So I told my doctor after I gave birth that my anxiety felt like it was trying to come back like it use to be before I was on 50mg of zoloft so she opted the dose to 75mg I started taking it a couple of days ago and I feel terrible like I have racing thoughts and ALL . I really want to come off this pill do you all think I should stay on 50mg.

Hi MZ,

If I am reading this right...you were on 50 mg pre-pregnancy...

...then your doctor re-instated you on 75 mgs all at once?

It sounds like a situation of too much to fast.

I would ask about going back to the 50...or even a minimum dose...and going up from there if it is necessary. (but it may not be!)

I hope you can get the right dosage/regimen that you need in order to feel your best!

Keep us updated so we can keep you in support.☺

You understand exactly what am saying. All I want is to be anxiety free it seems like post pregnancy anxiety came back stronger then she placed me on 75mg instead of the 50mg I was on during pregnancy. Today she told me to stick with 50mg all I want is to come off these pills one day. Thanks for responding

Okay, good plan...stick with the 50 for now.

In the future, you may find you can drop to 25, and eventually wean...especially if you plan on expanding your therapy/self help skills...

...but one step at a time is wise...and for now, you need to feel yourself, so you can enjoy this amazing time with your baby!❤

Let us know how you are doing soon,
