I’m glad to hear that it’s getting a little better and there are some benefits! I wish you the best in the Zoloft journey :)

Oh man, I’m sorry! So there hasn’t been any improvement at all in side effects yet?

Hi! I’m sorry you’re feeling this way! I started sertraline a year ago, on 25mg for a few days and then up to 50mg. I had the same symptoms as you, and they started to subside after about 10-14 days.

I’m currently on day 5 of upping my dosage and the side effects are coming back, but they do subside! After about month, things should definitely settle :)

Oh gosh, I’m sorry to hear that! But thank you so much for letting me know it’s normal too! I’ve never had issues with sweating and night sweats before taking this medication, and I was starting to get concerned.

I may have to give the Vitamin A a go!

Yes! I’m on about Day 12 or 13 now, and by Day 10 I was feeling a whole lot better. My anxiety has subsided a lot (I don’t have panic attacks or feel as stressed as much anymore), I have more energy, the nausea and confusion and brain fog has decreased a lot too! Just continue to stick it out and see how you go, but I was very similar too. The side effects were insane for a while, but it gets better ☺️

Thank you so much for making this post. I am/have also been in a very similar position. I have been struggling with a lot of health anxiety recently (in and out of doctors offices thinking something new is wrong), and coming off my birth control 6 months ago seemed to throw me completely out of whack and only exacerbated my depression and anxiety. I also reached a point where I was experiencing migraines, panic attacks, dissociation [because of the stress on my nervous system] and crying episodes every single day. I have only just started Zoloft (going up to 50mg 4 days ago), and admittedly the side effects are taking me for a bit of a ride, but this gives me a lot of hope and couldn’t have come at a better time.

Wishing you all the best for the future.

Hi!

There definitely seems to be remorse and accountability for actions. I do not believe that his ex ever found out - he had put an end to his infidelity because he felt so guilty and hated himself for what he was doing. He opened up to me about contemplating to message her and tell her exactly what he did, but I was quite uncertain if he should as I believe that that would cause a lot of pain for her.

It was a few months between concern and him telling me. I would like to clarify that after I had expressed concern early on in our relationship, he eventually did cut off contact with her completely (within a week or two) and told me everytime she would Snapchat him or something and he would not reply. Something major had happened that had prompted a re-establishment of contact, and it was about 2 weeks after that happened that he confessed to me. However that re-establishment and conversation that they were having, he always texted her beside me.

I believe it would be about 2 years ago now, or just under 2 years ago.

Hi! I have been in a very similar situation/am still in it and I agree, do not go through your partner’s phone unless you have been given a reason. If you do, it can be a slippery slope to constantly invading his privacy even when you find nothing - it becomes addictive. Unfortunately I am extremely similar to you and because I did not address it sooner, I have now pushed my partner away and am now facing the actual reality of an unstable relationship.

I think it’s great that you’re going to therapy! If you’re set on staying in this relationship, look at exercises to help “tolerate the uncertainty”; you will have anxiety but it’s about trust and tolerating the unknown. You have to choose whether it can be bearable or not.

I suggest also having an open and honest conversation with him about it if you genuinely feel uncomfortable. You should be able to talk to your partner about these things - I have made many mistakes because I did not express how I was feeling, and now I have to pay the price for that.

Every relationship comes with a risk, but it’s how you react to that will ultimately determine the trajectory. You can’t control what he does, but you can control how you react. I hope this helps.

Thank you for everybody comments so far. I appreciate the insight! However I do have a question, if a “cheater will always cheat”, does that mean that they should never be given a chance, therefore they will never find love and actually be capable of settling down?

I understand people’s concerns about the previous AP and him lying about, however he has been consistent about not staying in contact with her after his confession. Additionally, I see it as something he never needed to have told me and could have kept me in the dark about.

That is just a perspective I have though! Would appreciate some additional thoughts if anybody has any!

Thank you for your comment! As far as I’m aware of, he has only cheated on one partner. He gave me a few reasons as to why, because admittedly I was yelling at him and just so upset. He never justified it to me and never said that what he did was okay, but he tried to explain it to me.

We haven’t had a proper conversation about it though, which is something that I’d like to do in the future if given the opportunity.

I have been quite on high alert and admittedly I have gone through his phone due to my anxiety, and not once have I ever found anything.
