Zoloft success story

Hello again,

I just wanted to share an update of my progress. I’m at 12 wks in on 50 ml. 

I’ve now gone more than a month with zero panic attacks and over the last 4 wks my anxiety has dropped immensely. I also take Lopressor for SVT, only 12.5 ml. Between the two meds I’ve not felt this healthy in years! Yes, some side effects like feeling a bit tired during the day remains, but I’m getting more sleep and adjusting. The dry mouth, skin, eyes bother me a bit as does the blurry vision, but I will take that any day over GAD! Best wishes to all of you!

    So glad to read this! I just came in this site to look for some positive success stories. I just started zoloft last night and am feeling really shakey and lightheaded and am hoping this is temporary. Your post gives me some hope! Did you have any start up side effects abd how long did it take for them to mostly subside?

    The sleep side effect definitely seems to be the one that is the hardest to shake. Still not sleeping very well either after 10 weeks!!
