Default Advice on Zoloft

I have an appt with the psych doc next week. I don't feel like Zoloft is right for me. I have been on 50mg for about 3 weeks and went down to 25mg last week due to the jittery and nervous feeling that wouldn't stop.

Today was day three trying to do without my nighttime med, Remeron (Mirtazapine) which was a huge mistake. My anxiety was through the roof all day because I haven't been sleeping the past few nights.

I'm getting back on the Remeron tonight because I'm obviously still dealing with sleep issues, but today just made it very clear that the Zoloft isn't doing its job.

I didn't know if anyone had a bad go round with Zoloft then transitioned to something that worked better. I know everyone is different, I just need some help with what to ask this MD for to replace it. He's going to be clueless I'm sure.

And one more thing, does anyone know how I can find out if there is a local psychologist or psychiatrist that specializes in brain injury patients? I'm not getting any luck with google and I know some of you on here are very knowledgeable about where to go for info. I live across the bay from Mobile, AL.

Thanks again for any and all advice. Hearing from you guys helps so much.
