Experiencing Side Effects with Zoloft?

For the first week or so when it kicks in actually made my panic so much worse and then when it kicked in I felt normal. I've been on it for 13 years

I felt suicidal on it

It worked alright for me, but starting it up kicked my butt. It greatly affected my autonomic nervous system. I struggled to fall asleep, then struggled to wake up. I'd forget to breathe and black out. I felt so sick for about a week, and then my body mostly adjusted. I had to be careful to take it on time. Otherwise, those symptoms would come back. It helped some with the depression, but after maybe a year or two of being on it, it stopped working for me. I didn't notice at first, but I dissociated for months, walking through what felt like a dream, until I was finally knocked out of it by a big life event caused by my dream-like state. I got fired from my job, which caused me to reevaluate my life, and I had to switch medications. I hope it works better for you. I tend to react poorly to medications. Just keep an eye out for side effects. Best of luck!

I've been slot for about 3 years now and haven't experienced any side affects as of yet. Though everyone is different, if you decide to start it make note and tell.yout doctor of anything that might feel foreign or strange. Best of luck to you!

I actually just started taking it about a week ago the first couple days I felt suicidal but now I just feel more depressed but the doctor said it would take time

I felt suicidal on it years ago 🫤
