Zoloft side effects sertraline hydrochloride

Common Questions and Answers about Zoloft side effects sertraline hydrochloride

zoloft

Avatar n tn t taper off as you should have done before starting the Zoloft. It could be side effects of the Zoloft, which you should have tapered up on slowly to get your brain used to it. It could be overdosing on serotonin, as you're still on the Effexor. And it could be just your same old problems never having been cured in therapy but just suppressed by meds that aren't currently working.
Avatar f tn Please note that there are several moderate drug interactions with your medications, for example, sertraline (Zoloft), pregabalin (Lyrica), clonidine, and methocarbamol (Robaxin) all can increase side effects such dizziness, drowsiness, and impaired thinking and judgment when taken together. It would be a good idea to review your medication regimen with your provider and pharmacist.
Avatar f tn Tremors, especially of the hands, is a very common, but benign, side effect for many of us while our bodies adapt to sertraline. Since we all react to medications differently, there is no way I can predict when this particular side effect will stop for you. Just know that it will.....probably in a few more weeks.
9475243 tn?1405300275 Sertraline has a higher dose for working than Paxil because the drug are different. Sertraline usually starts its therapeutic dose at 100mg. Some do well at 50. Some are highly sensitive to things and absorb them really well while others don't. It usually takes about 4-6 weeks to notice positive effects, although some do notice them earlier. Side effects, though, start right away.
Avatar f tn •drowsiness, dizziness, tired feeling; •mild nausea, stomach pain, upset stomach, constipation; •dry mouth; •changes in appetite or weight; •sleep problems (insomnia); or •decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm. This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
Avatar f tn i take prozac and had NO side effects at all and gradually felt better. i was told that Zoloft was the best and tried it after 2 months of night sweats, insomnia and speed like effects i did some research and was suprised at how much more side effects zoloft has compared to other ssris. get off of it now and try another ssri, dont put up with tremors and dont mask the side effects with xanax. that is my personal opinion.
Avatar n tn I am on 25mg sertraline, day 8 for anxiety and panic attacks - so far only really feeling the side effects and no real relief yet but am very hopeful given all the positive comments I've read online - if I can just last until it starts to kick in. Also hoping that I won't require a higher dosage.
1352071 tn?1276904138 Whenever I take medications like Sertraline, I do have a few side effects when I start or adjust the dosage, but they tend to go away in a couple of weeks. I would stress patience and keep an open line of communication open between you and your prescribing doctor...keep us posted!
Avatar f tn t really work, or may just have annoying side effects, or even intolerable side effects, such as insomnia, or more often being tired all the time. Either one can happen. (One med kept me awake like drinking 20 cups of coffee. The same med put my mother to sleep for 18 hours.) Keep hope that there's a medication out there that will work wonders, and keep searching for it, and understand it's normal for any particular one not to work for everyone. Each one works for some.
1709162 tn?1314084832 worse. I stopped taking the sertraline after 7 days as I could.not stand side effects. Taking diazepam did not help. I am shaking and very.scared about the heart thing and do not know what to do. Sorry for the long.post.
612551 tn?1450022175 Talking to myself? Now 8 days on sertraline and still fatigue side effects, an no noticeable reduction in my troubled ruminations. I will go to the full 50 mg on day 10, and if things get no better I'll ask my doctor for advice. Others have told me it takes a couple of weeks, so I should give it at least that long.
Avatar f tn 6 days is nothing. It usually takes at least 2 wks for it to really work and side effects to go away, for me at least. For depression it acts quicker, but for anxiety/OCD it takes longer, like 6 weeks. Everyone gets headaches with or without zoloft, so it could just be a natural thing that you're attributing to the zoloft. It is good to be safe... but try toughing it out and giving it 8 weeks.
Avatar m tn t ever know if these are side effects of the Zoloft or withdrawal effects from stopping the Lexapro. This should also tell you about stopping the Klonopin abruptly -- it's not about whether you're technically addicted to something or not, it's how easy your brain finds it to adapt back to being without the artificial way medication makes it work. Other medications can't duplicate this because they all work differently and target different receptors.
Avatar m tn I am on sertraline but it is making me very sick. Nausea,runny tummy,headaches,palpations and my anxiety more than ever! Hard time sleeping or eating. Went back to the docter and told him how I felt,my symptoms. You know what he did???? Put me in a pchyciatry hospital because its all in my head! I know my body,i can feel its not working,its making me sicker. My thoart is red and my neck muscels stiff. but he blame it all on anxiety!!
Avatar f tn Venaflaxine side effects not as bad as Sertraline. Cant remember that I experienced any side effects with Venaflaxine like I did with Serdep.
Avatar f tn Whenever I would switch medications, there was an adjustment period where I did feel some side effects, but if you know that it is happening it really makes it much easier to handle. Starting, stopping, or switching any medication can cause side effects...not just ADs, SSRIs, but other medications as well. As long as you are doing this under the advise of your doctor, you are doing the right thing, in my experience.
Avatar f tn So, a trial of 6 to 8 weeks of sertraline is what most doctors do. They will stop this if the side effects are unusual or too much. So, do as your doctor says to see if this is related and if it is not, then you can go back. By the way, are you being titrated up in dose?
Avatar f tn Has anyone else taking Fluoxetine (similar to Prozac) experienced side effects? I have noticed some odd changes in the way my body responds to exercise; specifically, excessive sweating. I'm not sure if the medication is directly linked, but in the past year (I have been taking the drug for about 2.5 years) I break into an all over the body sweat very easily, and it has happened even when I'm not exercising.
Avatar f tn It was the worst 6 weeks in my life. They suspect that i am alergic to sertraline. The side effects were so bad,I thought that I am loosing my mind. I felt so aggresive towards myself.
