I've been on 100mg of Sertraline (aka Zoloft) since around the start of the year. over the past week I've been having intermittent heart palpitations, as in every now and again throughout the day I'll feel my heart do an extra beat. I've had an ECG which was normal (as I didn't have any palpitations during) and the doctors have basically said keep an eye on it, maybe it's stress. sertraline is the only medication I take so wondering if it's a common thing, the doctors never even mentioned it maybe being the sertraline but I know palpitations are mentioned as a sertaline side effect. I'm trying to wean myself off the med anyway by halfing my dose as often as possible

      @faustmare honestly I'm feeling so much better since I started it, but I never ever wanted this to be a long term thing! I'm luckily feeling better and want to get off it, I'm trying to wean myself off and hoping the palpations stop, if not I know its something else 😅

      why do you want to get off of it, if you dont mind me asking? please be careful! your body is accustomed to taking it, so getting off of it can cause imbalances

      zoloft messed me up the first week I took it, fr. the good news is that the side effects are temporary. even when i stopped zoloft for a few months, then started it again, i didnt have symptoms the second time i started it. its temporary. personally it was my miracle medication, and it's been helping me thru everything. i def had those symptoms you're describing and trust me it can be scary, but if/once the effects wear off, it works wonders!!
