Was wondering if anybody else experienced slight racing heart around 2 hours after taking zoloft. It is just like I'm starting over again on it. Maybe its just kicking in. I take my pill at 9 in the morning. Haven't missed a pill. Maybe need to up my strength. I take 50 and its 7 weeks in. Thanks for any reply.

Yes, Brenda, I think it’s more of a anxious feeling, also butter flys in my tummy.
However, I take mine at 4.00 PM in the afternoon.
Still feel very sad, seeing GP on Tuesday hoping it will get better. Any sound advice will help.
Hope you feel better soon Brendar.🦋

Thanks Blondey,
I thought so too, but wanted to see if others had this phenomenon. Sometimes I put things in my head. 😏but I have noticed some clarity in my thoughts. I'm not use to having that. I don't get the butterfly feeling, I eat oatmeal and than take pill. I figure it would cushion my tummy, so far it has helped since I got a touchy tummy. Good luck on gp appointment, let us know how it goes. Take care stay strong.

I was just thinking about that. I might have to go up some. Giving it 3 more weeks than I'll call my doctor. Let me know how it goes, especially if you get side effects. On this forum they say if you go up you might have them again but not so bad. But now since we know what to expect it won't be a surprise. Then again you r showing improvement, so hip hop hooray. Keep me informed I'm all ears.

So sorry to hear, did you increase your amount. If so that could be the reason, not to say that it's to strong but to say that when you increase your strength in zoloft you will have the side affects again. At least that's what I have read here. Let your doctor know if you can't handle it, after all that's what we pay them for. Just keep telling yourself that it's the zoloft, not you. That's what I do. And then I take a deep breath and I try to slow my thinking down. I hope this helps. Hang in there, stay strong ,

You know that it seems to have eased some. But I do have a different frame of mind about it, the Zoloft must be kicking in. I probably just jinxed myself lol. I still occasionally get a fast heart beat, then I remind myself that it's all in my head and not in my heart. For me it seems to work. Hopefully we will be whole again, in mind,body and soul. Take care.

Ida, yesterday I took my zoloft at 2 p.m. because of my eye and doctor appt. Well this morning I wroke up and the anxiety wasn't there. So I'm thinking maybe since I usually take it at nine that it was wearing off which caused my morning monster. Not sure but I'm going to experiment and take it at 12 today . Well I'll let you know tomorrow. Take care.🤔

Do you take yours a.m. or p.m. when ur counselor gets back to you ask if it matters what time of day you take it. Like I said I am really experimenting right now. I read somewhere that cortisol is highest in the morning. So I would think that is when I need the relief the most. But I'm not a doctor and I can only speak for myself. But I will keep you updated. Take care, be strong. 😇
