Thanks for all that info Cam, helpful indeed. I have now been on Zoloft for almost 2 weeks. I no longer feel naseaus at all after taking it. The only side effect now I'm finding that my pdoc is asking me to keep a close eye on is my sleeping patterns.
A few days after initially starting Zoloft I found that I was sleeping excessively, 12-14 hours a day. This went on for about 4 days. Then all of a sudden I found I couldnt sleep at all for a couple days. I would try to sleep but would just lay there and then toss and turn restlessly in the couple hours I could actually fall asleep. That started this past Monday and then on Wednesday I went back to sleeping for an excessive amount of time again.
I have found that for a few hours after taking my dose I feel slightly sedated and then about 12 hours after a dose I start to feel hyper. My pdoc initially suggested I take the med after I wake up, which is about 4-6pm since I work nights. He is now thinking I should try taking it right before I go to bed and I'm about to try that and see if that helps any.
Also, one last thing I notice, is that while on the Zoloft there are certain times during the day where I feel "medicated". Almost like a tingly feeling in my arms and head. It is not severe though.
