I was on 75 mgs of zoloft and 25 mgs of trazadone for 4 months and have weaned off both of them. I'm not sure if i'm still having withdrawal symptoms from coming off the zoloft 2 months ago and the trazadone 2 weeks ago.I'm still experiencing increased anxiety. I wonder if it is my menopause anxiety or the withdrawl from the medicine or both?

Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Central's Anxiety Community.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice. It would be impossible to say whether the anxiety you are experiencing is due to menopause, withdrawal or you are having anxiety because you are no longer taking anxiety medication.
Did you wean off this medication under the supervision of your doctor? Did you experience other withdrawal symptoms?
You may want to keep a log of what you are feeling and talk with your doctor. He or she would be better able to determine the cause of your anxiety and work with you to find ways to manage and cope with these symptoms.
