Zoloft and body Numb?

5 Replies

Anyone on here taking Zoloft? I have been feeling this numb body sensation, as if my head weren't attached to my body. It comes and goes daily, but is unusual. I've only been on 50mg for 2 weeks. Is this normal? Help me someone, understand this.

I stopped Zoloft cold turkey because of feelings of detachment and numbness . A symptom called depersonalization and derealization

Does it go away? I hear people say it does after a bit. It’s the heightened anxiety that causes it.

It is one of the side effects of the medicine. I didn’t really have that problem when I started it, but it took 4-5 weeks for the side effects I did have to go away. Try to stick it out and keep taking it. If it’s too much to handle, call your doctor and let them know and see if there is something they can do.

Being a side effect, does that mean it should dissipate?
