Vivid dreams/night mares on zoloft

Hello everyone

Ive been prescribed 50 mg of zoloft 25 mg for the first 8 days i am on day 8 now and already feel that during the day i feel a lot better than usual. Which is clearly a good thing the issue i am having is when its time for bed i shut the tv off and roll over to fall asleep but at this time my mind begins to run faster than ever unable to get it to calm down which is very scary times but right when i feel i cant sleep i fall right into that spot of just sleeping not to deep or anything and i start having these vivid life like dreams/nightmares which wakes me up and i feel as if it was real life and puts my anxiety and panic disorder into a tizzy and makes me fell like i am losing my mind if anyone out there feels the same or can relate at all i would love to hear from u to soothe some of my worry thank you

Thank you for your reply i called my pcp this morning she is the one that put me on the zoloft to explain to her what side effects i am having she wants me to try and push through it for another week and in the mean time gave me xanax for the racing thoughts as needed but im afraid to b overly medicated as i have 4 daughters. And she told me to get an appointment with a psychologist for further treatment with this
