I have been on 3 different Ad in the last 3 months everytime I start one on the 4 th day I become really hyper. It feels like I have taken alot of mini thins or caffiene pills kind of hyper anyone expierience this? It started with zoloft then Effexor and now I am on remeron which my pcychaitrist says no way it will hype me up but my heart rate is 130 beats a min as we speak. Does anyone else have this expierience I know everyone is different it's wierd.

Well I was out chopping down bamboo during my "jittery" phase so perhaps my "jittery" equates to your "wired up with crazy energy."  Have you ever taken anything past 3 weeks?

I am starting Zoloft today again!  I used it a couple years ago...and was great on it...but gained so much weight.....  This time I plan to eat clean while being on it... don't want weight gain to happen after loosing it! =) I don't remember...  does anyone suggest taking Zoloft in the morning or night?

I don't feel jittery I feel wired up with crazy energy. I took the zoloft 3 weeks every Time I went up the more hyper I become.

Hi there.  When I started on my latest medication it actually made my anxiety worse.  I felt very jittery mostly in the morning and then that subsided a bit toward the end of the day and then I would wake up the next day and do it all over again.  What I found out, from this forum actually, is that I had to let the medication build up to a steady state in my body and when that happens the "light will go on" and I will be better.  It really did work this way.  At about the 4th week, the jitters were gone, the dry mouth was gone, and I felt normal again.  Have you taken any of your medications for as long as 4 weeks?
