Anxiety issues

2017-09-21 18:05:11
Lately I've been having some anxiety issues. I am on 25 mg of Zoloft. However I am not able to see my psychiatrist. I was curious as to if going up to 50 mg would help? I have been on 25 mg for 3 years now.

25mg is not an effective dose for depression or anxiety. But I suggest you not to self medicate and consult a psychiatrist before the dose is increased, so that if there any contraindications for further increase in dose can be thoroughly assessed by your doc.
Next Steps
if you are unwilling/not able to see psychiatrist, There are several portals where you can have a proper consultation online which u can do at the comfort of your home.
