Before taking medication for an anxiety disorder:
Ask your doctor to tell you about the effects and side effects of the drug he or she is prescribing.
Tell your doctor about any alternative therapies or over-the-counter medications (Zoloft Medicine) you are using.
Ask your doctor when and how the medication will be stopped. Some drugs can't safely be stopped abruptly; they have to be tapered slowly under a physician's supervision.
Be aware that some medications are effective in anxiety disorders only as long as they are taken regularly, and symptoms may occur again when the medications are discontinued.
Work together with your doctor to determine the right dosage of the right medication to treat your anxiety disorder.
