restarting an old medication

[ab8489]

I was on Zoloft for obssesive thoughts and anxiety with very good results (after a few dosage increases). I was put on some other meds since that have not been as effective and my doctor put me back on Zoloft. I am so scared that this time around it won't work for me for some reason. Has anyone had luck with going back to an old medication and have it work for them again?

Do not worry about this ....Just follow ours doctor's suggestions. As he knows your problem better than any body...just follow his prescription .

A psychiatrist I saw a few years ago told me that if you're put on a medication that works for you and then are taken off of it, it may not work the second time around (or it may work, but not as well).

Just think like this : if it worked the first time then it has to work the second time. Its obviously the medicine your body responds to :) good luck

I have been on & off Effexor XR a few times & every time worked like the last, so be confident but you have to give it time. Each time for me it took a while but eventually I was back to the real me :)
My dosage was lowered recently & I went back to anxiety full force, so now the dosage is back up again & I am working on getting back to me once again. It's only been a week after bumping it back up, so I am trying to be patient. I am prego to so thats not helping much but well see! I'll keep u updated if u would like
