So I am at the 8 week mark on Zoloft, and two weeks since increasing to 100 mg. Last week I felt amazing. This week, not so much. I'm feeling anxious, and can't sleep. Most days I'm better, but I'm having occasional bad days. Is this normal? I'm waking around 3 am and can't get back to sleep. The mornings are rough, but by around 9 I feel fine. Are these side effects? I don't want to increase my dose again without giving it enough time to work. I hate this roller coaster. Last week I felt amazing. What happened??,

      I take it at night. I was on it before and always took it at night. I don't have any trouble falling asleep, it's staying asleep.

    I'm 9 1/2 weeks on 150 and I am going through the same. Good and bad times. You've only had 2 weeks on your increase, it is normal to go through the same things with every increase.
