If depression is a bigger issue and you feel you need more improvement once you hit your sweet spot with Zoloft, you may want to consider adding 5 or 6 mg of l methylfolate. There is an l methylfolate prescription medication used as an adjunct to medications called Deplin. It may enhance the function of monoamines, serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, allowing antidepressants to work better.

No depression, just panic attacks and GAD..
I have had GAD since I was a child.. I am going to a therapist which helps a lot..
The Klonopin has helped a lot with my panic attacks that started in July after being off Prozac since March 2010..I had to stop Prozac because it was too stimulating..
My therapist told me that I should have never been switched to Prozac because it is used more for depression than anxiety..
Zoloft was working great from 2000-2005 but when I was at 50mg, I started to get restless legs and zombie like feelings.. I am thinking that if I can tirate up to 25mg, the zoloft may help keep the anxiety at bay.. I want to wean off the klonopin, but for now I am keeping my .5 dosage 1x/day until the Zoloft stabilizes..
I am also dealing with high FSH and LH levels ( perimenopause symptoms) so hopefully the Zoloft will help with this issue as well..
I was fine until I turned 41 this year.. been downhill ever since GRR!! But I am keeping a positive outlook! 40 is the new 20 LOL!!
I defintely want to try the fish oil, a lot of my friends take it with great results.. Have you heard of krill oil? It is a red gel cap that is supposed to be as good as fish oil but with out the fishy after taste.. Also, the pill is smaller (I hate taking big pills)
