Since a while, I kind of developped med inrolerance.

No med seems to suit me! None!

I feel totally drug on them even at therapeutic dose.

Been on a roller coaster ride with med changes since a year and a half !

At 4 weeks with zoloft, my symptoms seems to increases everyday.

Shaking, nervous , dizzy, stone, blurry vision, anxiety, headache... its almost getting worse instead of getting better.

I see my psychiatrist today.

Might go on lower dose to calm that down.

Anyone did ok on low dose ?

    Hi !

    Been 3 days since I went from 50mg to 25mg.

    Just wonder if its normal to feel a bit dizzy by the end of the day (just around the time to take my zoloft) and also have headaches. I try not to take ibuprophen but paracetamol doesnt really do anything. My headaches are pretty big, in front, top and back if the head.

    Might be some sort of withdrawal symptom???

    Do you think its suppose to last a long time?

    Also, when we change a dose, like me by lowering it, do we gave to wait few weeks to see the results?

    Im better than 50mg by shaking less, etc but its mostly the headaches.
