new2dis,,, Right now im on something else but I was taking as high as 200mg zoloft at one time and no problems all the ones i had disapeared and when the doctor changed it because it was not helping my depression i had very little trouble going off of it too one of the easy ones in this class of drug to go off of.if you ever have to worked great for panic and anxiety..I do remember the dry mouth mostly at night or when dose was changed and i just found chewing on ice or drinking cold water in short time took care of it for good, And the gas is normal but it does not hurt to take it with a snack picece of bread and that stopped it..outside of that i have nothing bad to say about it i was on it longer than any other med..and i have been on them for a long time wish it would have helped with the depression but for me just would not do it..But the main thing i first started to take it for panic attacks it worked like a charm hope it works as good for you..Most of the minor side effect do go away.And also faster when it was a dose increase start sipping the water..it well help..soda was bad because of the carb... once its gone it drys out your mouth..best of the day to you
One other thing NEW2 ,,, is with me i was taking my full dose at night never kept me awake and no side effects after awhile i would burn them out by the morning and could not even tell i was having any if i was... have a good one best wishes...
Thanks chuck1957!! I truly appreciate it. I do take mine in the morning and I am thinking of starting to take it at night due to the dry mouth and the fact that after taking it I do feel fatigue for the first 2-4 hours after taking it. Thanks once again for the feedback :-)
