What the h**l is wrong HELP?

Question

why is zoloft making me nervous?I feel agitated and my anxiety seems to have increased . Isn't it supposed to help? I am not that much since right now I'm only taking 25mg , but it still bothers me

Answer 1

Two days is not near long enough for the medication to reach a peak in your system. Give it two to four weeks. I know it can be difficult to wait this long, but this is how the medication works. If you don't feel that it is doing anything but the negatives,consult the Dr. who prescribed this for you.

Answer 2

Hopefully this will help, it seems like a side affect :)

Answer 3

This can happen when initially starting Zoloft and usually subsides within a few days, no longer than a week. If it gets worse or isn't subsiding contact the Dr that prescribed it or the pharmacist that filled it for you and ask.Good luck.

Answer 4

Ayo brother chill...

I took zoloft at the age of 14 and the side effects was like HORROR MOVIES,lol. Just ignore them it can give you any feeling but it will work anyway even if you have to endure MORE pain.That's like the antidote methology..kill poison with poison,what we can do mate ? :)

That's what they have out on the market ,that's what they sell..you can try changing the antidepressant but i'm sure it will be the same.Just take your time and ignore those feelings,you will get used with them within 2 weeks.It will be more easy and mild.peace

Answer 5

Tell your Dr. asap. Not all meds are good for all people. He may ask you to wait and see if you get used to it or he may try something else. He won't do anything if you don't tell him you feel it is not working. Good luck and feel better soon!

Answer 6

How long have you been on your medication? It usually takes several adjustments when starting antidepressents for doctors to figure out the dose that works for you, and it may be in fact the wrong drug. You need to report any changes in mood or behavior to your doctor, and he will help you reach the level that you need.

In the meantime take some deep breaths and get some exercise - that should help with the agitated feelings :)

Answer 7
