I had a that experience with zoloft 😥 I talked with my doctor and switched to lexapro then when that stopped working I switched to venlafaxine and that has worked so much better. It is a difficult journey to find the right treatment and medication. 💕

I’ve been on Effexor for 15ish years now. It’s usually the benzos that you build up a tolerance to and they stop working. I had to detox off clonazepam for a few months here and there because it stopped working.
