Been missing Zoloft

Over the last few months I have been forgetting to take zoloft regularly and at one point went about 2 weeks without. And have been inconsistently taking and have been recently expericing worse dizziness and headaches than usual. Trying not to thing the worst but realized I missed yesterday’s dose and when looking up to sky for extended period this morning got extremely dizzy and then panicked. Is this a typical side when zoloft is taken inconsistently or should I be concerned and go for MRI?

Yea work is crazy and always running out door!

Hi JG,

Taking any daily Rx inconsistently is naturally going to cause s/e's similar to discontinuation and/or start up effects.

Add to that the fact that you aren't getting the coverage that you need...so here's a huge 'foot in the door' for anxiety symptoms....one of which is commonly, dizziness!

Try your best to get back and stay on track. Use breathing exercises to help relieve any further dizziness.

Hope you are back in the groove soon.

I went off the zoloft for months. It hit me very hard in January of this year. I'm recovering but somewhat more slowly than before. It was awful and still is some days.

It's probably worse to take the meds intermittently than to not take them at all. You should try to learn to be more responsible with taking the meds. Sooner or later I would think it would become habit. You want to feel good instead of feeling like $HlT right?
