Taking Sertraline and decreasing dosage and raising dosage
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi all i have been on Sertraline for 20 years and i want to give my experience to help other people as i have more experience than doctors on these the side affects are true and they are awfull you will go through hell on earth sertraline is a strange medication when you first take it most people will feel worse for 4 or 6 or 8 weeks you will go through a very bad time ringing in the ears/ ringing in the brain/ tired/ brain feelings like jolts to the head that go to stomach/ dizziness/ headache /anxiety worse/light headed when moving eyes or neck/very very depressed/pressure around forehead/strange echo ear/feel like ball is in head/lots of crying/these are the side affects i have had every time i decreased the dosage or increased the dosage
After taking this medication regularly for 4 to 6 to 8 weeks
It is the best medication for anxiety your anxiety will go 80 percent this medicine has gave me a life i never thought i could have you will start to have good moments after 4 to 6 to 8 weeks then you go back to another 2 days of hell then your get another 2 good moments then another day of hell then your have a good half day then another 2 days of hell then a good day then another 2 days of hell now it starts getting better you will have 2 good days then 1 day of hell then 3 good days and only 1 day of hell then it will gradually go up to 7 good anxiety days and eventually even out then you will start really feeling better its a great medicine and the best you just have to get through the first 4 to 6 to 8 weeks then your life should be good again so before you take them im going to be honest for most people it will be very hard but to give max 8 weeks for your life to change is worth it you will be so happy you stuck it out and you will feel so much better
Thanks Paul

Hi paul,
I've been off and on zoloft for about 7 years. Currently i am on a dosage of 75 mg but plan to move up to 100 mg in the next week. i just started 75 about a week and a half ago and have been feeling a little dizzy at least once a day. I get a vertigo like feeling or like a feeling where I will be standing up and looking at my phone but all of a sudden I get a brief feeling where im falling over even though im still just standing and havent moved. have you ever experienced this? I'm also currently going through a crying spell where for the last two hours ive just wanted to cry about having all this anxiety and feeling like im never going to get better even though zoloft has worked for me in the past. Since you have been on Zoloft did you ever feel like it would just stop working for you?
