Hello everyone well I notice my anxiety level is a bit increased since I am going to have my 1st child. Is it normal for anxiety to increase when you forget to take one of your zoloft. Sometimes at night I fall asleep without taking my 25mg and I am anxious the next day. My dosage of zoloft is 75mg. I take 50mg in the morning and 25mg at night. Thanks in advance

Hi MZ,

Yes, missing a dose can disrupt the balance for a while...whether it is mostly physical, mental...or a little of both (most likely) is debatable...

...but the result is the same, so increasing your coping skills until you're back on track will be a good plan.

I hope that everything else is going well...and that you are managing even in spite of the increased anxiety.

Wishing you and baby the best of health...keep us updated!

Hi

Zoloft has a 24-hour elimination half life to get out of your system which is quick so yes missing a dose may cause you some issues such as breakthrough anxiety. If it is something which is happening regularly I would speak to your doctor about the option of taking all your dosage in the morning? Just a suggestion.
