Yeeeboiii, this is real positive, I literally JUST took my first pill 5 minutes ago, I hope this sorts me out enough to just feel neutral and talk to people without constantly feeling like an idiot or that they're laughing at me.
Jaikay1 , hi, my name is Steve, and I was just prescribed Zoloft for PTSD , but I'm researching the product before taking it, I'm just concerned about the side effects, well I pray that you have gotten better ever since you started Zoloft, and you can text me anytime on how you're feeling while taking Zoloft, share any good or bad effects. Take care, God bless.
And how are things now?
Update !?
I'm about to start today and I'm absolutely petrified! It's nice to know others are on this journey too! Your video really helped! Thank you for sharing I know it can be a very scary thing to share!
Lauren Eley I’m glad I can help! I know it can be scary but don’t worry, it will be okay
moonchild thank you so much! I'm sending my love all the way from England! ❤️
It kinda gave me an “idgaf” attitude and I had racing thoughts and couldn’t sit still and it felt AWESOME
I took 25mg of Sertraline yesterday. I had delayed taking it on for over 2 weeks since the side effects made me hesitant. The first day I only experienced positive effects. I felt super high, happy, relieved but very energetic and had a tough time falling asleep since I took it in the evening. The usual thoughts that would have triggered me into worry and anxiety, did not affect me at all and I maintained a strangely positive attitude throughout the whole evening. I know it might not be the same for everyone, but it really worked for me the first day and I´m excited to see how it will be in the next weeks..
Did you keep taking it in the evening or did you switch your time due to not being able to sleep? Did you body eventually get used to it and you no longer had a hard time sleeping?
How are you doing 1 year later? Are you still on setraline?
My second day and I woke up smiling like they do in the musicals. I have energy and are completing tasks and not mindlessly scrolling my phone or sitting in one spot thinking. I can think clearly. I feel you it’s not numbing but the bad thoughts don’t take over my mind. I’m actually acting vs Just wondering and dreaming. I am hopeful.
I needed to see this, from you!!!
Thanks, I believe it worked for you so fast. Every brain, system and body is different. Some people may need more time than others. All the best.
Takes a few weeks to work
Interesting....this is my first day on the generic version...sertraline...I attest to the same experience, pretty much
And??
@@bbeeaauu and... it's proving her experience of taking this medication is legit and possible.
The meh is correct. I’m on 23 hours of taking it. I hate drams tv shows or movies but out of nowhere today I really wanted to see this drama show on Hulu and enjoyed it even though it’s predictable and boring. It makes no sense. Also the drowsiness was awful but at least I took it at 8pm so I could sleep
sertraline is not as SSRI its a SDRI, serotonin-dopamine reuptake inhibitor, so for sure you can more concentrate :)
@@vampyrez6 Sertraline is an SSRI, but, uniquely among most antidepressants, it shows relatively high (nanomolar) affinity for the DAT in addition to the SERT. As such, it has been suggested that clinically it may weakly inhibit the reuptake of dopamine, particularly at high dosages. For this reason, sertraline has sometimes been described as a serotonin-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (SDRI).
Today was my first day in Zoloft and it physically made me sick. An hour of taking it I experienced heartburn ( may be because I took it without breakfast). After a couple of hours, that's when the nausea hit me, I was dry heaving in the toilet. After, I had diarrhoea, which made me feel better. I drank some tea, and slept because I was in pain and didn't have an appetite to eat. Once I woke up, I felt significantly better, I eat some food. Right now I'm in bed and I'm experiencing tremors and chattering. Maybe, it's causing insomnia since it's 3am and I can't sleep. So yeah, i might stop taking it if this progresses. I'm taking 50mg btw
I had this exact same feeling first day, how did it go for you?
I just took my first dose 25 mg let’s hope we all get through this 💕💕
Update ?
Hay girl I started taking sertraline 3 weeks ago and I had side effects this medication right now slow go away and I started feeling calmer and I have little negative thoughts there still not really bad anymore and you should feeling whole better soon!
I got really dizzy yesterday was my first day
Me too!!!
Just got through my first day and I slept for 2 hours and have been up since . Sucks ! Im hoping day 2 will help me sleep and without the weird racing of the brain and thoughts
Today was my first day and I threw up my eyes are dilated
You aren’t supposed to go from 0 to 50 mg that quick you usually are supposed to cut it in half.
