I have been taking Zoloft for the last 2 months - just gone up to 75mg for the last 2 weeks with no effect. I know it should be working by now, but with Zoloft they don't give you a dosage that works - they just say between 50 - 200mg. So now I don't know whether it's not working because I'm not taking a high enough dose, or because it just isn't right for me. BTW, each time I titrate up, it's hell with anxiety. Any thoughts?Jackie
