Zoloft questions

[Jodz]

So it’s day 5 on 50 mg of Zoloft . I’m still getting skipped heart beats ?

Also today I feel so sick in my belly and have head pressure . My hearing seems to but dull ??

Have had an aching jaw and headache last 4 days .

Is all this normal ?

Im on zoloft and still get the skipped beats .the side effects are normal and should settle after a few weeks x

[Jodz in reply to Lauriem4]

Thanx for that . Did you get the head pressure and aching jaw

[Lauriem4 in reply to Jodz]

Head pressure yes but not aching jaw as much x

IT is not normal to have symptoms like this from a medication.

I was put on BUSPAR years ago, and I sucked it up for 36 days, I begged my doc to let me get off..........he finally relented and within 12 hours I felt fine.

TRUST YOURSELF> IF you have to ask IS THIS NORMAL, it is NOT normal for you. You have authority over the choices you make for your health

Yes I realise that but I need to try push through them . I need this tablet to work . My anxiety , panic attacks and now the new one depression has gone through the roof and kept me away from work . Having panic attacks in the car and not been able to get out for 40 minutes . Then crying at every bloody thing , mood swings .

Health anxiety , on edge al day long . Would fall asleep due to my mind and body exhausted due to my anxiety .

I hate taking tablets but this is my last resort and yes if I don’t want them I won’t take them

there are TONS of meds out there.

Your agenda to make THIS work is putting pressure on yourself and the tablet.

I felt the same as you sick and headache is does get better you just have to hang in I was on 50 mg same as you and it can take a while but does get easier I know how you feel x

[Jodz in reply to Woody1010]

Thanx woody 1010 . I’m suppose to go up to 100 mg on Thursday , as it is 50 mg for 7 days . But I’m not sure if I should ?

How long was it before you started to feel better ? Less anxiety etc ?

This is day 6

Sometimes going up to the proper dose eliminates a lot of side effects. Sometimes not, that is the tricky part. For many people the higher dose is way better and a break through!

You say you have health anxiety. Is there any chance you are spending time thinking about each bodily feeling and attributing it to Zoloft? Could some of it just be your body’s function?

Is it allergy season there? (Omg! Is here and it is awful, headaches, lethargy, head stuffed with cotton, etc) I get skipped beats and have for 20+ years and no one seems at all concerned. I am not saying your’s is normal, and you SHOULD get it looked st and worked uo by a Dr., but I do think many people have skipped beats and do not notice or do not care as they are not focused on the body as much as anxiety ridden people.

Hang in there. Call a nurse! They are great! And at the end of the day, you have to trust....trust your gut or your Dr.

hugs to you!!!!

I have been on 3 mth now and feel good much better and having counselling which is helping it take a while to get rid of the sides efforts and like you didn't know what to do for the best read all the reviews and think that help its a long process but worth it in the end good luck x
