Hi Jessie,
Everything you're describing is perfectly normal, I went through it too, but please hang in there, it does get better, it will probably take another five or six weeks, but again as time goes on the side effects will lessen, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, good luck, and hope you feel better soon.

Stick in! You are almost hopefully at the finish like give the higher dosage a good few weeks to kick in and you will see the benefit I promise! I experienced the same symptoms going from no emotion to crying in front of my boss the tablets do this, they are mood changing drugs remember and the change in chemicals in your brain will unfortunately give you these symptoms and others, the question I ask is are you willing to go through this hell in order to get your old self back? I was at the end of the road and had no choice I felt, I'm still on 100mg and have been for around 7-8 weeks and the improvement will come piece by piece you maybe have 1-2 good days a week to begin then a few weeks later 2-3 good days it's gradual but hang in there any questions don't hesitate to ask me

Hi Jessie - I'm on 150mg for 7 days now which I've been increasing from the original 25mg. Rverytime there is an increase there are side effects. Zoloft actually has the least side effects compared to other ADs. Like the others have said. It is normal and they will diminish. I'm starting to have some good days where I never had any.
Hang in there.
