I’ve been on Zoloft 50mg for 8 weeks and so far it is definitely helping with my SA and Depression in some way, BUT the side effects are a major blow:
Every night it’s the same thing, can’t sleep, keep waking up 4 or 5 times at night, then I feel exhausted all day and the pattern repeats over and over again. Zoloft seems to make me feel drowsy in the day time but unable to sleep at night.
I also feel numb inside, wondering if it is cause of the med or if it's just me? I can't get excited about much of anything, not much motivation, just numb. My mood is more stable, but I feel out of it, like I'm floating thru my day.I feel very indifferent to EVERYTHING! I'm not sure if this is something that will pass? I'm hoping it does as I feel like a walking ghost and everything is just muted. I want things to matter to me and I want to feel motivated or moved by something! I want to feel happy, not numb.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Are all antidepressants like this? Is there anything else I can take with Sertraline that will help me sleep and not make me feel like a zombie? Are there better alternatives?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on it. Thanks :=)
btw: I always take my 50mg dosage early in the morning.
