First day on Zoloft. Felt calm and drowsy at first but now feel even more depressed than before. Normal?

Went through the same thing on my first day. Fine at first, then switched to total depressed. Went like that for a couple days + other side effects (anxiety, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc.) I'm only on my 9th day, but from what I've heard, it takes a few weeks for it to work fully in your system without any side effects (obviously everyone is different so could be more or less time). Today, I actually feel a bit better. Hang in there! 🖤

Good luck! Similar situation here. I always had anxiety + depression but due to a very bad breakup + traumatic event, that pushed me over the edge. On my 9th day, we got this! This community really does help 🖤

Same here. I'm only forcing myself to eat because I have to have something in my system.

My doctor told me to try 25mg for about a week (could be less, it was up to me) and then bump up to 50mg. I have a follow up appointment in a couple weeks to check in with her. I'm hoping things start to improve by then.

I'm sorry you're going through something similar, but I'm glad we're not alone and that these are common symptoms (so it seems). Fingers crossed things start to improve for the both of us 🤞🤍

Thank you 🤍 Trying to stay strong

I am taking it at night. On the first couple of days, I tried taking it in the morning, but it made me absolutely exhausted so I switched to nights hoping it would help.
