I am currently on Zoloft 25 mg and it has helped tremendously with my anxiety (the original reason I got on medication) but it has given me increased depressive symptoms and exacerbated them. I will be starting on 25 mg Pristiq within the next few days, Zoloft made me shaky, dazed, and nauseous the first week or so of taking it.

Any side effects I should look out for or any advice at all?? Personal stories are appreciated! Thank you :)

Does Zoloft always effect sex drive for people? I’m super scared of getting PSSD, only on 25 mg right now but will most likely be on it for a few more years. Any personal stories and experiences appreciated

Does anyone else struggle with being constantly hungry and thinking about food? This medication helps me so much with my anxiety so I don’t wanna get off of it. I’m only on 25 mg right now on my fifth week.

Okay so I noticed a pink growth on my cottage cheese it was only a small colony of serratia and I know it was def that since I took microbio lol.

Of course I discarded it after seeing the physical growth but I have been eating that cottage cheese every day before the physical signs of the bacteria, meaning I was consuming the bacteria in small quantities.

Two days later my stomach is making loud noises and I have increased nausea. Am I freaking myself out does Serratia survive stomach acid??…

I’m not immunocompromised or at high risk for infection

I am currently on 25 mg, but I have been taking 12.5 as recommended by my psychiatrist due to increased side effects the first week of taking them. I have been on 12.5 mg for about two and a half weeks, and now I have had an increase in depressive symptoms. I messaged my psychiatrist, and they said to take the full 25 since only talking the half can lead to increased depression.

I took the full 25 mg dose for two days, and the side effects are terrible. I am spaced out, dizzy, nauseous, and feeling physically anxious, though my mind is not anxious.

Do I push through the side effects or just go back to the half dose and manage my depression another way? Any advice or personal experiences are appreciated. Thanks!
