So I'm on day 2 of my new medication which is Zoloft 100 mg. I'm feeling very Dopey, light headed, and I'm still feeling some anxiety. This is normal and if so how long is it going to last?

It takes weeks to build up in your blood so you won't feel better for 4 to 6 weeks. Just curious did you start off with 100 mg?

I'm not sure. You started me on like four other medications at the same time

that's a lot of Zoloft to start out with. I started on 25 and went to 50 after a couple of weeks
