Zoloft is not working for me.

Back in august, I was prescribed Zoloft by my doctor for anxiety, she started me at 25mg but told me I could increase the dosage to what I find works for me.

I did 25mg for 4 weeks, along with suggested lifestyle changes (counselling, finding tasks when I get anxious, etc) yet I was still experiencing constant anxiety throughout the entire day.

I then went up to 50 mg for 4 weeks, and still did not feel much change.

I decided to go up to 75mg and that’s what i’ve been taking since, and it has been making me so weird.

I am quite a quiet person, but I have been bursting out in fits of anger (screaming) over small things, but it doesn’t even feel like i’m choosing to do it, it just happens. I am also much more emotional and will get upset or cry easy.

After realizing this was happening, I called my doctor to see what I should do, I couldn’t get an appointment until january so in the mean time i’m just going down to 50mg until then.

also - I smoke weed daily (at night to fall asleep) because it typically helps with my anxiety, could that be the reason for my bad effects?
