Are you seeing a GP or a Psychiatrist? How long have you been on your current med? What dose did you start on and what dose are you on now?

Each medication works differently with each person's chemistry, especially antidepresant/antianxiety meds. Most doctors realize this and work with the patient. However, there are some doctors that still follow the "one size fits all" rule.

Have you ever tried Celexa? I took Celexa for over a year and it worked miracles on me for depression and helped with the anxiety also up until a few months ago and I had to stop taking it because it made my anxiety worse. I do recomment this medication though cause it is a great one!!
Good Luck!!

Hey, I was also on Zoloft for some periods over the past three years. I Felt very depressed each time on it too and I'm still feeling the effects now. Tell your doc or just stop it cause it can get worse. Like they said, every person reacts differently to these kinds of meds. Take care!
