4 weeks in - not much yet. How long?

[captainworry]

Ok guys,
I've been on Zoloft for about 4 weeks.
Starting at 25, 50 and now 100mg.
Haven't noticed anything yet, maybe i was expecting too much from this drug.
How long have you guys found it takes for the drug to 'kick in' so to speak, i read it is usually 2 - 4 weeks but maybe some people like me take longer.

I'm also not sure what to expect when it does start working, do you really notice it or is it rather subtle?

I'm mainly taking it for bad Health Anxiety.

thanks heaps.

Hi there

I can't see how it will help with bad HA to be honest. I think you would be better with some form of CBT for that.

Hi.....I have been on sertraline now since end of May...Im on 150mg, as of yet there has not been much improvement for myself personally....HOWEVER, wrongly i know, I also highly abuse laxatives, and have been told that subsequenlty the meds are coming straight back out.

sorry my reply was not much use just wanted to respond though
