Waves,

Yes. Start at the low dose and notice what is happening.

Good luck with the tooth and with the Zoloft.

yes start at the low dose then try 50mg....is there a mouth guard that you can buy to wear at night?

no worries, starting higher than 25mg was never a consideration for me. last few times it gave headaches initially. i prefer 2 "waves" of very mild headaches than headaches for 10 days straight, and bad enough to medicate for part of that time. especially coz nsaids + SSRIs are a bad combination.

mouthguard - i think one would have to be made for me - very expensive.

i'll ask if the pharmacy has anything general but i doubt it. ppls mouths are so different.

i didn't start yet. this morning i have a migraine starting, with a lot of nausea. starting. yuck.

i think i want to take it at bed time. i hope i can sleep tonight i have been a bit thrown off on the sleeping times though. and i want to take it on an empty stomach.

i guess i am resisting it some, mentally. maybe i just don't feel generally sure about it.

Hi, Waves,

Maybe you need a few days to get used to the idea of Zoloft.

Waves

Take the time you need.

Just set a schedule. You can do this

Maybe start it on Saturday night.

of course go with your gut and do what feels right.
you are a smart woman, and I trust that you know what is best for you.
((((HUGS))))

thanks guys. i had not been using my pillminder for the other two meds but with this addition i decided to go back to that. so i've dished myself out all my meds including some zoloft for today. planning to take at bedtime with everything else, hopefully on an empty stomach.

i still feel too nauseous to go to the pharmacy to ask about mouth pieces today. and my head is not completely right either i just feel ugh still. but 25mg shouldn't cause any issue so i have a week's grace period in that regard.

if i am unconvinced tonight... at latest, i will wait for the migraines to stop. this is premenstrual - i may have others requiring meds over next couple days, but not likely past about saturday, Mari.

kinda sucks though because i made an appointment w/pdoc next week specifically for an external evaluation (mania/agitation check) before increasing to 50mg. but check will be inconclusive if i've only taken for 3 days.

notice how i can take a simple thing, like a simple little pill, and make it really really complicated and convoluted????
story of my life!!!
maybe i should consider writing murder mysteries... lol hmmmm.
who dun it? suspects: Zoloft, Depakote, natural causes, ...
hehe. <--- look, a chuckle! the zoloft may be working even without my ingesting any.
