The side effects you experience from Zoloft may be attributable to the dosage you're taking. WebMD provides a great resource for information about various drug uses, side effects, and questions to discuss with your doctor. Since I was not taking it for depression, I started with one 5 mg pill per day, then 10 mg; both are considered low doses. The negative effects I experienced were more of being in a fog - VERY different from vertigo. When I stopped taking it after 2 years, the side effects from withdrawals were similar to what you've described. Side effects are not normal; it sounds like you need to talk with your doctor/nurse to make sure Zoloft is the right drug for you, or if your dose should be adjusted. Good luck!

Nacho88,
Like the above post says, side effects do happen but they aren't intended. Tremors and dizziness are known possible side effects of Zoloft so I would mention it to your prescriber. He/she may want to put you on something else. Good luck and I hope you get to feeling better.

Hi nacho88

My first question is the dosage. I was on 25mg once a day. I had the worst heartburn I have ever had. It was so bad I had to go off of it within 3 days.

* Abdominal pain, headache, or sore throat
* Anxiety, agitation, fatigue, insomnia, sleepiness, nervousness
* Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, gas, bloating, indigestion
* Tremors, pins and needles, or tingling in the hands or feet
* Decreased sex drive

Side effects also experienced are above. Great question. Let me know how you're making out with this ok?

Peace

I am on my 5th day of Zoloft. I have had indegestion, and upset stomach, and some constipation. Good luck. I hope this medication works for you and me, too.
