I've been through this I actually had to stop taking Zoloft but tbh I still haven't found the right medicine for me yet... You just have to figure out what's best for your body that might be upping the dosage or changing it completely.... I will say tho be careful and if you decide it stop taking it you need something to use as an alternative
