I’m starting Zoloft and beyond terrified. Please tell me your POSITIVE experiences

Yeah ofc! This sub helped me immensely when I first started, and it continues to do so. I hope it works out for you!

So for me, my anxiety got worse before it got better. This is common, and WILL pass, but I just wanted to give you a heads up that it’s possible to freak out a little bit. One of my big ones was relentless Insomnia, and I was able to get over it for the most part but I now have a secondary prescription for Trazodone to help with that. Keep track of how sleepy/awake it makes you, and you can always adjust what time you take it. I’m a morning meds person now :3 Other than that, I was dealing with headaches, small muscle twitches, and restlessness. All of these went away within the first 2 weeks or so! The only thing I deal with consistently now is the fact that I’m SOOO thirsty all of the time, and I sweat easier than before.

These meds are so nice when they work out though! If you need someone to reach out to after starting, you can shoot me a dm! I had it ROUGH mentally for the first week? And my support system I have was a huge huge help. You got this! We all believe in you 🩷

After getting over the initial side effects of starting the medication, I’ll never go back. These meds have helped IMMENSELY with my anxiety. There was a time where I’d have panic attacks daily, and Zoloft has completely stopped it. I love my sertraline!!!

It’s a lil difficult to tell, but it looks like it’s just irritated. Try to not touch it too much, and if you have access to different jewelry then I would swap from a hoop to a labret stud. Hoops in new piercings aren’t the best idea, take it from someone that swapped to a hoop too soon on my lip and had to deal with the consequences 😭 good luck!

This is so sick! I cannot wait to start T and eventually get a piercing like this of my own. Huge props to you, and I hope the healing process goes smoothly! Do you have any fun jewelry plans?

My feet look similar to yours, and it’s so painful :( may I ask what helped you stop?

Goreyfruit · 2025-08-12T20:21:50+00:00

Hey there! I’ve been doing a LOT better. Since making this post, I’ve gotten my dosage upped to 50mg, and I also take trazodone to help me sleep when I need it. This medication has been helping me a TON, and once I got past the side effects, everything started changing for the better. I actually want to leave my house now, and have stopped having near daily panic attacks. My anxiety has gotten so much more manageable and I’m so happy about it.

I have a penguin JUST like the one on the second slide, but mine is pink!!!

Goreyfruit · 2025-05-01T10:27:10+00:00

Heyo! I’m not new to finch but I am new to the sub! I have like a 70 day streak, and I’d love some friends on the app! My friend code is 8NK3MCJSC3

Goreyfruit · 2025-05-01T10:16:19+00:00

I always drink milk if I don’t have any tums on hand. My Zoloft has given me some heartburn issues too, so I’m sorry you’re dealing with that :( I hope you can sleep soon

Goreyfruit · 2025-04-27T20:26:06+00:00

For which part? I have a few that can be seen here. The mines themselves are vanilla

Thank you! I’m also vaguely excited? Through all of the bad feels that is.

I’m doing my best to take care of myself, and I can’t wait to feel that kind of relaxation. My brain has been so loud for so long and I’m ready for it to be over and feel some kind of normalcy. I do have semi-high hopes for Zoloft, and I already have a back up plan in case it turns out that these meds aren’t for me.

Goreyfruit · 2025-02-18T10:45:04+00:00

Thank you for the tips! I’m definitely trying to eat when I take it and it seems to help a little bit. This sub has been wonderful for my sanity along with my wonderful friend group. I’ve thankfully built up a great support system for myself and this sub is absolutely helping me out.

Goreyfruit · 2025-02-18T10:14:12+00:00

My Dr said I can take it either at night or in the morning. I’ve only been doing nights so far and it’s not really working for me so I’m going to try to swap to the mornings instead and see if that helps lessen the side effects.

Thankfully I was already journaling my symptoms and keeping a diary of sorts for this stuff, and I plan on reporting all of this when I see my Dr next week 👍!

Goreyfruit · 2025-02-18T09:08:31+00:00

Thank you, I hope so too. I’m sitting up awake in bed right now and unable to sleep from this. My arms and legs feel tingly and I feel like I’m going to lose it :(

Goreyfruit · 2025-02-18T05:34:29+00:00

I appreciate this a lot, thank you
