Long story short, been on Zoloft 150 mg for almost ten years. Two weeks ago, had a panic attack and figured med was pooping out. GP initially increased to 200 MG, which, after a few days, kicked in and I felt back to normal. Then, this past weekend, had another panic attack. Back to GP, he and I discussed moving to a new med and settled on Paxil. Was going to start the switch tomorrow, no taper, just apples for apples, but today I actually felt a little bit better. So now I'm not sure what to do. Even if the Zoloft increase is working, within a year or two I am still going to have to switch meds. Is it better to do it now or wait? My other question is to those of you who have increased dosages, how long does it typically take to see effect? It's been 13 days since the increase. It's been so long since I've changed anything about my meds that I've forgotten. Any feedback is welcomed, thanks.
