Just started Zoloft

Thanks for your replies, and yes I have read everything I could find about any possible side effect and it's like I am so in tune with my body waiting to get one. I am determined to stick this out. I can't live in constant fear and worry all the time, that's not living. I have finally reached the point I will do whatever it takes to try to have a normal and happy life, I have wasted a lot of years and I don't want to waste anymore. Thanks for your replies

Hi Becky, I felt the same way when I first started taking the Zolofy. I started at 25mg. After about three days the lathargic feeling went away. The same thing when I went to 50mg happened. At 50 though I think I felt a little more light headed. Lots of anxiety from the meds themself. Went up to 75mg and got that same feeling again. Today I've had a slight headache. This is new to me. Tommorrow I will go back to 50 mainly because my prescription was not re-newed since my Dr is out on vacation. I will have to get 50 mg doses If 100mg doses are not called in. I think the 100mg doses will be cheaper though in the long run. Hope this helps Hippo

Hey Becky i think its the added anxiety that makes you feel a bit weird after you first start any meds for anxiety cause you no doubt read all the side effects (like the rest of us do ;))and i know when i first started mine i was so tuned in to every little thing that was going on with my body i was just waiting for any of those darn side effects to start so thats why i take mine at about 9.30pm so i can go to bed and try not to worry about possible side effects though it dosnt always work hope this helps somewhat :)goodluck Lulu..

Hi finally bit the bullet and started a very low dose of Zoloft, I just wanted to know if anyone started an SSRI knows if it's common to feel out of sorts weird, sort of lethargic at first. I just feel different. Thanks for any replies Becky
