Hello,

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Anxiety and depression take some time to settle. Both the condition require similar group of medicines and they have to be taken at least for a year. As you have mentioned you were taking Zoloft but it is not much helpful to you.

I would suggest you to change it to some other better alternatives like Desvenlafaxine or Mirtazapine. You can take tab Clonotril as and when required during anxiety attacks. You should consult your treating psychiatrist and get opinion on these medication and change only after consulting him.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
