zoloft and jittery

Hi again, Just an update and question, I have still been quite jittery and we have decreased the zoloft to 50mg. I am going to have hormone testing and start natural progesterone to help with the period problems next week. Because I have never had good results from the zoloft I was thinking that asking about lexapro may be a good option, with less side effects? My md had recommended adding wellbutrin or effexor to the zoloft but I don't think that is a good idea.

It feels like I have taken alot of mini thins or caffiene pills kind of hyper anyone expierience this? It started with zoloft then Effexor and now I am on remeron which my pcychaitrist says no way it will hype me up but my heart rate is 130 beats a min as we speak. Does anyone else have this expierience I know everyone is different it's wierd.

I did that and my chest pains went thru the roof along with the anxiety and jittery. I have a script for .5 mg Ativan that I half and take. Called psychiatrist and said to go back down to half (12.5) to see if it helps. I take it in the morning as when I took it at night I didn't sleep for 2 days. I have to be at work at 6 am so I take Zoloft 5am. My question is I don't drink any caffeine plus I don't have a good appetite.

read my posts about my zoloft struggle. wellbutrin and zoloft have made me agitated, wellbutrin was very bad and made me jittery, be cautious with the zoloft. you may not be able to tolerate the ssris which is common. zoloft may be more sedative for you. zoloft has seemed to have done well with my anxiety though and i am happy to report that i slept great last night FINALLY with no Klonopin help, i hope it continues. I like what you have to say about compassion and i agree.

I was on Zoloft for several years for anxiety and it worked wonders. I tapered off and after a few months felt that I needed to go back on it. My doctor started me on 50 mg and I felt some side effects, difficulty staying asleep, restlessness, jittery/tingly feeling. After about a week these side effects stopped and I started feeling better. Wednesday my doctor upped my dose to 75 mg. It is not Sunday morning and I have not really slept since Tuesday night before I upped my dose.

HI there, I have been on Zoloft 75mg for 3 months and klonopin .25 daily. I totally understand the jittery caffeine feeling. I have tried to stop the klonopin recently reduced to .125 mg and the jittery feeling worse but I managed. Then 3 days before my period the feeling became much worse. I called md and he upped the Zoloft to 100 which I started yesterday. He told me to resume the .25 of klonopin. MD does not think it is klonopin but anxiety that has not resolved.

I would like to know if I have taken Zoloft for about two weeks, one a 25 mg and now for four days 50 mg. can I stop and how do you di o it and cut it back. My doctor seems to thing I have a anxiety disorder because I worry about my health sometimes. I have had a few panic attacks over the year and became afraid of them. He thought I might try this drug. I really don't like medicines and I am just afraid of them and the side effects. Can you advise what to do.

Thank you. I called the doc and she said to give it the full week on the 50 mg and if it wasn't better by then to go back to the 25 mg and we'll go slower. Hope it works!!

I was on 200 mg of Zoloft and it stopped working last August. Have been on and off different meds all fall and winter and just not working for me. So she has started me back on Zoloft once again but people are saying it most likely will not work again for me, so I am wondering if I should just stop it and start lexapro instead.. I have awful anxiety and panic attacks which I have had for 20 years.. I am just starting to to CBT so hopefully that will also help!!

Hello and welcome! Yes, that's a very typical and commonly occurring start-up side effect. The good news is, it's pretty short lived. Most people report that the side effects start to really improve after a week or two. My experience with Zoloft has been good, I'm on it again now for the second time, and I experienced the same side effect, feeling very "jittery", "amped up", shaky, as if I drank 12 pots of coffee.

Doctor prescribed me Zoloft (well the generic) and I started taking it yesterday. 50 mgs for the first week then if all is well 100 mgs. Today my pupils have been huge all day. Was also a little jittery and felt weird. Anyone else on Zoloft? What about the pupils? This is my first time taking an SSRI.

