Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I have been on Zoloft for 6 months and am really doing a lot better with my anxiety symptoms. However, I am still really tired all of the time and have noticed that my vision does not seem that clear. I am starting to wonder if this is from the medication? Anyone else experience this.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I had that problem with Serzone, and it got really bad. You may want to tell your Dr. My vision only got better when I switched meds. :)

Yup, It's not just Zoloft for me though, I'm like that with all the SSRI's. Doc just switched me to prozac, as its the least SSRI to make you tired. On Celexa i sleep 17 hours a day, and my vision never seems that clear, It also happened to me on Paxil, Zoloft, and Lexapro. When i was on Effexor (SNRI) I was bouncing off the wall- but i couldn't deal with the side effects. I hate medicine, When i am on none i sleep 6 hours a night and wake up feeling energized. However on nothing i have a tendancy to get very dangerous flare ups, I'm basically a lifer.

Yea its no big deal. A lot of medication give you blurred vision. You have to weigh the pros and cons.

Prozac made my eyes blurry. I've changed to Zoloft and wonder if it will have any effect.

I've been on Prozac and Lexapro SSRI's. That was a few years ago. Now I'm on Celexa. I've noticed a pattern with the sexual.. I don't want to say disfunction..more like extreme delay. And, also all 3 at first give me a metallic taste in the back of my throat..for a couple weeks. I felt really good mentally and phsyically on the Celexa for 3 -6 days. Everytime I would yawn I would giggle, that was fun and I was finally smiling again. Then it just stopped. For 5/6 weeks inital weeks I was just hoping to feel like I did the first couple of days :( On the plus side the sexual delay wasn't as bad after about 6-weeks. I did research on my own about the SSRI's and NDRI"s and when I went back to the dr. I asked him about Wellbutrin..he was fine with adding it to the Celexa. This combination of Serotonin, Norepinephrin, and Dopamine Re-uptake Inhibitors seems to be doing me very well.

Yes Zoloft did that to me also. Not on it anymore. I'm on maca. All natural

Zoloft made me really tired and unable to focus and concentrate. I didn't have blurry vision per se, but I did have trouble focusing my eyes on objects. I was lethargic all of the time and lost my drive and ambition. I didn't feel anxious; I pretty much didn't feel anything at all. I would get home from work and just stare at the TV.
