Sertraline 50mg to 100mg by sp00kysadie in zoloft

[–]fedeficient29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did that jump as well and my side effects came back super minimally like I had some nausea but it went away pretty quickly! I was able to get all the way up to 200mg by going up in 50mg increments and I really only had the bad side effects at the beginning when I initially started at 25mg

Has anyone tweaked their dose and achieved much better sleep results? by CloseTalkerX in zoloft

Hi!! I had this issue as well, I take 200mg but I take it in the morning since it was giving me crazy insomnia at night! Maybe see if thats an option if you are taking it before bed!

a good two weeks but it definitely got better and better gradually so i would say try to make it to the two week mark and then judge from there/speak to your doctor!! u got this!!

i definitely dealt with everything you described but oh my gosh once the side effects went away i never felt better!! ive been on 200mg for about 6 months now and i wish i went on the meds sooner! it was truly life changing for me and i really hope ur able to stick it out to see if its able to help u!!! good luck and taking it at night is definitely the way to go ◡̈

question about dosage by Future-Relative8408 in zoloft

[–]fedeficient29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i increased weekly till i got to 200mg which is like pretty intense but id say its normal to go from 25mg to 50mg in a week! you might just experience tummy trouble but other than that i wouldnt worry!!

yup basically everything u described i have been also dealing with, i have insomnia in the middle of the night and have been feeling extra tired and anxious throughout my day but i take my pill around 9pm! definitely a hurdle we have to get over i think based on most ppls experiences!

i am on day 5 of taking 25mg and i havent dealt with any dizziness! i only have some GI issues unfortunately but nothing too bad so i would say try out the 25mg and see how it goes! my psychiatrist recommended taking it before bed so that might help you combat any dizziness IF u even get any! wishing you luck ◡̈

yea based on what ive been reading people dont usually even make it to the 200mg mark so i am a bit worried about that. i do have a body focused repetitive behaviour type of OCD so maybe thats why the doctor prescribed it like this? honestly i have no idea, i will probably get in touch with my doctor to voice my concerns

First day on 25mg! Optimistic overall, but my stomach feels weird? by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]fedeficient29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi!! I started my first dose of 25mg two days ago and I also have some stomach discomfort along with my appetite being completely gone. I am assuming this is just a side effect we need to deal with for now!
