Hi all, this is my first post ever. But I am struggling. I've been taking Zoloft for the past 3 years and gained a lot of weight. I don't thing my weight gain for solely from Zoloft, but I've decided to get off the meds to see if I can function without them and to loose weight. Well, I've been off it for about a month and my anxiety is back in full swing. Went to see my Dr. last Monday who told to get back on it. So started with the small doze again and not building it up. While I am waiting for it to work, my anxiety is pretty strong. I get elevated heart rate, cold/sweaty palms, thoughts rushing through my head, unable to focus at work and no desire to do anything socially. I know it will pass once my meds kick in but wanted to ask if any of you had to do round 2 and how long did it take for it to start working again. Any help/support is greatly appreciated as I am just lost.
