zoloft

Avatar n tn I have thought of upping my zoloft and the doc says its up to me but will I get the same side effects as I gid when starting? If I go from 25mg to 50mgs. Or should I go up to 37.5 first?? Any suggestions??
Avatar n tn If his anxiety first started at night, or usually occurse at night, then it will most likey always occur at night. That's how anxiety works. We become anxious or fearful of those anxiety symptoms, especially when we "know" when those symptoms are going to hit. It's a self-fulfulling prophecy.
Avatar f tn I was thinking of taking the Buspar in the day and the Zoloft at night? Any suggestions? 2) I am a little confused with the Buspar order. The insert/instruction state to take it on a regular basis to achieve a theraputic level. Will it help to take it whenever? Since my anxiey is pretty extreme now, I thought perhaps I should take it daily. Suggestion? My doctor did not explain anything to me. 3) Will I have a reaction starting both at the same time with no dose increments/increase?

2049945 tn?1333871610 It sometimes feels as though wow I am going to faint-but you never do? In the morning you feel much better? This has been happening since last Friday. Anyone else experiences this? I am on 50mg of Zoloft once a day on mornings.

Avatar m tn ve been told by my doc that in the morning the serotoin levels in the brain are at their lowest, which is the hormone that is connected to mood and emotion. Hence why when we are anxious or depressed the doc's give us SSRI drugs. This is one reason why you proberly feel at your worst first thing, also you may be worried by what the day holds for you and so this plays a part.
11638679 tn?1457985940 I feel very depressed and was wondering if i should give the meds a try? right now all i do is drink beer and stay in my room. I had a job at a liquor store but i got fired and they didn't tell me why, and i also lost my first love and after all that happened i turned to alcohol. I can't even go in public without getting very tense and spaced out, like i feel like everyone is watching me and judging me.
Avatar m tn The pill I missed was the last day of the first week in my pill pack. I usually take my pill around 6pm, but after I forgot this, I took the pill I missed today around 3pm and plan to take my pill for today at my normal time. Do I need to take a Morning After or Plan B pill? Or am I still protected?
Avatar m tn m going to try meditation instead or just reading a book my problem is getting to sleep and staying asleep. Maybe you should try taking your Zoloft in the morning. Per website the most effective hours are between 4-8 houtrs so it's working and waking you up in the night. I switched yesterday and didn't feel that drama like I usually felt last night just couldn't sleep,but like I said that was nerves ...
1012810 tn?1260749658 You can take zoloft night or mornings but if you been taken it at night you might need to talk to your Doc about switching to Mornings before you just switch on your own...
Avatar f tn I also take Trazadone at night to help me sleep.
4981427 tn?1371670469 I only tried Paxil for 8 doses because I was getting really blurry vision, but first he tried to put me back on the zoloft in the morning at night until the paxil kicked in so ultimately i only missed three days of the zoloft. It just seems like the improvements are so minimal i'm wondering if its from the xanax in the morning that is giving me the improvemetn.
1330182 tn?1279815900 t tolerate anymore is the abdominal cramping that lasts from the time I get up around 7am till 4 or 5 in the evening. I have tried to bump up my dosage to 5mg but it makes the cramping and loss of appetite worse. Should I consider going back to Zoloft? I don't remember having this hard of a time with side effects when starting Zoloft.. I thought that maybe starting out on 12.5 or 25mg would be more effective than Celexa in calming my GI tract..
1116122 tn?1268496794 t been working as effectively- I find myself feeling exhausted and frustrated quickly at the end of the day, with a compulsion to become reclusive. While I have fantastic friends- many of them my next door neighbors in my apartment complex- I panic at their knock and tend to hide for fear of them knowing that I have been crying or feeling miserable.
Avatar f tn I have had very positive experiences with meds like Zoloft and Lexapro, but remember they can take a good month for you to feel the benefits of it. Whenever I start, stop, or adjust the dosage of a med like Zoloft or Lexapro, I notice some side effects, but they usually subside in a couple of weeks. I also believe that medication is only part of the answer. I believe that the most important step is going through counseling.
Avatar n tn I have been on Zoloft for around 11 years also and the same brain zaps happen to me,I take 100 MG a day in the morning and by 2 or 3 am I start getting the zaps. I hate this and no doctor can help .
462361 tn?1207858977 You may also want to try taking the Zoloft in the morning as it can cause restlessness.
Avatar f tn Lastly, like I said earlier in the thread, therapy is also a vital component of anxiety treatment. The Zoloft is to help manage your symptoms, but the therapy aspect is what will help you learn how to cope with the anxious cycle of thinking. Taking the Zoloft alone isn't the "fix". Please keep us updated and let us know how you're doing on the Zoloft. I'll be anxious to follow along with your progress. I really hope it helps you!
Avatar m tn therefore, i took xanax and my GP gave me zoloft. one first night of zoloft i went nutts, got up in middle of night with fear of taking my own life. anyways, my wife assured me its just a bad dream. then on fourth day of zoloft i was having suicidal thoughts of huring myself and family with sever anxiety. told me wife to take me to hspital and they gave me xanax/atavan and it took the symtoms away. since then my psychiatrist told me to take xanax 0.
Avatar f tn it makes my blood pressure go up temporarily from 115/74ish to 137/82 or so. is this a normal thing in the morning? It is causing me to wake up in the night with panic attack like symptoms. I have been to a card. and had ekg, stress test and echocardiogram. thyroid fine sugar levels fine. This is only in the morning and middle of the night.Doctor can't find anything wrong and want me to take antidepressants. I am totally fearful of med. and side effects.
Avatar f tn Hey all, I'm kind of stuck right now, I'm a 19 year old male (5'6,150lbs) and I've been taking zoloft for 2 years. I've been on 200 mg for about a year and I just have gone done to 150mg. This is for my anxiety, OCD and depression. Ive been on 150 for 3 weeks now but yesterday I swear I cut a pill in half and my mom even remembers me doing so, I took the 150 and that was it. But the other half disappeared, I don't know if I took it by accident or what.
Avatar m tn I take zyrtec or allegra with my zoloft and I just take it the opposite of when I take the zoloft. Like I take my allergy meds at night and zoloft in am. I'm not sure if it matters, but that's how I do it.
Avatar f tn me and my boyfriend had sex the night before last, the condom came off in me and he said he came in his hand, i am on birth control, i take it everyday but not at the same time.
7389797 tn?1390595724 I experienced the jittery/wired sensations after I first started the Zoloft the first day (I take mine at bedtime), and it started improving after about 5 days or so. It was annoying but tolerable. With each dosage increase, the jittery feeling was less severe and definitely didn't last nearly as long, maybe about 2 days, but it was present for sure.
