My first week taking Zoloft (Sertraline)

[@berthzy537]

Yes, thank you so much for this. I am having the same experience. Was searching for someone who had experienced the same, i am glad I found your video.

[@Alizyran]

First three days on sertraline - constant dizziness, occasional nausea, insomnia, and headaches. Oh and dry mouth. Oh and my anxiety is so much worse

[@FeelingIsHealing]

I'm sorry to hear that. I just started Sertraline again 5 days ago so I'm experiencing similar symptoms. How are you feeling now?

[@rwntje]

@@FeelingIsHealing i just started again too im on day 8 i have every side effect in the book but my panick atacks are slightly getting better 💪🏽keep going

[@Alizyran]

@@FeelingIsHealing My anxiety is still high but the other things have gone now. Hope it passes for you!

[@FeelingIsHealing]

@@rwntje Thank you for the words of support, I hope the side effects have lessened for you by now! Take care 🙏

[@FeelingIsHealing]

@@Alizyran How are you doing now? Hope you're doing okay 🙏

[@aquarius9900]

im on day 1 ...24 hours have gone by and im having side effects of feeling wierd and sweaty and twitchy and no sleep...

[@marioavila9021]

Aquarius how many mg

[@marioavila9021]

Aquarius any intrusive thoughts

[@FeelingIsHealing]

I'm sorry to hear that Aquarius, I had the same symptoms minus the sweating on the first day. How are you feeling now? Hope you're doing better.

[@danjohansen9986]

How you feel now

[@Wilderness449]

Thank you for this. I was worried that I was reacting badly to this drug, but now realise that the first week can be hard, and that is normal. Anxiety is worse and my head feels like it’s full of water. I hope you are doing well now.

[@josephclarke645]

I’m in the first week of sertraline. I noticed it made my stomach really hurt for the first 3 or 4 days. It seems to have subsided now. I am dreaming every night and they’re pretty vivid and clear. It’s almost so vivid that it doesn’t feel like I’ve slept. I think it’s working so far 👍🏻

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Hey Joseph, I'm glad to hear that side effects are subsiding for you! I can definitely relate to the vivid dreams, almost spookily clear! Hope you're still doing well? Take care 🙏

[@josephclarke645]

@@FeelingIsHealing thank you 😊 the stomach pain was excruciating at times but it’s all gone now so all good! Yeah the dreams are so vivid and clear. I’ve been on it about 3 weeks or so now. It seems to be having an effect on my mood. It can definitely take the edge off situations where your mood would go lower. I hope the longer I’m on it the better it gets 👍🏻

[@7793nvt]

I’m on Day 4 and the first day I had a mild fever and a headache, but I have been exhausted ever since. I can sleep until well in the afternoon. I have like no energy. I can’t wait for this to pass

[@FeelingIsHealing]

I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time with it. Hang in there, I hope the side effects pass soon for you, sending well wishes 🙏

[@MaronXchiaki]

You seem like such a sweet guy. Hang in there ♥️

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Thanks Mingyu. Wishing you well 🙏 💚

[@hawaiilife8084]

Just grabbed the meds from the pharmacy… didn’t actually want Zoloft , I was thinking I needed Adderol to help me stay focused and get my stuff done… Thanks for the video… after reading the comments, all the side effects and all,,, it sure I wanna start… I have to teach teenagers tomorrow and don’t want to act weird or feel out of it… probably wait til the weekend to begin this… I’ll chime in again - thanks

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Sounds like a good plan! I'm wishing you the best with them, let me know how you get on. 🙏

[@mohammadkhadra2604]

Zoloft was the most commonly prescribed antidepressant in the USA in 2018 with over 38 million prescriptions.

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Interesting! I think it's the most commonly prescribed SSRI here in the UK too

[@janesushams7010]

Ihave gad dep thanks for blogs helping ur voice is so calming

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Thanks Jane! Take care 🙏

[@emmae6771]

Did anyone feel slow and have muscle soreness there first week taking this medication?

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Hey Emma, I did feel slow, the first couple of days especially, no muscle soreness though. I hope you're doing okay and the side effects are beginning to pass 🙏

[@Kduckss]

I had muscle soreness during the first week as well!

[@sulfarussulfarus3378]

I am going to start tomorrow with 25mg and I have on a Wednesday a work presentation I really hope this won’t affect it

[@FeelingIsHealing]

All the best with your presentation! Fingers crossed regarding side effects 🙏

any updates?

How are you feeling?

[@adeel-eh7xq]

I take it for mild social anxieties and repetitive and compulsive autistic routines. I feel better but the side effects are annoying. Headaches and nausea.

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Hey Adeel, thanks for stopping by! That's great you're feeling better, side effects can definitely be a pain though, nausea is not fun

[@jayroberts4900]

Alright matey, thanks for the video first off.. I'm only on day 2, I take it in the morning, definitely notice a quick speed rush around high energy when first ingesting it. Headaches are there and appetite is gone. These aren't too bad, however I am noticing I'm just kind of zoned out/confused, did you get this? I know where I am etc.. I just mean, feeling different? hard to explain

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Hey Jay, my pleasure. I can relate to the zoned out feeling, I think it's fairly common, it eased off over time for me & I no longer have it. Whether that's because I just got used to it, i'm not sure. Worth keeping an eye on though, see how you go. All the best 🙏

[@jayroberts4900]

@@FeelingIsHealing thanks for the reply man. Day 5 for me. Headaches eased off, don’t get that ‘speedy rush’ I got the first day or two! That was crazy I must say😂 hard to explain the zoned out kind of feeling, I know what’s going on around me etc.. just sometimes feel a little disconnected, however I’ve took citalopram in the past and remember experiencing something similar! Think it’s purely a case of getting used to it! It’s still very early days for me anyway!

[@FeelingIsHealing]

My friend just started on citalopram and says the same thing about feeling zoned out. All the best with it man, keep me posted on how you’re getting on 🙏

[@nailaalahmad2607]

@@jayroberts4900 wondering how you're feeling now .. any updates?

[@jaymac6292]

what mg did you start at?

[@FeelingIsHealing]

25mg, then went up to 50mg later on

[@jaymac6292]

@@FeelingIsHealing im having a hard time just trying to start 12mg lol

[@gregorycain1249]

Rapid heartbeat??

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Hi Gregory, I only experienced a rapid heart rate on the first day of taking it. Hope you’re doing okay 🙏

[@johnnyoldskool6504]

Gregory Cain …. Yeah I’ve had a couple of random rapid heartbeat episodes both of them at night when I’ve woken up It’s like a panic attack but I don’t feel as agitated but it’s still kinda scary, I’m on week 6 now I done 4 weeks on 25mg then they upped them to 50mg they have taken the edge off my anxiety and depression which is good but I’m still not feeling myself at times between 8 & 12 weeks I’ve been told for maximum effect of the medication so I’m going to hang in there and see what happens I’m hoping I don’t need to go up to 100mg but if I need to then I’ll just have to but it is very rough at times on this medication…. How are you getting on I hope all is well?

[@janesushams7010]

Im on day 7today so far just keep waking up to early eat less but stil continue as I have gad dep

[@FeelingIsHealing]

Hi Jane, thanks for stopping by! Side effects can last a few weeks, though the worst of them passed within the first week for me. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

[@Cosmic_Observer33]

So you didn't get nauseous??

Off of it i couldn't take it no more to much

Oh okay. Some medications work for some & not others, we just have to try and do what's best for ourselves. Seems like Zoloft is not for you, wishing you well for your journey on figuring out what's best for you! Take care.
