HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It would be best not to alter the medication at this point especially without consulting with your doctor.

A reduction in dose of the zoloft may result in an increase in your depression and anxiety.

If you are feeling intolerably unwell, you may want to consult your doctor prior to the scheduled visit.
If you think that you can wait, this is also an alternative.

I hope this helps
