What Causes Panic Attacks After Decreasing The Dosage Of Zoloft?
taking 50mg zoloft and etizolaam will help
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I think that either you had a new episode of acute attack of anxiety and depression or its because of lowered dosage of zolft.
Whatever it is - for now you should go back to 50mg zoloft again.
Alongwith zoloft, taking etizolaam 0.5- 1mg tablet will help in controlling panic attack or present increased state of anxiety. You can repeat this drug three times a day but avoid it after 4pm. This is not sedative. Can be taken SOS also. Avoid driving.
From my clinical experience i feel that you will have sleeping problems too ( for few days ) now as anxiety has gone up- so, zolpidem 12.5mg can be taken after dinner.
avoid tea/ coffee and any other stimulant and alcohol (if you use it).
Dont worry, just wait for a few days and you will be back to normal.

Hope the reply helps you.
