    Hi Joanne, 

    Yes i’ve felt Sick and headache, not dizzy though I have had blurred vision. 

    However if your worried go back to 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇 GP or give them a ring. 

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Send God’s blessings.

    I’ve been  in it for one month when did you feel it had kicked in?

    Yes the same things happen to me at night.  It’s only been 2months and I’m hoping it gets better. I just recently went to 75 hoping the shakes and dizziness stop.

    I’ve been on for almost 3 weeks sometimes I get shaky but anything you feel is weird just call your doctor to check. It couldn’t hurt.

    Hi Joanne, I've been on zoloft for about 10 weeks, i have dizziness somtimes, blurred vision sometimes, shaking, headaches. But it is not a constant thing, and not all at once. Its just the drug getting into your system. I must say though , I sleep so much better, it was the first improvement on the meds. I still get anxious when the day is really stressful. I probably need to up my dose, i take 50mg. But if your concerned call your doctor. Take care. 😇
