Zoloft Groggy/Medicine Head
I have been on zoloft for 6 weeks total for anxiety (started with 12.5 mg) ---- 3 weeks on 50 mg.
Side effects have come and gone and I have seen some positive results. I still have some anxiety which I hope will resolve with time. The worst thing the past few days has been a bad medicine head feeling -- like I am drugged just a bit.
This is really hard to deal with - especially at work!
I want so bad to be able to stick with the zoloft. What do you guys think? Will this go away like the other side effects or after 3 weeks is this here to stay????

First I took it before bed, but it gave me too much energy and I couldn't sleep. I moved it slowly to morning and my sleep is better the last couple nights. But this morning I have a sleepy head :) What are you gonna do!!?? :)
My goal the last few weeks is to work really, really hard to not let any of the variety of side effects, remaining anxiety, etc. to interfere with my life!!
My biggest challenge is that for work I need to start traveling and doing some training sessions to groups which was no problem before stress anxiety knocked the wind out of me a few months ago and started panic attacks.
But I need to get back on the horse! I just have my fingers crossed the zoloft will continue to improve my remaining anxiety. I am on 4 weeks with the 50 mg dose and keep thinking 6 weeks -- 6 weeks :)
Any helpful hints are very welcome!

Hi there...im new here...my dr is tapering me off Paxil im on 20mg and Zoloft in the morning 25 mg...I too am having nausea and no appitite. It has given me more anxiety and loose bowels...sorry bout that! Im on day 6 and feel as though there is no hope. Im going to keep praying for all of us cause we r going to need it..do u guys experience the nausea causing more of the anxiety? I hate being nauseous maybe thats why?
I always took it right before bed and that helped me.. Give it time, it can take awhile...
