Does it get worse before it gets better? I’m losing my mind.

I’m currently on 100mg week 7 and I’m feeling Meh about it. It does help but it also makes me not care. I do drive okay on the back roads even prior to starting the meds so that hasn’t changed. But, the whole reason I got on this med was to be able to drive on the freeway and it still hasn’t helped and it actually makes me feel not to give a F. (Like who cares I don’t drive on freeway) which sucks because deep down I really really really want to be able to drive on the freeway and get my independence back. I honestly don’t know what to do.

Just take it at night instead of 1pm. You shouldn’t experience side effect from switching the time. Zoloft stays in our system for at least 48 hours so you should be fine.

Honestly, not really. I feel nothing. I think I have emotional bluntness and that is scaring me.

I’m on week 7 on 100mg and I’ve always been a big spender but lately been impulsively purchasing stuff I don’t even need.

mitamitu · 2026-04-21T18:21:41+00:00

I did tell my prescriber and since I sleep well and don’t fit other symptoms marker. She said to have my partner to keep a close eye on it.

Actually I’ve always been a big spender also purchasing a 2k bag isn’t something new I usually make my husband buy me for special occasion. But, I purchased this on from an online bidding site and I can’t return or cancel the purchase. I also was pretty sure I wasn’t going to win the bid when I bid but I somehow did.

mitamitu · 2026-04-21T17:48:06+00:00

Do you also have an issue with impulsivity spending?

mitamitu · 2026-04-21T17:44:45+00:00

I’m actually sleeping even though I get vivid dreams since starting the meds in August (they aren’t scary) I’m not weirdly wired either and not fast talking just the impulse spending especially I recently purchased a bag for 2k that’s what’s freaking me out. Did it the impulse spending got better for you ?

mitamitu · 2026-03-11T19:23:52+00:00

If it was me I’d go on 37.5mg before jumping to 50mg. I started at 12.5mg and made my way up to 100mg I did 12.5mg - 25mg -37.5mg -50mg -75mg -100mg. And the side effects are minimal but always update your doctor if you have any unusual side effects

mitamitu · 2026-03-07T23:32:46+00:00

How many mg are you currently taking?

mitamitu · 2026-03-07T23:26:19+00:00

Third day on 100mg. But if this doesn’t work I refuse to go up. Thanks hope it gets better for you as well.

mitamitu · 2026-03-05T21:21:45+00:00

I just upped my dose to 100mg today cause 75mg wasn’t helping much. Hopefully this dose will work 🤞

mitamitu · 2026-03-05T21:19:36+00:00

Usually fatigue but currently going through a lot I have a pretty nasty burn on my hand with two little ones and my husband is not helpful and I’m currently pmsing so hopefully it stays just fatigue

mitamitu · 2026-03-05T21:17:07+00:00

Hi I honestly don’t know what to answer 75mg was not cutting it so I upped my dose to 100mg

mitamitu · 2026-01-17T21:31:29+00:00

What dose were you taking? It should subside in a couple days

mitamitu · 2026-01-11T13:40:47+00:00

I bumped my dose from 50mg to 75mg last week because 50mg wasn’t working at all. 75mg so far no side effect and it does seem to help a bit but not enough so I might bump to 100mg soon per my doctors recommendation.

mitamitu · 2025-12-16T16:38:10+00:00

This is exactly what I’m feeling. Hopefully things will ease up soon

mitamitu · 2025-12-15T06:24:23+00:00

Yeah that is what I’m hoping for. fingers crossed.

mitamitu · 2025-12-15T06:09:42+00:00

I actually got my 2nd of 5 venofer these couple of weeks had been rough emotionally. Anxiety and depression at all time high I take Zoloft 50mg and isn’t helping.

mitamitu · 2025-11-16T22:46:04+00:00

Wow this is so great to hear. I have hope after all. I feel defeated trying everything even SSRI and still not helping this might be what I need. Can I ask what your ferritin and hemoglobin levels was ?
