I saw my pdoc today. He said that the amount of zoloft I've been taking is like putting a pinch of salt in a big pot of soup! I said I'm jittery half the day and he suggested valerian root or gaba, as alternatives to other meds. I said everything makes me tired and he said that anything for anxiety is going to make someone tired. I already take Allegra for allergies; he thought that or benadryl would help. I keep trying to explain that the jittery feeling is from the zoloft, not anxiety. I guess it doesn't matter what it's from. He also suggested taking the zoloft in the morning. Does anyone take half in the morning and half at night? He said I could switch that way, to mornings so now I wonder if that's also an alternative to morning vs night. He said something about my wanting control. I didn't understand that at all! I just want to feel better than I have before I started the medicine. So we'll see what 50 mg does for me.
