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 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

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.

Hi all! I am on Zoloft 100mg and I was hoping to get some feedback! My biggest fear is being suicidal and sometimes I’m like checking to see if I am suicidal on the medication but then I think maybe it’s my ocd. My doctor wants to go higher but I’m wondering if this is a good idea based on my thoughts. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭

Hi everyone, I’m new to the community. I was diagnosed with OCD just a couple of months ago and have been doing some reading and other research to try and understand the disorder. With this, I have been actively seeing a great therapist who has been helpful to build tools to deal with my intrusive thoughts ( contamination OCD is my worst theme). Do help learn to deal with the compulsions, I start on Sertraline or “Zoloft” I believe since November 2024. Currently I’m on 50mg and have been doing this for just over a month. My question for those who are also taking Sertraline and it has been successful, how do you know it has really provided a benefit and how long did it take to get there? I sometimes feel the medication works, and sometimes I feel it doesn’t (maybe that’s my OCD trying to mess with things). Thanks!
