Looking for some realistic advice. I’m on my third week of the loft and my third attempt to get on this medication this time I thought titrating up extremely slowly would do the trick but I’ve only made it to 10 mg thus far and can’t even go to work because I’m so lethargic and lightheaded all day at this point do I continue to take it or try it again in January when I have less going on with work and my kids sports and such? I can’t really afford to have any more weeks where I am simply bed rotting. I haven’t even been able to go to work for three weeks

I need some advice on how I should proceed based on all of you with experience here. I lived a very normal life where I’m not really bothered by anxiety from my day-to-day as long as I stay within my bubble, however, my bubble can be large as I have no problem going places where there are people around that could help me in cases of an emergency. I have a crazy fear of passing out and not having someone to help me. This is my third attempt at getting on Zoloft so I can do things like driving on the highway and taking my kids to birthday parties and doing all the other things that affect me. I’m on day 16 make it to 10 mg every morning. Wake up very late from it and I don’t know if this means that it’s not the right medication for me or I just need to wait it out longer. What I’m worried about is if it’s affecting me so much at such a small dose how will I ever make it to a clinical dose?

Would love to hear some advice and stories that are similar to my situation because I rarely hear of anyone on such a small dose.

Thank you

I’m on day three thus far of 3 mg per day. I’m using a dropper and it’s really knocking me on my butt. I’ve tried this medication twice in the past but the initial side effects are severe for me so I’m trying to titrate up extremely slowly. Is this a good way to do it or should I just bite the bullet and try to start with a higher dose keep in mind I have two young children and a full-time job in finance so being lethargic and bedridden all day is not really an option.
