I am not sure anyone can answer that for sure, but my guess would be that if it worked for you last time, it will probably work for you again -- though there may be a short period of time to wait before it starts to work. If, for any reason it does not work for you, your doc should be able to give you a different med to try. Best wishes, Medved

I have tried other medicine and do not like them. I hate the dopey feeling most all of them cause.

I think a second round will work out ok for you. I was on Zoloft 4 times before, and the first three were good, 50 mgs took care of everything. Now, as for the last time, I was up to 200 mgs and it still wasn't doing anything for me, except making me gain weight! LOL!

I'm now on Lexapro, third week in, first week on 5 mgs, two weeks on 10 mgs, and I can already feel the benefits of it to the point that I've started weaning myself off of my xanax, I started today as a matter of fact.

Good luck!
