About 3 weeks ago I started taking Zoloft 50mg for anxiety (there's not much that I can take because I an nursing my son-I am definitely considering weaning for both of our well beings if there is a different med i need to take) but it is making me extremely restless and anxious. which sucks because that's why I'm taking the med in the first place. Has anyone else had this side effect?

I need something that starts working right away because at this point the aggitation is driving me nuts. I am so irratable as well. I go to the doctor tomorrow.

It seems like whenever I go to the doctor I always forget some of the things I wanted to say, I need to start making a list.

Hi jlock4507,

I just noticed your post... I know you're giving Wellbutrin a try now. But I just wanted to mention that I had to start on an incredibly low dose of zoloft (less than 12 mg) then work upward to 25 mg. So if you need to try a new med and feel like you may be sensitive in general you can always ask your doc about cutting the pill and taking it a week at a time.
