I have been on Zoloft for 5 weeks now, 4 of those weeks being on 50mg. Most of the side effects I experienced are gone, except for digestive issues. I keep getting a throbbing sensation in my upper left abdomen area that has been going on for about two weeks. My first question is, has anyone experienced this? I know side effects include digestive issues or pain but can it be to one specific spot like this? Or might it be something else?
My second question is, with it being 4 weeks on 50mg, is it normal to still be feeling these side effects? Most have told me they should go away within 2-3 weeks
I never experienced a throbbing experience in my abdomen but I did suffer with diarrhoea on and off for the first few weeks. I read that it has something to do with the increased levels of seratonin in the gut. It might be worth seeing your doctor if you are concerned. I definitely experienced side effects on and off over a six week period but then they all settled.

Thank you for your answer. Being that I’m going into week 5 I thought it may not be normal to still be experiencing side effects. Hopefully it’s just side effects and it subsides and is nothing serious.
