It didn't help me at all with the anxiety. I was having severe panic attacks, wasn't able to sleep at all, etc. so I needed something stronger. My doc at the time said, "Oh, it's for little ol' ladies who are anxious. It's not a serious anxiety med." That was his opinion. I have a friend who swears it helps for her. (She takes it before she gets on an airplane.)
On the other hand, it did make me think about and want sex---something I had no desire for while on the Zoloft.
