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

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.

I used to get very irritable and have severe ocd, while I have only been on Prozac 3 weeks at only 10mg then recently 20mg. I have noticed that although my intrusive thoughts are still there, it’s more manageable like 30% more manageable and I’m hoping with time and if needed an increase of my dosage it could go to 50-90% more manageable. Anyone experience with ssri please share your experience dosage, name, how long it ok to kick in and how is your ocd now on the meds? Thank you
