This is probably my third post in the last two weeks on this thread because I’m feeling so bad… got back on Zoloft after 4 years of not being on it- started almost 5 weeks ago on 12.5 mg and then upped to 25 mg after 2 weeks being on the 12.5 mg. Tomorrow will be my 3rd week on the 25 mg dose and this week has truly been horrible for me today being the absolute worst. I feel like I’m on the verge of a panic attack 24/7 now and I don’t know what happened I wasn’t feeling this way at all just started happening this week really bad I’m now contemplating stopping all together because I hate this feeling so much 😓🙏 anyone else feel this way I don’t know what to do from everything I read it said things should be better by now… also I started my period these last week week too and I know that’s not helping either ugh.

Hey all! So I started back on Zoloft for severe anxiety about 4 weeks ago- started 12.5 mg for two weeks and then the last 2 weeks I’ve been on the 25 mg. How long to see improvements? Feel like these last couple of days my anxiety has been worse 😓 feeling super aware of everything in my body / leaving places early scared to have a panic attack / etc. Should I stop taking it all together? up my dose? Wait it out I know it said sometimes 6-8 weeks but I’ve heard ppl say at least two weeks to four weeks they feel better and I guess I’m discouraged. Thank you guys. I love this group truly. Feel less alone in my horrible anxiety journey..

Started on 12.5 mg and am slowly trying to reach up to 25mg I am so sensitive and was so scared to take the full 25 dose so I did 12.5 mg for the last two weeks, and now I am trying to go up to the full 25 mg but the last two days I have been breaking it up into about 3/4 of a tablet but now I am having horrible anxiety about the 3/4 tablet being okay… I didn’t tell my doctor of this just kind of did it and now I’m scared since it’s not a scored dose / just my own breaking. Anyone else do 3/4 of the tablet until they did the full?

Since idk why it keeps getting removed on the Zoloft page- but yesterday was my first dose and I felt fine all day- little nausea but nothing really else. Then I went to sleep last night I woke up my heart racing and pounding hard / sweating - then I somehow went back to sleep woke up for the morning again with this. I don’t know if I remember this before but it was also now 4 years ago- I also have heart anxiety 😥

So just like the title says- I just took my fist does or Zoloft yesterday (I am going back on it took it about 4 years ago and then stopped after about a year), and this morning after going to sleep fine last night I woke up twice this morning with my heart beating out of my chest! I felt fine my first day yesterday took it around 11 a.m- other than feeling nauseous that was it ran errands got lunch etc. Only when I woke up twice I felt the hard beating of my chest! OBVIOUSLY this freaked me out and I’m sitting in my bed scared. Of course we take this for anxiety- to only make it worse?! Ahh! I can’t remember if this is how I felt the first couple days or not when I took it 4 years ago. Can someone tell me if this happened to them?! I also have bad heart anxiety 😥 thank you everyone.
