Anxiety is horrible/Zoloft

hi everyone has anyone taken Zoloft 25mg, i took it last night for the first time, anxiety worse today and my stomach is racing like crazy, not hungry at all. Feel so crappy today.

Please advise

Hi Diane the first two weeks are the worst then side effects should get better good luck

Stick with it if you can it'll b a rough ten days but stick it out all the side effects pass

Hey Diane im sorry you're having a rough time, unfortunately it gets worse before it gets better. I started on 50mg for two weeks and i was so close to giving up but i stuck with it and raised to 75 for a week then for 100mg and I've settled here for now x it really does work hun, you arent alone xx

Does anyone know if Anxiety makes you lightheaded and dizzy when you eat food, or at anytime at all?

I'm trying to figure this out, don't want to go see the doctor again.

 

Oh it definitely does !!!

Anxiety does my horrible physical symptoms believe me :-(

Try to do breathing exercises and muscle relaxation as well.

My advice to you is to google anxiety and your condition and do lots of research so you understand what you're going through and how it effects your body as everyone is different and have different side effects. That way you won't be so frightened hun

Thank you everyone for your advise, i noiticed no one is taking 25mg like me, so i guess this low of doage doesnt work?

You get started on a low dose and work up till you find what dose works for you x the first 2 weeks are the hardest hun x stick with it x do you have any diazepam to help with your side effects?

no how does diazepam help with the side affects, what is diazepam.?

I knew to all of this and i was in denial and really do not want to take this medicine but i can't fight this anymore.

I do take 25 mg since December. smile

It does work for some people. Depends on problems I guess.

I haven't got depression but anxiety.

I didn't know what happened with me in August because I've had terrible physical symptoms.

I feel better. Not perfect, but definitely better.

Are you from the UK? Diazepam is given to us with panic disorder, panic attacks and heightened anxiety to calm us down and take it all away. Say if i feel im about to have a panic attack i take a diazepam and it stops it. This is only while the antidepressant gets into your system properly and starts working. It helps with the side effects hun

May i ask what kind of symptoms? i only have anxiety as well.

Diazipam is valium a benzo it calms u down an stops the symptoms of anxiety an calms u its a nice med but addictive if ised for more that 4 weeks its a great drug if needed

25mg is a starting dose or sometimes ised in teens 50mg is generally considered a theraputic adult starting dose. I started 25mg for few days then upped to 50 mg

My symptoms was terrible diarrhea -woke up middle of the night shaking and had to run to the toilet. Heart palpitations, light headed, hot flashes, muscles crunch mainly in my legs. I felt I am not able to walk ( I was but the feeling was so weird in my legs and arms ). Zero appetite, terrible tired. It was awful!!!!

What's your symptoms? X

Unfortunately my surgery didn't give me diazepam sad

I have had before and worked but here they don't give anyone...

There must be something they can give you? To take the edge off the increased anxiety?

That's why I've got Sertaline. I was scared to take it because I felt so terrible and I knew this won't work immediately. I haven't started with 50 mg only with 25 mg and I haven't had terrible side effects.

Ive been on it for just over a month and now at 100mg and it was really tough babe i won't lie to you but i feel so much better so you need to stick with it and up the dose slowly, i did two weeks at 50 then one at 75 and now just over a week at 100mg x
