So I’m on Day 15 of increasing my zoloft dose (100 to 150). For the first week my symptoms appeared to have subsided and I felt that it was working. But the past couple of days have been awful. I feel restless and spaced out and anxious. I take the meds at night and usually feel this way in the morning. Should I start taking them at a different time?

    I take mine in the morning as i have difficulty sleeping.

    Try taking them then. It may make you have better sleep & generally feel better. Also Dr advised me to always have something to eat first.
