Why does your Zoloft make you anxious still?

Zoloft, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), can sometimes lead to increased anxiety, especially in the initial stages of treatment. This reaction may occur as the body adjusts to the medication and its effects on serotonin levels. Additionally, individual differences in metabolism, dosage, or the presence of underlying conditions can contribute to persistent anxiety despite treatment. It’s important to discuss any ongoing symptoms with a healthcare provider for potential adjustments or alternative therapies.
