i've had diarrhea for over a month now during the time I've been taking Zoloft. I have it for hours in the morning and have uncontrollable urges to go. I've had days of severe stomach aches that felt like my intestines were going to come out of my stomach. im going to switch but i hope another medication wont have side effects i cant handle like these
When I came off Lexapro 10mg... I got stomach bloatedness and diarhea really bad for about 5 days... then it left. I also vomited once... it sucked, but it was managable. =) You'll do fine. Just give it some time.
I took an Immodium so today was better. I still have to go up to 100 and am now on 62.5. If every increase is going to do that, my poor stomach is going to explode! I like Zoloft as far as my mood goes. IT seems to be kicking in but the side effects are rough!
I was prescribed Zoloft for 1 month, but only took 1 pill. It made me incredibly sick to my stomach.
Different medications affect people in different ways. For example, I prefer Zoloft, while others will say they do not like it. Having said that, rememeber, with any SSRI, in my experience, you have more side effects as you come off, go up, or come down in dosage. Your stomach aches could be from this or a viariety of causes from anxiety, to food you eat, to a stomach bug etc. I always stress paitience when using these; but always stay in consultation with your doctor and continue to express your concerns if it keeps on bothering you. Keep us posted!
