"Is it wise to occasionally take 5mg of valium for anxiety while I also just started taking 50mg of zoloft once a day for depression. Zoloft side effect are quite extensive. Added anxiety since started zoloft .
Thank HW"
Yes, you will be perfectly fine. Anxiety and Depression usually go hand in hand.
Thank you for answering. Don't think I can take another zoloft. Feel very anxious for hours and hours after taking. This is only the 2nd time dose I have taken, I started Saturday. Maybe I should give it more time.

Herk, Zoloft usually takes about a week to start making any significant therapeutic changes, so give it some time. Also, I would mention to your doctor that the med is causing you to feel nervous. Also, Zoloft is teh type of drug that you can't just stop taking abruptly either...if you do, you will most likely experience nausea and severe headaches. Hope this helps.
