Is this normal?

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.

Hey there![smile](https://patient.azureedge.net/forums/emoticons/smile.gif)
My dose was increased from 100 mg to 150 mg about 2 and a half months ago. I too have this increased heart beat and feeling of anxiousness right after I take my sertraline. I eat on it as well. At first I thought that maybe it was me just making myself anxious because I was scared of the increased dosage, but now, ten weeks later, it doesn't do this every time anymore. Sometimes i dont even feel the sertealine when I take it like I used to, and other times that jitteriness returns when I first take it.
I think it's our body trying to stabilize on the medication in all honesty. It does go away because I've been on sertraline for about 14 years, but whenever we change the dosage or we are new to it it does have these side effects.
