Inbetween Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm looking for some adivce from long term Zoloft users. I have been on Zoloft for a little over 8 weeks (6@100mg, 2@150mg). My anxiety and depression at gone for the most part, but what I am dealing with now is a constant hard, pounding heart beat and feeling of shakiness/nervousness/jitteriness, especially when I wake in the mornings. It prevents me from falling back to sleep. It seemed to happen after a few days after my last dose increase. Did any of you experience this with Zoloft? If so, how long did it take to go away? Or did it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sync Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I haven't experienced that at all. I had some really strange twitchy hyperactive symptoms after going from 50mg to 100mg, but my pdoc said it was fine and they went away in about a week. 150 mg made me feel like my brain was on fire, so I think that was just too high of a dose for me. It's possible you're having a bad reaction to the dose increase? I'd recommend asking your pdoc about it. That's a weird side-effect and it can't hurt to check in about it.

Inbetween Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 My pcp didnt know. I can't afford a pdoc right now, and in this town it would take 3 months to get in as a new patient. It might still be my underlying anxiety. If it is, I am worried as I was on 100mg Zoloft for 6 weeks (with some Mirt in there) and 150mg now for 16 days.
