I was diagnosed with anxiety 7 weeks ago and have been on Zoloft for 5weeks and have just increased the dose to 100mg.
Just wondering if anyone has had these symptoms.
My eyes feel tired, hard to keep them open and hard to focus. Sometimes I will splash my face with water and try to 'wake them up'.
I have a throbbing in my head, not like a headache more like pressure in my head. I can feel my pulse in my ears when I lay down and my head feels heavy.
My Counsellor has also mentioned derealization and I think I may also suffer from this as sometimes I just feel like what is going on isn't real. Like I can see everything going on but feel like I need to sort of wash my face with cold water and 'snap' back into life.
I have had an MRI and that was all fine. Have had my eyes tested and they are also fine.
I can feel the Zoloft is working but since I increased the dosage I feel I have stepped back a little because of the side effects (heart racing, headaches, iritability). I am sure in a couple of days though that will go and hopefully I will be able to get back on track.
Would love to heard from anyone that can give me a little insight into this. As this is still all very new to me I am finding it hard to understand what is going on.
I had stopped driving and going to the shops, have just started to get back into this week. Only driving locally and just getting a handful of groceries though.
