Day 4 of Zoloft - any advice for nausea/vomiting/lack of appetite?
Hi all! Let me give some context before I get into my symptoms.
I just started Zoloft because I had a week long anxiety attack (I suspect I have OCD but I dont have a proper diagnosis) and was struggling to eat. I was desperate for a solution and went to a doctor to get checked out and see what they could do. I got prescribed 25mg of Zoloft to take in the mornings and 25mg of hydroxyzine to take as needed.
This is my first time being on any kind of prescription medication.
The first two days on Zoloft mostly gave me extreme fatigue, apathy, demotivation. Yesterday and today I have started struggling more with lack of appetite and *almost* vomiting in the morning - I am sure I would if I had food in my stomach.
The bright side is that it's kind of exposure therapy for me, I suppose... I haven't thrown up in 10 years on account of my emetophobia. 😅
Regardless! Is there any way to combat this? I really don't want to be dry heaving every morning and I'd really like to enjoy food again.
Any advice and words of encouragement are appreciated. Thanks!
