I am up to 100mg now and absolutely no issues. I actually think I need to go up to 150mg. I was definitely wrong about Zoloft. I simply did not give it a fair chance. But dropping to 25mg until I got use to it really helped. After 2 weeks I went to 50mg no issues and 7 days later (today) went to 100mg and am fine!

Thanks I will hold off on 150. 3rd day on 100mg no issues, feeling fine. Will give it a month.
Thinking back to the start I think the side effects specially the mild tremors and tiredness caused my anxiety and I blamed the zoloft for the anxiety. I was afraid I could not work and it would effect my concentration. So I was actually causing my own anxiety. Soon as I dropped to 25mg I felt a lot better and more confident. |

Glad to hear! I'm sure you're aware that Zoloft can make people loopy and slow down the cognitive thought process and cause sexual side effects. I love Welburtrin and Cymbalta. I do great even taking them at the same time. For me they are activating, weight neutral and don't cause any sexual side effects. I find it's all about finding the right dose and med cocktail! Best of luck!!!

Glad you found out why you had such a negative experience!
I've been on it for going on 6 years, and it has shown great results. My starting pill was 25mg, and then we slowly upped it to 50mg, and now I'm on 75mg. I remember trying out 100mg (even after months of taking it), and it made me feel really odd, so I can only imagine how terrible you must have felt! But I really hope it does the trick for you! Best of wishes!  __________________ "Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
