Try fluoxetine and practice progressive muscle relaxation. Another good thing to supplement medication is controlled breathing exercises.
