No need for me to use higher strength | Add Sertraline review I took sertraline (Zoloft) for about 2 months to treat anxiety/depression. The drug guide I have, because I am an RN, and my practitioner said I needed to take it for at least 3 weeks to a month to see the effects. After about 2 weeks, I started getting dizzy spells and felt lethargic. This came intermittently. After about a month I noticed the dizziness wasn't near as bad but I could not concentr ... I started at 50 mg...had on-going problems w/ fatigue, so the doctor suggested that I increase the dose to 75 mg. I've experiences weigh gain while using this drug--which I am not happy about. Another doctor suggested that I try Wellbutrin. The online reviews seem pretty mixed--and the side effects many experience during the initial weeks of use sound pretty unpleasant. Any advice?? Taking generic Zoloft 50mg. I've been on it almost two weeks. So far it's helped with my depression and social anxiety issues. And strangely enough, I feel like I have more desire for sex. The first couple days I felt drunk and impulsive, but that went away. However, other side effects hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. Since I've started taking the medication, I've been in the restroom ... Over a period of three days I slept six hours. It is a horrible drug. The first three weeks I noticed nothing, then the insomnia and agitation set in.I stopped taking it after that. | |||
