Please never get off your meds without the help of your dr. that is very important. Zoloft has diffrent effects for everyone it seems to be working for you the vertigo isssues that is something you should be discussing with your dr. But yes drugs can keep you a bit foggy for a while.

Have a good

You are right, you have been on the meds long enough to feel its full effect, just long enough. By vertigo, I assume you are saying dizzyness and the feeling of "the ground moving". That's a common side effect of the med your on and now that it fully working in your system, you are finally feeling the side effects. Your body may adjust, but it very well may not. A higher dose would increase the vertigo, if anything you need less. Discuss this with your doctor, he may want to give it a bit more time to see if it subsides. If not, you will either need a lower dose or a different med.

I too am on the zoloft. When I first started a couple of months ago I started at 100 It took a little while and I started feeling pretty good. Then I started feeling bad again so my doc upped my dose to 150. thought I was feeling better and then boom I am now feeling crappy again. I started 200 a few days ago but still have not noticed any changes. I have shared in other posts that my kids are home right now on xmas break and it is very difficult for me when they leave again and that is this weekend so my anxiety is at an all time high. I miss them so very much. I do have an appt with my doc on the 21st so will see if I need to switch or what is going on. I also suffer with hypothyroidism, depression, and I am on hormone replacement. I am a mess. I too suffer from vertigo type feelings at times and light headed and dizzy. I am not sure if the zoloft is the right thing or not. Keep in constant contact with your doc. sorry you are still having troubles.

75 mg seems a bit excessive to start out with. I don't know your situation, but I'm a 200 pound guy and was on 50mg for about 12 years. When it was upped to 75 mg, I felt worse, like what you're feeling now. Try using just the 50 mg tablet with the advice from your doc. Best of luck.
