Thanks for the help! Please please help!

yes. me too when i took zoloft.
sounds like 'akathisia.' truly sucks. it will pass/stop, but you need to talk w/your doc.
reduce, go up more slowly, or even try a different med. if you have a benzo available that will help you too.
i am super med sensitive. zoloft was the first psych drug i was put on. terrible doctor who never even told me about side-effects. just kept raising the dose. i lost about 20 pounds in a month. pacing, no sleep, really thought i was going crazy.
akathisia is pretty common among people that are med sensitive and starting/increasing a med. especially ssri's.
again, make sure to speak with your doctor.
hang-in there. again, it will pass/stop.
