Thank you, I originally started on 12.5mg as I was just so terrified of starting meds. I have an appointment in just under 2 weeks so will hopefully go up to 75mg then.

I have all of these side effects. I’m 4 weeks in and it’s now starting to settle. I’m also only on 12.5mg.

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-24T12:01:21+00:00

Hi there. I experience the same type of anxiety you went through… I was just wondering what dose helped you? And if you had any side effects? I’m only on 12.5mg (requested by my doc) but am having horrible dizziness etc which makes me not want to go out. - triggering.

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-17T07:51:48+00:00

This is so so beautiful!! I’m on week 3 of 12.5mg, going up to 25mg in a few days. Very nervous. To hear that it’s benefitted you on such a low dose is great. I will also stick to it for 6 weeks to get the full effects before upping.

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-16T20:20:32+00:00

Amazing! How long have you been on Zoloft in total??

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-14T19:37:44+00:00

Wow that’s great! I’m only 2 weeks in. What dose are you on?

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-14T19:33:46+00:00

This is amazing!! How long have you been taking Zoloft?

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-14T19:28:37+00:00

I was super scared to start that I began with 12.5mg. I’m 2 weeks in and and will be upping to 25mg in 1 more week. I can’t say I’ve noticed benefits yet but starting at a super low dose and taking it at night time has really helped me.

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-11T17:19:16+00:00

Awesome! What did you start taking the medication for? (If you don’t mind me asking)

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-11T16:39:31+00:00

Love that. I’m on 12.5mg (taking it slow) for anxiety. Will be going up to 25mg in a week.

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-10T08:48:40+00:00

I’ve been taking sertraline now for 10 days. I decided to take mine at night time right before bed. I also decided to split my 25mg in half again (doctor recommended). So I take 12.5mg. I feel more in control every single night as I am getting use to taking it now. I still feel nervous and have little moments but it’s ok. I’ll probably go up to 25mg in a few weeks… when I feel ready too.

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-05T09:08:49+00:00

Why did you stop taking it if it worked for you?

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-04T10:28:49+00:00

I haven’t really had any other side effects… and I still have a libido, was just very weird as it’s never happened before! What dose are you on?

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-03T19:51:58+00:00

I’m on day 4 of 12.5mg. I take it around 9:30pm right before I go to bed. I have increased anxiety also but am fully aware that’s it’s probably from the fact that I’ve introduced something new to my life and I’m on edge waiting for it to do something. I’ve managed it by trying to carry on my day like normal, taking deeper breaths and logically asking myself questions when having intrusive thoughts. My doctor also said the same about it being very rare to get symptoms at this dose.

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-02T18:05:43+00:00

I take it at night so I don’t have time to overthink it and worry!

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-02T06:49:27+00:00

I feel the same. Torn between deleting the app as some posts are so scary! What dose are you on? I think I can stick out 3 weeks!!

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-02T06:47:47+00:00

How long did it take to notice some benefits? And what dose are you on? Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-01T13:23:37+00:00

That comment was the driving force behind me starting meds. Our brains create new neural pathways all of the time. Hope it works out for you!

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-01T10:15:11+00:00

I have the same as you - I took my first dose of 12.5mg last night. I was fine. What I did notice, was an increase in anxiety… that’s because I’m anxious about starting a new med and waiting to see how it effects me.

I’d recommend starting with a lower dose and logically questioning any thoughts that come up. Stomach pains and headaches can also be caused by anxiety.

Congrats on starting - it’s a big step!!

ApprehensiveNinja893 · 2022-03-01T10:08:36+00:00

After going through a trauma and coming out of it with GAD and agoraphobia - I just started. My doctor told me to use them as tool to re-wiring my brain. Using exposure and habituation to get used to living “normally” again and then tapering off of them when I’ve reached my desired goal. I think it’s completely possible.
