just started zoloft

I have been on it about 4 days. Does anyone get like jaw quivers every once in a while on zoloft?

Naman,

No personal experience to share...but yes, I have read of this happening to others here.

You can do a search and see if it is in our thread topics here.

I hope that this subsides for you quickly...use your coping skills to get you through your start-up!!

S.C.

I've never been on Zoloft personally, but yes, I've had those "jaw quivers" from other things.

It's like my teeth are chattering and nooooo, I am not cold!!

Bring it up to your doc.

Oh, and yeah, I'm also a jaw clencher and grinder, so no doubt that adds to it. BUT that being said, I had those experiences separate from all the clenching stuff.

MBU, I don't understand why some doctors increase the dose so quickly and so high, my doctor did it slowly, maybe because I am a freak about medication, but when he went past 100 mgs that's is when I had my issues with being very shaky and to go back down and eventually off of it, but thus far it was the best medicine for my depression/anxiety.

The question in my mind is if you doctor went low and slow, which is what works best for me because of my fear of medications, would you symptoms have been less or if it just wasn't the right medication for you.

In my mind I build up a tolerance and don't want it increased fast, let my body adjust on a slower pace, yeah I had terrible anxiety, but my doctor never increased me like that, it took him almost a year to get me up to 100 mg's, and kept me there for quite a while, and then when I went above that dosage, It made me so shaky and yucky.

I think I should have just stayed on the 100 mgs and worked through the minor set back I was having.

i had a horrible side affects from zoloft ...i wanted to die ..now im on lexapro
