Hi Pocahontas,

I have used Zoloft on and off for the last few years with good results for my depression. My doctor has always treated my anxiety with benzo's. I do believe that the anxiety has been lessened somewhat from the Zoloft. As Pickledoo said above, Zoloft really should be monitored by an MD. It can be difficult to achieve the proper level of medicine for you, and some SSRI's work better than others for people. For example, Paxil may be a better choice for you. Whatever you do, do NOT go cold turkey off Zoloft or any other SSRI. Not a fun experience, I can assure you.

Good luck, and I hope you can find something for your anxiety!
