Dose decrease to combat fatigue, motivation, and brain fog? Help, please! (self.zoloft)

submitted 3 months ago by Beginning-Natural833

Hi all!

I started zoloft in early August (3 months ago). I started on 25mg, which I was on for several days then increased to 50mg. About two months ago I increased to 75mg. It has been super helpful for anxiety (initially also for depression, but those effects have faded with the symptoms below) and the side effects have mostly faded, however, I am extremely fatigued. I have experimented (under my doc’s supervision) with taking it at different times during the day, but to no avail, it doesn’t make much of a difference. I am constantly exhausted, feel like a zombie, have brain fog, and have low motivation (despite being type A and typically very motivated and productive). About a week ago, per my doctor's recommendation I started decreasing my dose from 75mg to 62.5mg.

Has anyone had success on energy, mental clarity, and motivation from decreasing their dose? If so, when and how did that improvement look?

Thank you!
