> about taking antidepressants. The first day on Zoloft, after about 5 hours I got really nauseous and threw up. The second day I still feel nauseous and the thought of food make me still feel sick. When can I expect to feel the benefits??? I also have a headache and feel gittery but not better. When will I know whether or not this is working feelings are experiencedMy experience with Zoloft is that it can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to be effective. An average dose, I've heard, is about 150 mg. Most docs will start lower and work the dose up. I also experienced jitteriness. It didn't last for me. Hopefully your doc started you low and is working up the dose to alleviate side effects. I also experienced itchy skin, which I took a little Benadryl to counteract. Try to hang in a while if you can, to see if the med will work for you.
