How long for Zoloft dose increase to work?

I'm wondering if anyone takes Zoloft for anxiety? I have been on it for almost 13 weeks now and recently went from 150mg to 200mg about 2 weeks ago. My question is, how long would it take to see a difference in the med increase? Is it something that would be fast?

I have been on Zoloft since it came out. Recently I went from 150 to 200. Didn’t notice any change in anxiety after a few weeks. It can take up to 6 weeks to see a noticeable difference for some people. But you are now at max dose. So if you are still struggling in the next couple of weeks, I would try something else... or an add on for anxiety which there are tons. Please feel free to message me if you want a list of other meds that may help😁
