Questions for zoloft (13 yrs of age)

I have recently been taking zoloft and some side effects have been really geting to me. i was just upgraded from the 50mg to the 100mg. ive been having nausea confusion (which has been bothering me) serious sweating. i think its just my anxiety i just wanna know if these side effects are serious or normal. i also get diareah from time to time. sometimes i feel so weak i dont think i can pick myself up. is this serious or my anxiety taking the best of me?

You really need to discuss any, and all side effects with your parents so they can discuss this with your doctor.  We all respond differently to these types of medications and cannot compare our experience with anyone else's.  Your doctor knows best, so let your parents know your concerns.  You'll get thru this!  You're not alone, we hear from a lot of teens with anxiety.  Take care!

Yes these are some normal side effects of taking these types of drug, however it sounds like ur having a hard time so I would suggest getting ur parents to consult the doc who prescribed it to u, to see if maybe u need something else to help with the side effects or it needs to be reduced etc...
