I think I am going to tell my pdoc on Monday that I want to get off the zoloft. It's about 2 months, though only 2 weeks on 50 mg, and I am still jittery and very tired. I would rather live with my original symptoms than feel like this! I don't like that he wants to give me something for the "anxiety" because, while it's true that I have anxiety, the jittery feeling is much worse than my anxiety! The jitteriness and tiredness is from the zoloft. I can't live like this every day.

I am a little scared to tell him, though I know it's my body and MY decision. If I KNEW these side effects would go away, I'd want to stick with it, but my T thinks it will not get better with a higher dose if I feel this way on 50 mg.

If zoloft doesn't work, how do I know what's a good alternative to try? I want to try at least one more before I give up meds. Or a combination if the pdoc insists that it will take away the jitteriness. He wanted to give me lamactal (or whatever that is) and I didn't want to, along with the zoloft. Do you think I should try that before I stop the zoloft, or just stop the zoloft like I want to?
