I have been on Zoloft for a week now (I know, only a week, what could I possibly have to complain about :-)). I had previously been taking nortriptyline, 75mg, which I stopped a few days before I started the Zoloft. I also take Wellbutrin, 200mg.
Since starting the Zoloft, in addition to the nausea and tiredness, I have been incredibly irritable and feel so angry, like I just hate the world and my life, and, well, downright bitchy and agitated. I feel like I want to punch a wall or something (which is very odd or me because I am typically a soft-spoken and gentle person). I didn't feel like this when I was on the Wellbutrin with the nortriptyline.
So, my question is: Did anyone else experience these feelings when first starting Zoloft? Do the feelings pass as the body adjusts to the medication? I am getting to the point where I feel like giving up on medication. All I want is to be the content, enthusiastic and somewhat hyper individual I was before I got sick with iron deficiency (during which time I became depressed) and later had an extremely bad reaction to Depo (physically and mentally ill, including suicide ideation for months that the 225 mg of Effexor I was on would not touch). Is that too much to ask? Perhaps I should just accept that I had 43 pretty good years, and now I need to learn to exist in a state of joyless complacency.
Sorry to be on the pity pot :-( I am just frustrated with med trial after med trial. I know there are many people who have far greater problems than I, so I guess I should just suck it up and get on with things < sigh >
