Hi Mari,
i have a few 50mg pills and lots of 100mg pills, both scored and divisible. i use half of each as my 25mg and 50mg doses. Zoloft is taken once a day. i can skip or reduce the dose for a day if things are too icky, yes. for the moment, it would be preferable not to do that. these effects are pretty normal. they may or may not subside. if they don't i have to deal with them or throw meds at them, if i want the Zoloft to do its job. in the past, i have only had these effects with higher doses, but i have always had one or more "downer" drugs on board: - Tegretol - Trileptal + long acting benzo - Zyprexa + long acting benzo - Seroquel + long acting benzo - Depakote + long acting benzo + lorazepam as needed this is the first time i have taken it solo. ~ waves ~ |

Dear Waves,
I forgot about that. You don't have anything on board to keep the Zoloft from being too activating. You do have the benzo options available. I'm glad about that. Quote:

thanks Mari,
i hope it works too!  well other than having the snoozies, the lorazepam helped significantly - enough to make me comfortable. i'll play it by ear as to when to start the long acting benzo. i may try to use it to help me shift my sleep back to night. we'll see. one day at a time for now. ~ waves ~ |

well, i slept really well and partly during the night.
i tucked in about 3. i think i got to sleep around 4. i know it was not light yet. i slept solid until 10. so far i feel better today than yesterday. of course i only just took the Zoloft (normally take it at 6). i think the lorazepam helped a lot. that's probably why i got sleepy. i am not going to take anything else for now. i want to see how things are when this dose peaks. i had a coffee yogurt but i am going to try not to have caffeine, or at least not coffee today. if i am too sleepy i will try tea or something. the caffeine in tea gets absorbed more slowly. ~ waves ~ |
