I have been on Zoloft for 3 months now. And still no help with my anxiety. Last night I was at a get together with my mother and some of her coworkers. All day before the actuall get together, I was experiencing anxiety and nausea. I managed to go, but it got so bad I was shaking, hot, nausea and actually started throwing up 10mins after I was there and had to leave. Im going back to my doctor to talk about this. Knowing I need something for my anxiety, I was wondering if there was something in particular I should ask for. Something that would help me when my anxiety gets bad, that will relax me and make me more comfortable? Thanks for any help.

well i honestly dont think i am depressed and even let my doc know this. I only experience anxiety during or before a social situation. Or when something important is coming up. Im on 50mg zoloft also. Thanks for the help.

zoloft can help anxiety, but is primarily for the depression that causes anxiety - hoping that the depression treatment will reduce the symptom of anxiety - there are numerous medications for anxiety so when you talk to your doctor there are two things to talk about - 1>are you on a high enough dose of zoloft? 2>what is causing the anxiety disorder? - after it is determined that an anxiety med is needed...ask what are good - i've taken CLANAZEPAM (sp?) and it works great for short term...when the depression lifts i don't seem to need it anymore.
