So I decided to go ahead and start my zoloft. I have tried every natural/homeopathic remedy out there and just have up. I hated feeling the way I did and I need to feel better

I took my first dose on Saturday night along with .5mg. I slept pretty good, and didn't have a lot of side effects the next morning besides dizziness, and still my SOB and heart palpitations. I had a major panic attack later that day, from a horrible situation took half of an ativan.


On MondayI had a pretty good day, anxious that morning, but good blood pressure, and pulse. Very sleepy! Relaxed all day but then started feeling panicky towards end of the day and took half an ativan. Felt extremely better and relaxed that night and went to sleep.

This morning I woke up with mild anxiety, not as worse as it has been, but still short of breath. Felt out of it. Very dizzy all day, sleepy but restless. Brain zaps of and on. Ended taking a full dose of ativan. I am relaxed now, and really contemplating taking the zoloft. I know these are common side effects, I guess I'm just getting inpatient and want it to start working

Let me know how it all goes! I've been on Lexapro for like 3 weeks and I'm constantly dizzy. It makes driving a little dangerous:/ and a little bit fun... :)

So far today has been pretty okay. I feel wired. But more energetic and happy. I actually didn't take it last night and decided to take it this morning. I think I may like this better than taking it at night. Im still having some shortness of breath, but I do feel like it is getting better. This is day 4! Hopefully things will continue to get better.

Hang in there, the first two weeks are the hardest. I started Lepraxo and Paxil, after the first dose i said i cant do this!! They totally killed me..!! If i keep feeling the same i might ask my doctor for Zoloft.

I have been taking zoloft for almost two weeks (I would have to check the bottle actually) I think and it is MUCH better now then when I first started. I literally felt like I was going to die when I first started taking it. It was really hard and made me feel dizzy and horrible and was taking propanolol with it...blegh. But it seems better now. I do better taking it in the morning too. It seems to help and I am able to sleep a little bit better. At least the last week or so.
