Week 5 Zoloft side effects

Hi guys I’ve been on sertraline 50mg for 5 weeks now, my first and second weeks were awful but in my third week it started to feel fine. I am feeling more anxious on my fourth and fifth week, I’m just wondering if anyone feels the same way too.

Hi! Starting sertraline can be a rollercoaster, but it’s great that you felt better in the third week. Feeling more anxious again in the fourth and fifth weeks is tough, but it’s common to have ups and downs with new meds.

Keep talking to your doctor, they might have some ideas to help. Hang in there, things will get better!

Taking sertraline would surely make you feel constant ups and downs. It’s fine as your body is still adjusting. However, you have to tell it to your doctor.
