2nd day of zoloft......feel really weird.

[Non-linear]

Hi guys, i recently was started on zoloft, 25mg for the first 5 days then 50mg after that. This is my second day into it and i'm feeling just really off from it. It's hard to describe the feeling but i just feel almost flu like (minus the aches and sinus/chest stuff of course). I also feel very tired and lack the motivation to do anything. I have also felt slightly nauseous and had very little appetite. Is this normal? Will it eventually pass?

Im on citalopram i dont know if its the same thing but im really sick on it but been told it takes a couple of weeks for these meds to work and for side effects to wear off

I started zoloft 3 days ago and the first 2 days I feel really tired and just out of it. Today I have actually felt pretty good so I'm sure your symptoms will pass as well.

Since everyone's brain chemistry is different, we don't know if the Zoloft will work for you, Non-linear. Zoloft helps some people emotionally and some people it doesn't. However, if the Zoloft does start to work for you, it's unlikely that you'll start feeling better right away as a result of taking this medication, as psychiatric meds can take a while before they start working.
