I could only tolerate and wouldn’t even call it that the medication for 4 doses. The insomnia, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, acid indigestion, feet & hands sweating yet cold, nausea just to name a few of my symptoms were unbearable. I was hungry but yet couldn’t get myself to eat. Like a recluse locked away in my room in bed for days. I was not having any of those issues listed above before starting Zoloft except anxiety w/was spells of depression. I was basically at my Witt’s end so decided last night not to take my medication. I actually slept the first time throughout the night in 4 days, I’ve been doing little things around the house to try to keep myself busy from watching the clocks. I’m hoping as the days go on I start feeling better and more like myself.

I too was prescribed the lowest dose of Zoloft.25 mg. It presented me with terrible side effects. Terrible headaches, restless leg syndrome, diarrhea, clenching jaw so badly cause facial pain, blurry eyes, severe dizziness, felt so weird, serious shaking,
legs & hands. I stayed on it for 8 weeks and my body never adjusted.
I weaned myself off and it going on a full 2 weeks and i still feel anxious, weird, headaches, muscle pain, and grinding teeth & jaw pain.
The absolute worst medication ever. Im thankful I’m off it but
Still feel weird snd unlike myself.

So, I was given like 7 or 8 medications in a 3 week span. I kept having reactions to all the medications. The last medication was Zoloft. I took it for 5 days and stopped cold turkey, I couldn't take it any longer because of the heart palpations, high bp, increased hr, numbness and tingling, body jolts, muscle spasms, insomnia..the list goes on. Anyway, I stopped the Zoloft 18 days ago and I still have a hard time eating. I feel like I have to force feed myself or I won't eat. I still get anxiety and heart palpations mostly in the morning and early afternoon. The only time I feel somewhat normal is at night but by that time, it's time for bed. I'm hoping these symptoms go away soon, it's unbearable.
