I am taking the generic version of Zoloft 50 mg for only a few days, if I take my dose today it'll be my fourth day. I'm really thinking about cutting it to 25 and taking at night as it's leaving me in almost a constant uneasy/anxious feeling and a bit down. (I've never had depression)

I'm not sure what to do, I really want this to work. I know that I am over anxious about taking pills. I'm not sure if that's what's going on or not.

I have bad anxiety, blurred vision, headaches, feeling a bit down, weird feelings in my head, not getting a whole lot of sleep, legs feel funny, upset stomach, pins and needles at times, wake up sweating badly, sometimes just feeling numb and emotionally detached. Right now I'm a little anxious but mostly tired with a weird feeling in the back of my head. I really need advice please.

update - i actually decided to stay on my schedule and break the pill in half so im only taking 25. so far just a little dizzy and upset stomach.

    I started on 25mg for 4 weeks and then 37.5mg for 3 weeks and upped to 50mg a week ago. I felt weird at the start and felt like giving up too. I'd go up slowly unless advised otherwise by a professional. It does get better but try and give it a few weeks 😃
