About a year ago, I started on 200 mg of Zoloft for anxiety and ocd. It didn’t seem to work, but about 2 months later, it was just about cured. 2 months ago I slipped my zoloft down to 100mg, and the past few days my anxiety feels pretty bad…… could it really take this long for the medicine to get into and out of my system?

Zoloft is used to stabilize and equalize the hormone levels in your brain.

Typically, your dosages are raised slowly until you find the level that works best for your situation.

I’m not sure why you lessened your dosage, but that may not have been the best idea. Zoloft is there to make things better, not "cure" the problem. I would discuss getting back up to the 200mg with your doctor.
