After another good week I've took another dip in form: low mood, low energy, foggy mind, hard to think and focus on studies).

This dip doesn't seem as bad as the last one which is a good sign. I'm 4 months in and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the ups & downs at this point?

Have any of you stabalised over a long peroid of time? 

Thanks,

Rossy

    Hello everyone , I am totally new to Zoloft never had any medical problems or had to be on any medication until I just could not take it anymore , fell into depression and episodes of anxiety and slight self diagnosed ocd symptoms ! I could not take it anymore and went to see a doctor who started me on 25 mg of Zoloft I was so scared to try this but had to do something to try and recover from this dark hole I've been in . Feeling some side affects such as tiredness and agitation does this subside ? I've had no motivation is this also a side affect that goes away ? Just want to get better and over this situation 😢😢

      Still too early for Zoloft to kick in , don't worry your symptoms will subside just give it from 4 to 6 weeks and you will feel better gradually.

      I started November 2015 on 50 mg and now I'm 100mg and feel better although I still feel anxious from time to time but better in general.

      Hold in there and give it time dear .

    Did anybody get derealization episodes here and there? Ive been on 100mg 4 weeks and yesterday and today ive had mild derealization. I use to feel this way after bad panic attacks and during my first week on zoloft. But is it normal to happen 4 weeks in? Does it go away? Any advice and any experiances will help. Thanks! smile

      hi phil, good to hear you are doing well I'm really glad for you. I think less stress and a good routine is key.

      I'm going through what I hope is just a blip.

      started feeling rotten from Wednesday, my mood just went down and increase in anxiety , yesterday was quite bad. today I'm. a bit better just raving thoughts again . my 17 year old son has been causing me loads of stress not come home for 3 days he got arrested too and I've been awake till 4am worrying about him (not good ) o was really worried because I start a new job next week and thought oh no, please God don't let me go down hill again.

      tell us about you what do you do with your self in France? wish I could just move away and not have the stress of teenagers lol x
