Sertraline(Zoloft) questions

[Adamj]

yes ive talked to my psychiatrist about this and I kinda got the like hmm 🧐 answer. But Anyway I kind of feel like it may be helping ever so slightly but my like question is like how do you guys deal with the diarrhea, nausea? I also seem to be getting randomly dizzy/lightheaded and chilly and have headaches and body aches/cramps I also keep getting this like crushing zapping sensation on the right side of my head and face I do not think that’s from being sick started with the Zoloft like sometimes there intense then other times it’s like nothing so it’s strange. And sadly the one annoying feeling has come back since starting to Zoloft was I keep getting this cold warm sensation that goes through my chest and down my arms Anyone else experience that? I’m worried that it could possibly be serotonin syndrome

I had all those reactions too i dont think its serotonin syndrome you might just be highly allergic to it thats what my doctor told me when i was experiencing all the bad side effects

[Adamj in reply to Lookingforhope20100]

did you have symptoms all the time? Like I do notice a lot more symptoms a little after taking the Zoloft

[Lookingforhope20100 in reply to Adamj]

mine symptoms were shaking, being cold then hot, leg cramps and just over all fatigue and they kicked in the 1st day i took them

[Adamj in reply to Lookingforhope20100]

hmmm I’ve been on it over 2 weeks now so idk ugh my body sensitive to everything

i would seriously talk to your doctor

Hi,

If the medication seems to be helping, perservere a bit longer. Drugs seem to take 4-6 weeks for full effect.

Talk to your pharmacist about the side effects. There are over the counter things that you can take.

If you find that you really don't tolerate the drug prescription, contact your doctor before the 6 weeks are up.

Prescription medicines can be trial & error until you and your doctor find the best one for you.

Stay positive about the outcome and trust your doctor who has the knowledge & experience to help you.

Hopefully we hear good news soon 🤞

well i took oloft a long time ago and i felt like it was rewriting my neural pathways or something so i do remember the odd feelings you des ribe. For me it did change my outlook onife as it provided a new persoective on my emotional viewpoints.. i think it was positive drug but I stopped taking it once i new there was a different world out ghere other thN the one i was stuck in...

I started telling myself every day,multiple times a day. Life is good!

I am happy! Thats TERRIFIC @ I EMBRACED POSITIVE THOUGHTS..

MY hero was Arnold Schwarnegger

As he was so exaggerated in his talking,eveything was fantastic according to him.. kind of like Dibal Trump talk but not so nutty.

I write myself a personal mantra.

You should do the sammine is

LIFE IS GOOD

I AM HAPPY

GOD IS GREAT.

the God thing is not religious just reminding me i zm not in charge but zm a part of everything happening.
