Actually, I should have clarified my post. Sorry. I am Bipolar II. Actually, I am looking to replace what Zoloft "once was" for me. It used to help tremendously with my anxiety. It stopped the rapid thoughts, anxious ruminating and really helped with the OCD (compulsive restlessness and cleaning). I have also had major weight gain with it and constant digestion problems. It no longer seems to be helping with my anxiety, things are no longer rolling off my shoulders. Things are bothering me that haven't bothered me since I added Zoloft to my meds. I tried to raise the dose, per pdoc from 50 mgs. to 75 and it doesn't help. Just makes the side effects even worse. I think, like you said, the anxiety is making me depressed. There is nothing really wrong in my life yet I find now I am starting to ruminate aboout nothing if you know what I mean? The OCD flares back up when I am anxious. Cleaning constantly calms me down, but sure is a time waster! Basically I feel like the numbing effect of the Zoloft is wearing off and I am beginning to panic. Any suggestions?
