Hi Everyone

I started Zoloft 11 days ago. I did 7 days at 50 mg's and increased to 100 on day 8. I am extremely jittery, shaky and trembling. My anxiety seems to be better but this constant shakiness is really bothering me.

My muscles feel like they are trembling as well

Is this normal? Any tips on how to deal with it?

big jump maybe too soon? sounds like a body reaction to the higher dose. check with ya doc. keep strong.

M.,

I agree with HT! (he is very knowledgeable and easy to agree with) Sounds like too much, too soon.

Set up a consult with your doctor and practice your coping skills (specifically PMR) for now.

Hoping you get the change in your regimen that you need to feel your best...keep us updated.

as a long time Zoloft user-I agree too much too soon. go back to 50 and see how you do. Zoloft isn't the strongest nor one of the weaker ssri. is in the middle and 50 is a good place to stay for a few months at least and go from there. everyone reacts diff to these meds and you need to listen to your body .

I'm sort of an anomaly when it comes to Zoloft. I've been put on it twice and have had zero side effects.

Maybe too much too soon for you as other members have said. I would have said 25 mg would have been better to start with.
