Stopping and starting zoloft

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

I'm on 50mg Sertraline for anxiety/depression and it works great for me. I recently graduated from college and my psychiatrist there gave me a prescription to last me a few months (to get me by until I found another practice off-campus). I found a new practice but they weren't able to get me in until after I run out. Would it be horrible if I can't take it for 2 weeks, and then start it again? Or, is there a way I can get a prescription for just that 2 week period? Who would I contact for that?

If you responded appropriately to Sertaline and not completed 6-9 months of treatment then chances of relapse is very high. Better not to stop the medications and Consult any Psychiatrist directly or Online.
