Hello! (I'm new here!)
About a year and half ago, I started taking Zoloft for my anxiety. Let me first say that it has greatly improved my life. I’m emotionally stable, and generally feel content. The problem is that I’m constantly feeling fatigued, no matter what time of day. Even after a healthy amount of sleep (anywhere between 7 to 9 hours), I still wake up feeling unrested. It’s taken a huge hit on my productivity. Thing is, I’m unsure if it’s the medication or not… So, my question is this: 1. Has anyone else experience severe fatigue with Zoloft? 2. If so, did you try an alternative medication? |

Though, I'm curious... How do you cope with that transition? I imagine going from one medication to another is a difficult process. Old anxieties and depression will likely reappear when you're weaning off your current med to go on another. |
