Not ocd related but I’ve been getting off zoloft (I’m on the last stage before being off completely) and I think I’m getting wacky side effects. Along with the usual nausea and stuff I’ve been getting crazy anger. I’ve never been an angry person so this is scary, I can’t seem to control it. The only things that are helping me calm down are hitting myself or punching pillows. Then sometimes I just cry bc I guess I’m overstimulated Idk what’s going on but the people around me shouldn’t have to deal with it bc I’m snappy and weird. Literally anything can set me off. Has this happened for anyone else w ssris?

I'm curious about this too cause I take zoloft and after the doctor increased my dose I've been dealing with these intense waves of irritability/frustration that either make me angry or feel like I'm gonna have a panic attack. It's really weird and comes out of nowhere

Yes it’s super weird, they do feel kinda like panic attacks but with some anger. I wonder what it is! V interesting

Btw I’d never actually hurt anybody but Ik the anger can be scary and I don’t want to be that way around my bf. Like tonight I got upset drawing something and I hit the bed. Or some sounds will be too much for me and I have to leave to take the frustration/energy out or I feel like I’ll explode. It feels like a kind of overstimulation

starting Zoloft.

For starters I was on this medicine before i remember the first few weeks were very scary and debilitating. I don’t remember why I stopped taking it , it was about 7 months ago. but I just recently started back because my ocd and anxiety has been off the chain. I keep having bad thoughts about the side affects and I’m terrified like “ what if I have a seizure” can anybody share an experience? Anyone on Zoloft here. Thanks !

Sertraline Side-effects

Today marks my third day on 150 mg of Sertraline, and I've been noticing some symptoms or issues that could be related? I'm wondering if anyone else deals or has dealt with something similar? I've been having really vivid dreams and nightmares, and when I wake up from them, I'm DRENCHED in sweat. Like absolutely soaked. But besides that, I'm extremely anxious. Even the dreams I can't remember leave me feeling off, and then I spiral wondering what they were about. Then there's not being able to cry? I'm not incapable of feeling emotion, but the tears feel trapped, and I just get nauseous if anything. There's been a couple of times where I've been able to cry, but it's like on and off 😭 Oh, and the last thing is constantly feeling hot? Like my face will feel flushed, but the rest of my body is a normal temperature. It's weird🧍‍♀️

Is this a relapse or a delayed withdrawal reaction

I’ve been on Zoloft for 3 years almost for somatic ocd/anxiety/panic attacks and I slowly tapered myself off the correct way because I’ve been good for awhile and I felt like I was gaining weight from it. It’s been almost 2 months off the meds and NOW the last few days my anxiety has been so bad I’ve had no appetite and diarrhea and waves of panic is this me relapsing or a delayed reaction? Am I gonna have to be on meds my whole life because I really hope not :/ idk what to do I don’t wanna go back on my meds tho
