Anyone on Zoloft?

I'm on a low dose of zoloft & I feel a bit nauseous, 'fuzzy', dizzy and tired. I'm not sure if it is the meds or if it is just me.

Does anyone else have these side effects? Do they get better?

Bump for you (+ I might go on this aswell) xXx

Have had all these side effects from AD's.

It'll wear off after 10-14 days.

Then you'll get the true effect of the meds working.

I found that my ADs made me feel yucky for the first couple of weeks but after that the symptoms went and my depression started to lift.

Thanks Idris, it's reassuring to know other people have the yucky feeling for a bit too. Even better to know that it goes away.

Hi feeling yucky

Felt exactly the same when i started zoloft end of nov. Actually felt worse the first week. Doctor has been upping dosage gradually and now feeling better about 6 weeks in. It's tough i know.Good luck

Babyox, I have felt worse this week, physically, than I ever have. It's horrible!

My dose is being gradually increased too and I was wondering, when you increase it do you start to feel yuk again?

Once AD's are in your system and the dose is increased you should be fine!!

Hi feeling yucky

The first few times the dose was increased I did feel a little worse for a day or so til my body got used to it. Now feeling soooo much better. |doctor did say it could take at least 8-12 weeks to see a significant improvement so hang in there x