50mg is the starting dose for Zoloft
Most of the times, yes, it is. I took my first dose today and my starting dose was 25mg. I was instructed that if I feel good on 25mg to move up to 50mg after 4-5 days.
Did it continue to work?
I gave my daughter her first dose last night at around 10pm. Next morning she said she couldn't sleep, had a bad headache and nausea. Anyone else experience this? Anyone else taking it at night as oppose to during the day or in the morning?
The doctor recommends taking it when you eat breakfast, night time is the worst time to take it because it keeps you active.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great video, I just was prescribed sertraline. I'll pick it up Thursday. See how it goes. Have a great week. 🙏😊👍💜🙏😊👍💜
Sry to burst your bubble, but it builds in your system over 6 weeks, so what you're feeling is most likely placebo, so it will only get better!
Satanic Toads not at all. I felt it & have felt many SSRI’s straight away. For them to work properly, yes it does take weeks
not bubble t burst. She is obviously feeling better.
I just took mine like 15 minutes ago for the first time. Hope it helps (:
I started last night I felt light headed I had to take a nap mid morning but I dont feel anything lets hope I continue this way
How are you now?
I Literally had the same experiences wow
Same filling 25 mg second day
Do dr recommend mornings or night
Night
But people say morning
But everyone is different
Can I take it with alcohol or cocaine?
Placebo
kerry armstrong i was high on Zoloft. It's not placebo
not true. I felt Paxil on the first day. but unfortunately it doesn't later in the coming days. Everyone is different.
Placebo or not, who cares ?
As long as people feel better thats what's important :)
Oh give me a break! Ridiculous.
took my first dose last night , and i weirdly didnt feel like its the end of the world today when waking up...
this is weird, i actually woke up while feeling...good.
hope yalls day is good too.
and i experienced no symptoms but the dry mouth part.
Just saying, as someone who takes a high dose of this med for 8 years, it doesn’t take a day or even an hour to feel anything. I think it’s just you overthinking about the effects so your mind is tricking itself to feel that way, (as if it was working already).
Just my thoughts lol, I’m happy that you are this positive though so props to that!
You can definitely see the change in her. She almost seems high & rambling on it. I DEFINITELY believe she is feeling some effects from the medication.
Youre comment is unnecessary.
Since you can only can speak for youreself.
It takes 4 weeks for it to work
but the sideeffect can come much earlier and its normal that the body react on zoloft, at least the first days.
Kind of dizzy feeling high is normal
but depends on the body of course.
Diembla. I felt something on the first day. I have been on sertraline now for 9 days now. The first 4 days i was very high and almost it felt like i was on amphetamines. I didnt feel much more after that. But i will say that my anxiety has severely reduced. It does take 4 to 6 weeks to be at its peak effect. And my psychiatrist told me that i would feel something in the 1st week ...which I DID. so please dont tell me my comments are unnecessary please. This is a place to share our experiences and how we are affected. This is not a site for bullies. So please keep your negativity to your self thankyou Diembla. This is my experience & journey. NOT YOURS. I hope everyone is having a lovely day. GREETINGS & BEST WISHES EVERYONE FROM AUSTRALIA. 😊🇦🇺
Kris Wintle i was not replying on youre coment ☺️
I also took sertraline. Didnt expect any side effects but felt weird, difficult reading organise word and speak.
My psychiatrist told me that very few prosent of people that take it can feel like this☺️ soo yah. I also found myself relaxing my jaw something that is good since i always bited my teeth together becouse of anxiety
My apologies Diembla. I take my tablet at 8am and i am buzzing at 9pm at night. And yeah me too with the jaw. Im pressing my teeth together really hard all the time. And i have been abit sweaty at times. It has definitely eased my chronic anxiety slightly aswell. I really look forward to week 6. Good luck everyone 😊
It takes a good 4 wks to get anything off it! You might be overthinking it.
Took me only about two weeks.
Everybody is different. I believe her.
Arvil Francis
i had similar effect as her too, worked on the first day.
Yeah I see videos of people feeling it on the 1st day and it usually takes time but who knows
Search "PSSD" on Google
At the first day I honestly felt nauseous and sleepy and energetic at the same time
I've been on zoloft for at least 2 years now (150mg) it works well for me so I hope it works for you too! Best of luck x
how does it work for u?