The doc put me on Zoloft a week ago for my IBS, depression and anxiety and as of today (6 days into it) i've started to become very anxious and jittery. I was just wondering if this is normal or anyone else has experienced this? I'm 20 years old and am used to being very happy and carefree before I got the IBS which induced the depression and anxiety which is a vicious cycle.

i got terrible insomnia and the jitteryness and twitches. but me and zoloft are bffs now. ive been taling it for panic for almost 2 yrs now. im still a bit jittery at times and i even kinda twitch randomly but i can handle it. its not like obvious or anything. youre already ahead of my game, the therapy helps alot too. and zoloft is a very safe drug. im not gonna lie, the first couple weeks felt like hell for me but thats pretty much how anxiety is for everyone.

my head feels like it weighs 100 pounds, and feels all jittery anyone else feeling like this? oo and although this may sound weird iv noticed that zoloft gives me intense sensations to the point of passing out when i orgasam during sex or masturbating, im actually kinda nervous to have sex now cause i dont like the way it feels when i climax. its like im having a super orgasm and then afterward i feel weird as hell, anyone else get this crazyy *** symptom..

I was having panic attack after panic attack, on edge, jittery and very nervous and my head had really funny thoughts nothing really bad just was thinking of weird things!!

I take my zoloft and ativan in morning as it me jittery and causes insomnia. I have seasonal allergies and was wondering the best OTC antihistamine would work better. Allegra, Zyrtec or loratadine. I was on 12.5 zoloft for 2 weeks and tapering up to 25 mg (split another 12.5 in half so 3/4 a pill then one whole 25 mg. I have to do this slowly as I am super sensitive to meds. Thanks for any help. Plus I eventually need to taper down my ativan when I level on the zoloft.

i tried paxil and wellbutrin a few years ago and they both immediately made me feel jittery and even more anxious and i was advised to go off of them. i may be losing a very good paying job soon and i want to stay on something that i can get generic...i ask my doc if i could take remeron on an as needed basis to sleep and did last night and had me first good sleep in 7 days. i am afraid of getting addicted to needed something to aid my sleep and would rather not go down that road.

I have been off of it now for 4 days, and I still am experiencing sweating, insomnia, as well as jittery-ness and restless legs. Can these symptoms be a by-product of withdrawal and still have trace amounts of the Zoloft in my system? Can I expect these to go away in another day or two?

I have been panic free for 8 months (knock on wood) I did CBT, really good, as for the zoloft, I have open journal here and I talk about it, but basically my first round with Panic attacks, I would not take zoloft (waited 2 yrs) then finally took it, zoloft gave me my life back and helped me to get off xanax (real easy). but then this go around, I tried zoloft and it did the same things as you say it did to you, so I said, NO and stopped at day 5 or 6 also. CBT is great!

ve had to increase the dosage twice and am now on 150mg, the first couple days are worriesome I was jittery, and can cause diarrhea, and I did feel a little panicky. it is suppose to give you a boost of energy (per my psychiatrist) but if you are in panic mode you may feel it is just exacerbating your panic attack. It does go away in about 4-7 days. the therapeutic affect doesn't kick in until 3- 6 weeks (per my psychiatrist) but I started feeling a difference around the 3 week.

I have been taking zoloft for 7 days now and I am feeling non stop wrestless and nervous. I can't sleep .. seems my brain never stops thinking! I feel jittery like I can't sit still for long. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and did it go away or did you need to stop the med's? HELP!!!!

If you are experiencing a speedy effect or jittery effect or anxiety, I think it is the wrong med for your system and would ask the doc to stop and switch. If the doc WHINES you may want to switch that too. this has been my experience, we must take ownership of which med is correct, and we determine what side effects are normal, the doctors are busy and spread thin. I think that with thcorrect med you will feel NO side effects and then after about a month....

Called my therapist several time but I guess he is ignoring my calls.Just completed 5 days of zoloft, not sure this is a result of my medication, can't calm down. Any advise would be helpful ?

I had gone to my doctor last Friday to discuss my stress levels (I have a stressful life and job with kids) and he prescribed 25 mg of Zoloft. Many people in my family take this pill and love it. I decided to give it a try......well wammo! I took the first two pills with no issues, skipped a pill the third day and ended up with the worst anxiety I have ever felt in my life.

I was super jittery and even had some kinda twitch in my toes. My side effects went away about a month after being on the pill. I still get a bit of anxiety but mostly when I havent taken my pill at the same time everyday. Other than that 50mg has done wonders for my anxiety. Hang in there.

ve heard about Effexor and Zoloft -- Effexor has a much worse reputation for difficulty quitting than Zoloft, with Paxil second in difficulty. This isn't to say you could have a hard time with any of them, or an easy time with any of them. Nobody can predict what any of these will actually do to you, only generalize.
