Extreme Fatigue & Sertraline

Hi, Rose,

Thank you for responding. I've been on Zoloft for about 15 years. I began taking it for panic attracks. Whether it was plecobo effect, or not, I don't know for sure, but my panic attacks stopped. Now, I take it for depression, which has been unbearable for the last 5 weeks. I had to bring the dose back down a few days ago. The fatigue was just too extreme. I couldn't move.

I replied but can't see it. Iv been on 200mg for 4 weeks and I feel so zoned out and like I'm not here but it might be the depression and anxiety I'm unsure. I don't feel as panic strucken but I feel like I don't care about anything my judgement is off. 15 years is so long I doubt it will still be working as my phyciatrist said this about my meds of 5 years

Hey, Ross,

I've been on Zoloft for 15 years. However, I had been taking it in several doses throughout the day, but just recently my dose was increase to 200mg, and I also began pulling the doses closer together during the day. I'm sure my blood level when up significantly. You feeling zoned out is no doubt in part from the Zoloft. I certainly experienced that feeling of being zoned. And, as is the case with me, your anxiety and depression is probably not helping matters. Are you having any muscle fatigue and/or physically exhaustion?

Hi, Rachel,

Did you start with 200mg a day? That is a hefty starting dose. I'm not surprised you are feeling the way you are.. Are you having any physical exhaustion or muscle fatigue? 

Thanks for the reply. Haven't been getting msg notifications. I feel very zoned out. Tired but awake if that makes sense. Also very irritable. I'm always tired that's one of reasons my dose was upped

No I started at 50mg in march and it's been worked up to the 200mg bit at a time. I don't want to do anything I'm a different person

I don't feel moody I feel flat mainly nothing gets me mad on this med it's weird

I'm exhausted buy not in a go to Sleep way it's like a heavy head hung over feeling like my brains can't hack it anymore

Sorry, Rachel,

I can identify with you..

How do u feel? I think it's the depression. It's like my head can't think straight and I feel fogged over. My head is heavy and feels like it wants to shut down I bit of a dizzy feeling
