Common Questions and Answers about Zoloft side effects dilated pupils

zoloft

Avatar m tn At four weeks, you're probably still feeling the side effects of Zoloft. I have been taking it at a very low dose for a few weeks now, and I am still having trouble sleeping. But I've been on Zoloft before, and I know it will get better. I recommend that you keep taking it for at least a couple more weeks and see if it gets better for you, too. Good luck!
484759 tn?1208573669 m experiences most of the listed pysical side effects (dilated pupils, nausea for most of the day, dizzyness, some restlessness etc.), but mentally I feel like I'm alive again and don't want to give up this medication at all. I have corrected the dosage as of today (1 x 50mg/day for the remaining of the 14 days and then increase to 1 x 100mg/day).
Avatar f tn My dr starting me on low dose to decrease the side effects. I take zoloft a night because I'm afraid it will make sleepy. Today after taking my second dose I'm very naurous. Is that common and if so what can I take that will help.
Avatar m tn ve checked, both pupils upon waking will be slightly dilated and slow to respond to light. This goes away after a few minutes of being awake. Both pupils will be the same size. What could be causing this? I'm taking 200mg of zoloft, so maybe this is causing it? Anybody else have the same issue?
Avatar n tn For twenty years--possibly only 15 visits to the optometrist--I have had drops administered that undilate the pupils within minutes. I have not suffered any side effects, ever. That optometrist retired last year, so I went to a new one who said he doesn't use those drops. So my dialted pupils lasted 8 hours; I was forced to drive the 40 miles home with dilated pupils--not safe at all; and I suffered a severe headache from too much light entering my eyes.
Avatar m tn "Dilated pupils are common with high doses" (Wikipedia). The pill is meant to dissolve in your stomach. When you dissolve it in water, it hits your system much faster as you have found out. If you have trouble taking pills, try using fruit juice as the acid will slow down the uptake. But in any case talk with your doctor.
1756199 tn?1312596025 should i continue to take Zoloft with these given side effects? What are somethings i can do or take for sleeping (tried mediation, Prefer Herbal Products ie. Teas)? Should i go to the hospital if lack of sleep comes up again?
Avatar n tn She said that the symptoms were not related to the Lexapro or any interactions but were caused by my anxiety, even after I said I was not feeling anxious. She said that it was way to soon for any side effects to show. She doubled my Atavan dose and told me to take that and to keep taking the Lexapro.
Avatar f tn Is this still the effects of atropine or will the pupils always be dilated?really fsel upset for him as the light hurts his eye and he sees blurry close up.
Avatar n tn My 15 year old daughter was started on topiramate for migraines, 25mg at bedtime. She has only taken 2 doses and is already complaining of feeling like she is in a "fog", is having trouble recalling names and certain words, and feels like her brain is moving very slowly. Her pupils are also dilated. Her doctor said that these are "normal" side effects and "should" go away in a few weeks.
Avatar m tn It has been 3 days since i have taken any of those three medicines and i still have blurred vision and dilated pupils. I was wondering if anyone has had the blurry vision like this and how long the blurry vision could go on for?
Avatar f tn When I came off of it, my doc put me on a taper as I came off of it. I did notice some side effects like naseau and increased anxiety, however I kept an open line of communication with the doc. I asked if it would be okay to go on a slower taper as I came off of it. He agreed and the slower taper seemed to help with the side effects. I am glad that you are seeing a psychiatrist to help you with your medication prescriptions and questions.
Avatar f tn I had terrible side effects from Zoloft not pregnant. I would be terrified to take while I was pregnant. It has to be very unsafe for baby. Hope you feel better.
1174869 tn?1441311668 ve noticed that I get a lot of nausea, dizziness, disorientation, trembling/twitching, dilated pupils, pins and needles and slight heart palpitations (which scare the living daylights out of me), this is affecting me a lot, the thoughts have already been greatly reduced and improved already despite it only being 48 hours. So I do not want to come off of the drug. Is there any way I can reduce the symptoms. I would ring the doctor but they are closed today and tomorrow.
10361664 tn?1409609407 thats why my anxiety got bad...so he wants to up the paxil and take me off the zoloft cause of the side effects. I cant even work im sleeping til 2 in the afternoon and stomach is so upset! Thank you for your input I really appreciate it!
Avatar f tn I believe you can continue to take your Ativan as it is in a different class of drugs from your other meds. BUT.................I am NOT a doctor nor a pharmacist and I will tell you right now that you MUST check this out with someome with real knowledge of the interactions of medications. And that is NOT me! Zoloft, an antidepressant, normally reaches steady state in about a week and in my humble opinion, you should not still be feeling "really anxious and nervous.
Avatar f tn Has anyone here ever taken Zoloft? If so wat were your side effects? I started Zoloft on Monday. I only took one pill n within a couple of hours I felt horrible! I had nausea n diarrhea. Today is Thursday and I still feel nauseas. Keep in mind it took one pill on Monday n no more after that. Please give me some input.
Avatar f tn Zoloft has a fairly long half-life of 26 hours. A half-life is the amount of time it will take your body to excrete 1/2 of the amount of Zoloft in your body. I really suck at math, so I'll leave that up to you. Bottom line though is that it's not going to take very long. Couple days at most. Hell, you only took a grand total of 75mg. Drink lots of water and understand that your anxiety about "withdrawing" from that tiny amount of Zoloft IS just that......anxiety.
Avatar f tn I also prefer Zoloft, but remember they can take a good couple of weeks to even start feeling the benefit. For me, it actually raised my anxiety and mad me feel much more nervous until my body got adjusted to the medication. Now, it was probably two-fold. I am sure there were some physical side effects, but they were also probably magnified because I was already nervous about starting it.
20632981 tn?1503687567 My question is, does Prozac have low side effects like Zoloft but does it work better? And should I be taking a SSRI or SNRI for depression and anxiety, what works better with less side effects?
