I'm kinda nervous to start the Zoloft tonight. I'm scared that it is going to make my anxiety worse until it gets into my system. Dr said that will take about 2 weeks.

Anyone else that is on this that can offer some advice would be great. It's kinda nerve racking especially after the allergic reaction to Kolonopin. Thanks in advance

DAWN,

It is ok to feel a bit anxious as you take your first dose of Zoloft and yes, the first couple of weeks you may feel jittery.  Do your best to give the med a full two weeks and soon you will notice that life is just a bit easier and anxiety is not always on your mind.

You may want to call your pharmacist to ask what types of adverse side effects you may have with Zoloft ?

Good luck,

Kitt

Hey there, I am on my 3rd day of zoloft, and really have not had any problems that weren't already there before I started. I think that when we worry and assume the side effects will bother us, we tend to look for them. I have klonopin too, and I have been pushing through without. Please give it a chance, be brave, and hey what if it works?? You will never know until you try right??

I just started Zoloft again. The first few days were stressful, but were manageable. I do not know if it was because of the medication or that I was in bad shape. I took xanax when needed. Now I feel better it is working for me, I plan on asking if the dr. will up my dose.

What kinds of side affects can I expect?

Dawn it would be best to ask the pharm. they can print it out for you, but don't sit down and predispose
yourself to have side effects, the majority of people have none at all, let's just assume you are one of
the luck ones. Your still here after all you have been through, it cant be any worse than that and it just
might be a breeze. Peace
