New to zoloft 12.5mg
Hi!
I started taking sertraline 12.5mg in pill form 12/20/24. Since then I’ve been taking it everyday around 2:30 pm because I thought if I had symptoms my partner would be home by 3/3:30 and they can help me out (I am a stay at home mom) anyways, I had pretty minor side effects. Stomach discomfort with a little bit of nausea. Sleep was a little bit disrupted with just middle of the night wakings but manageable to be able to fall back asleep quickly. After those symptoms went away I was noticeably better even my partner noticed “you seem like yourself” during week 3 I started to wake up and feel kinda anxious? Like there was a feeling in my chest left over anxiety it felt like. Now on week 4 I don’t have that anxiety in the morning but about 2 or 3 hours after taking my dose I start to have heightened anxiety?? Like I’m nervous? Or my body doesn’t feel right. Since my anxiety is primarily GAD and health anxiety I am able to convince myself I’m ok because I’ve been to the doctors 100 of times lol. But I hate the feeling. Of like my flight or fight senses heightening. Idk why? My psychiatrist wants to increase me to 25mgs after I finish my month which I’m ok with just kinda worried about like this anxiety I’m having? Has anyone experienced it? Is it part of adjusting I know SSRIs are very individual to the person but just wondering if anyone has felt what I’m feeling. Thanks! Also hoping everyone is doing well in their journey 🔆
