I am trying to decide if I should keep taking it for a bit longer or call back the resident I saw. I feel like I am a high maintenance patient with all my med sensitivities and more than one diagnosis to treat. Honestly, I am a little worried they are going to get frustrated and say they have no more options for me.
I met up with my friend outside for lunch today. It was a beautiful sunny day. We found two tables where we could space out. It was nice to catch up. Not much else to report. Wishing everyone well.

Hi yellow,
How long have you been on the Zoloft for?
When I first started Zoloft, it made feel sooo agitated/restless/anxious for the first few weeks... like I was just crawling out of my skin. My provider told me to try to continue it and I’m glad I did, as the symptoms totally resolved after that. I’ve now been on it for over a year and it has totally helped my depression and anxiety.
Often times symptoms get worse before they get better with new meds.
Might be worth trying to stick it out for a while. But if the symptoms get too bad let your doc know of course.
Also you might be able to change when you take it to help with the sleep issue.
Sending good thoughts your way 💫
