My doctor currently switched me from 25mg Zoloft to 50mg and even before the switch I would have super bad head pressure and dizziness, now after 4 days of being on the 50mg I've been having bad headaches every single day that won't let up. Along with really bad anxiety and I can hardly do anything without getting dizzy. Has anyone else experienced this? It's scaring me so bad

I'm afraid to say it is completely normal when first starting and especially when increasing too x it's a case of riding it out for a few weeks until it gets better x if it doesnt after a little while then consider seeing your gp.
I had the same on sertraline myself x

yeah was on 10mg for a week then up to my old working dose of 20mg. I feel like s**t 😓
I'm just so fed up lois x I just want to get better and have atleast a little bit of respite x I'm doing everything I can. eating healthy. exercising. new therapy keeping busy but it ain't helping x
i assume this is the increased dose making my anxiety worse x 🙄
I never had side effects first time round
even when i done the jump from 20- 40mg last time it wasnt this hard x

for the first week or so I didn't feel too bad. probably more a placebo than anything else. sertraline was horrible for me the whole 14 weeks so I was glad to switch tbh. but pretty sure I felt a little better because I knew I was coming off if that makes sense
