No problem! Try to give it some time, unfortunately lots of the side effects it takes a bit to just build up a tolerance to them. If you’re ever worried about a side effect you can always call a pharmacist, not sure where you live but I know in Alberta HealthLinks 811 line is super, a registered nurse will help you out over the phone! Just be careful with any SSRI to not stop taking it abruptly :)
I’ve been on it twice (50mg previously, a higher dose now because that’s what my brain needs). I’ve found that my body needs to take it slow/go incrementally when my dose goes up or down.
Ive generally had a good experience although when prescribed 50mg I tended to sleep too much so we lowered my dose.
I did 75mg of Zoloft and it helped a lot For three years
I started on 50mg Zoloft and have titrated up to 200mg daily now. At first I had really bad night sweats and night terrors but those have resolved now, occasionally I’ll get night sweats if I miss a dose by accident. Other than that I do have a tremor in my hands but I’m also on Vyvanse so it could be a result of that. They don’t sound like the most pleasant side effects but it’s worth it, it’s helped me a lot and the pros outweigh the cons for sure
Thank you all so much! I had my first dose yesterday night, and I couldn’t really sleep. Well, it’s fine, I am not really tired. Well, thank you!
Not started mine yet, but generally 50mg is what most are on and stay on. I would suggest starting with 25mg for a week or two to soften the punch of possible side effects.
Experiences with Zoloft?
Hey! So last night I started taking 25mg of Zoloft. And today I feel better! (Thank Heavens) SO FAR, there has been no side effects. Is that normal? Should I brace myself? Is the worst yet to come? Is it just a placebo effect? I’ve had this medicine sitting in my cabinet for a month because I have been scared to take it. Some of the rare side effects is almost too much for my anxiety to handle. The uncertainty of it all is scary. For those who have taken SSRIs/Zoloft before, what was the first 2 weeks like?
is anyone currently on zoloft / have experience with it? i just got prescribed it and am really nervous about the side effects.
