Hey folks, I was on a lower dose of Zoloft and now up had it up in dosage. I have really bad stomach cramps all day....has anyone else expreience this....and do I just need to let the meds take time to enter my blood stream?

eat something when you take it... Keep up with plain white yogurt and some probiotics.. Keep some anti acids handy as well. And keep a lookout for constipation.

I had the same side effects at first. Thought I had a stomach virus. But that passed very quickly.

Now, I just have the undesirable sexual side effects. (Get it? Undesirable?) Not funny to me either.

Also, some leg cramps at night. I am blaming the zoloft, but not sure that is the cause.

Hang in there a couple days to see if it improves. If not, call your doctor.

Good Luck. MK

Thanks MK that's exactly what I thought had! And yes....I know exactly what you mean about your drive....I think it's from the Seroquel.
