I've struggled with depression/anxiety ever since I was about 13. I was prescribed medication when I was about 13, and it didn't really seem to work for me, so I quit taking it
and tried coping with it myself and through counseling. This past year, it's gotten worst and just got to the point where I tried pretty much everything and stopped
being stubborn, and decided to try medication. I got prescribed 25mg of Sertaline and I've been on it for about 5 months.It work amazing and made me feel soo much better! This past week though it's stopped working, almost
out of nowhere. Now I'm back to pretty much feeling how I felt in the beginning. I'm going to the doctor this week to talk about it being increased. I was just
wondering if anyone is prescribed to Sertaline/Zoloft and if they've been through something simaliar. Also, what are some ways I can feel better until I get to the
doctor? Thank You!

Any ssri can "peak out"(I don't think they stop working, just peak out). Yep go to 50mg and hold there. It might keep at that dose but go that route since your on it and it had helped. Alankay
