Fidei Defensor Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 [quote name='Ash Wednesday' date='29 December 2009 - 01:22 PM' timestamp='1262114527' post='2027259'] Yes, you should always take Zoloft at night! Glad you are starting to feel better. [/quote] The only reason I started with the morning was because I sometimes have anxiety about medications and when I take them at night, I sometimes have panic attacks in the middle of the night because I'm afraid of what I took. But now that I'm getting used to it, I can switch to taking it at night and be okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidei Defensor Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm a little anxious, though, because I'm going to be raising the dose tonight. I started at 12.5 mg (which is NOTHING compared to therapeutic dose) and I'm going to be going up to 25mg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidei Defensor Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Took my second dose tonight in order to double the dose. Feel kind of strange, in a good way. Slight nausea but it's not bothering me. I can tell that I'm getting some benefits already because I would be having a hard time, psychologically, with the nausea, usually. I hate being sick.

I had some uncharacteristic temper tantrums whenever starting a different AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachael Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I took an anti-depressant for a while. It took a while for the side effects to go away, but they did go away for the most part. To help counteract them, try to get outside (even if it is gray and icky), eat good foods (less sugar and sodium; more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) and try to exercise more (this probably helps the most). After a while it should improve your mood a bit and help lessen the side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
