In reply to How effective is zoloft for anxiety and panic?, posted by Margit on February 10, 2001, at 12:47:36
> I have been on Paxil in the past with great resulsts. I went of after a few years because toward the end it gave me acid reflux. After a while I tried it again - reflux again. I am on Nortriptyline right now 60mg (not in the therapeutic range yet). My pdoc wants to augment with Zoloft or eventually switch. Is Zoloft really effective for PD and anxiety? Any response is greatly appriciated?
If you do go onto Zoloft I would really like to know how it works for you with the Anxiety and Panic. I too was on Paxil for 3 years with great results, but then weaned myself off it thinking I was ok. THe PA's came back, and when I went back on the Paxil, it didn't work as well. (Apparently a common effect with ADs - wish I'd known before I came off). Anyway, the PDoc put me on Celexa, the Imipramine, the Prozac all with awful side effects. I'm now but on the Paxil with Xanax to help. I would like to try Zoloft, but unfortunately it's not Govt subsidised here and would cost me a lot. A lot of posts on this board are more about Depression and Anxiety rather than panic. Please let me know how you go, if you do go on the Zoloft.
