I was so dizzy had brain zaps had to be in bed. Called finally after 3 days got a call go back to 50mg. I still can't leave my house it's been 51 days now and I still feel sick at the thought of leaving my safe zone. I've been on Zoloft for a total of 4 months or so, can't remember it seems I have adverse or rare reactions to meds. I can't sleep at night and it's awful I lay in bed for hours and can't sleep it's like my brain won't shut off. I'm so tired all the time with headaches ears ringing and irritated. I can't remember things and sometimes I say sentences jumbled up or I stutter.

    Yesterday I took my pill and for the first time had trouble sleeping, usually I'm out like a light bulb once the pill kicks in! But I was taking like my 3rd nap of the day!

    So sorry to hear this AJ. I am on 9 weeks aswell but I'm feeling alot better with my moods. My anxiety is still a bit out there. Some strange sensations going on aswell.

    Have you told your doc about not sleeping. You may need a little help there hun.

    I have diazipam and a sleeping pill if required but I try not take them

    Good luck
