Hi,
I was on Zoloft at 125mg and it worked GREAT for me mentally. I was able to motivate myself to do every day activities and more. I was able to go out and actually have fun. I felt 'normal' for the first time in my life. However, the side effects of hot flashes and dehydration got worse the higher I went up in the dosage of Zoloft. At 125mg, I felt great mentally but not with the side effects.They put me on Prozac at 20mg and I felt like I was stuck in a bad mood all the time. They now put me on 40mg and it has only been a few days but I feel so 'blah' and I have so much less apathy right now than I ever did. I am also very sleepy.
I have been very sick on Prozac, nauseous, headaches, dizziness, sleepiness, etc. The first two weeks I was on Zoloft, my sleep was a little off but that's about it, and then it went back to normal.
I have tried Lamictal, Welbutrin, Depakote, Effexor, Cymbalta, Lexapro, Zoloft, and now Prozac.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Has Zoloft worked great for anyone and then they had to switch to something else that worked just as well?
I am trying to find something similar to Zoloft. It is the only one that ever made me feel 'normal.'
Please help =/
