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.

OCD and Zoloft (Sertraline)
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!

Starting zoloft!!
So my doctor is starting me on 25 mg of Zoloft soon and I'm actually really exicted. I'm finally ready for this to be manageable. I know it's not a cure but I am told that zoloft is primarily recommended for specifically ocd. I'm not sure if I'm ready to start it tonight but yeah. Please do not tell me any negative side effects or anything related to nausea since I'm taking it for emetophobic contamination ocd and I don't need any opinions to make me biased but if any of yoy had SUCCESSFUL zoloft stories please comment!!

Zoloft
I’m thinking about starting sertraline (Zoloft) soon. What are your experiences on it? Is it worth it? I mainly wanna take it for my social anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Depression isn’t a problem I face. What dosages are you on? Are you happy with it?
