I have been on zoloft for about 5 months. The psychiatrist started me with 25 mg so to avoid severe side effects ( I am sensitive to meds) I cut it in hakf for 2 months and then I worked myself up to 25,After that the doc gave me 50mg and I took 37 mg for a few days until I went to 50 mg. My side effects were mild , very mild. My doctor said I could cut the med in half if I wanted to.
Regarding my opinion of Zoloft ...., at first it was great! Now I am my old anxiuos self.I have SA. So I will talk about it with my doctor to see if she ups my dose.If after that I am still the same , side effects should face away once your body gets used to it. Keep us posted.

Very important to stay hydrated with zoloft.

It is effective in treating the immediate symptoms associated with anxiety.

What happens, as you recover from the particular symptom, another one pops up. Anxiety is natural and is a part of us.

Before you get diagnosed with anxiety, you often experience different symptoms before they become overwhelming.

This is why keeping a daily journal is helpful in figuring out what works when, and also helps you to see how much your balance is improving.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
