Day 2
Posted , 3 users are following.
hello,
I was taking Zoloft a year ago and my big mistake was stopping thinking I was cured from my life long anxiety and depression .
I started again 2 days ago with half of 25 mg for the first week and will increase to 25 after .
I have a weak stomach so of course I feel nauseated and I feel restless , have feelings of anxiety all day.
I dont remember how i felt when I first started to take many years ago. anyone can relate and give me some hopes? i feel helpless !

Hang in there! The first couple weeks are rough! It will get better though! I was where you are now and I'm a lot better. I wanted to quit too so many times in those first few weeks, but I somehow pushed through. You will too!

thank you for the support. i halved my 50g tablet this morning and had a slightly better day. just managed to eat a hash brown and few bits.
i think maybe starting at 50g was too much for me.

Yes I believe in going slow. My doctor started me at 50 and wanted me to go to 100 after one week. I didn't do that I stayed at 50 for almost 5 weeks, definitely seen some improvement but not where I wanted to be so today I started 75mg. Hoping this is the magic dose. Hang in there believe me I know how hard it is because we just want to feel better. A lot of it is time and finding the right dose, which sucks!

I'm almost at 5 weeks 50mg zoloft. The first 2 weeks were rough with anxiety and no appetite. I couldn't eat for the first 2 weeks and my stomach was nauseous too! I'm happy to say my appetite is back 100% and my anxiety is a lot better! You will get through this initial stage, hang in there!