@@S.W.E.D.E.N.2000 well
First day on Zoloft. 25mg. I have crippling social anxiety that makes it very awkward for me to talk with people. Hopefully it helps. I will check back here every now and then and drop an update :)
1 month update: DEFINITELY works. Holllly craaaap I wish I started this 10 years ago. Unbelievable. I'm much more confident when talking to people, my thoughts have slowed down and I talk and think clearly now. Still some anxiety unfortunately but it's a much better state than I was. :(
@@TactileCoderhow long did it take to work
@@TactileCoder??
@@maribeltovar9801 I started feeling different within a week but it took a good two months to really see benefits. Best decision I've made for my mental health 3 months in.
@@TactileCoder ohh I’ve been on it for 3 weeks n nothing 😔
It seems to me that you are experiencing a placebo affect. You will NOT feel the positive affects of sertraline this quickly. it needs to build up in your system first for at least a week or two. You will however feel the bad side effects like drowsiness and suicidal thoughts.
I have just taken my first dose. I take 25mg for 4 days, then i start 50mg a day. Fingers crossed 🤞🇦🇺
How is it going for you
@@nataeyjohnson5864 Hello @Nataey Johnson. The first 4 days i felt like i was on Amphetamines, i was wide awake & clenching my jaw alot. Those symptons lasted about 3 days. On Day 4 i increased to 50mg. Even though the dose was increased i actually had no side effects at all. On the 2nd week i increased to 75mg, again no side effects but my anxiety was hardly there. I felt really good and positive. On the 3rd week my psychiatrist increased my dose to 100mg. It has almost been 2 weeks since i started the 100mg..... OMG!!! EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED. I feel so good, i have no anxiety , i am on other medications aswell, but my anxiety has always been horrendous. But after almost 5 weeks on the zoloft my anxiety has completely gone. My mood is balanced , i have a positive outlook. Im actually going back to work next week after having almost 6 months off. I had a nervous breakdown. But thats all in the past. Apparently in another 2 weeks i should feel even better again. So if you are thinking of starting zoloft or already have, then please stick with it. If you have side effects bare with them and push through. Trust me you will get your life back...and even better. I feel FABULOUS. Good luck @Nataey johnson i wish you all the best on your journey. Please keep in touch & tell me how your going. Thankyou. 🇦🇺
Heyy!! I got put on Remron and I love it it doesn’t do anything for my anxiety though so I will be asking about a PRN. Because I have my days
Thats awesome @Nataey Johnson, im so glad. I feel PHENOMENAL on the sertraline, but my anxiety was still crippling. So my psychiatrist put me on Pregablin (Lyrica) aswell. OMG!!! the Pregablin has been life changing, literally from the first tablet within 1 hour i almost felt euphoric. That only lasted the first 2 doses , but as you keep taking it there is literally NO anxiety at all. Its like a switch has been turned off. But there's no more Dread or worry or panic anymore. My psychiatrist also put me Quetiapine at night to help me wind down and sleep peacefully. So with the Sertraline, Pregablin & Quetiapine my whole world has changed. I start back to work in 2 days... it's literally a whole new me. Wishing you all the best Nataey. Let me know how you go. 🌈 🇦🇺
I've been on it 2days and felt exactly like this apart from a few side affects
I have a question I have been suffering from insomnia for many months and turn into depression and anxiety. I am on my third day taking Zoloft and my doctor says take it nightly help sleep that has not happened. I did hydroxizine sleep aid like Benadryl last night with zoloft and couldn't sleep. Is zoloft what keeping me awake?
Angie Fierros I’m not by any means a doctor so don’t take my opinion for fact, take it with a grain of salt. But insomnia can actually be a side effect of Zoloft depending on the person. Your best bet would be to let your doctor know and keep them updated on how you’re doing. They’ll know what to do.
just commented on your month long vid then found this: I just took sertraline for the first time today, only 25 mg but honestly I've felt incredible all morning. It's like all the worry has been washed away. I've been focused and actually been able to get work done! I have noticed a slight slight headache, but the positive effects are by far outweighing the negatives
Same. I’ve had stressful thoughts, but I’m not having a whole panic attack. My heart doesn’t feel like it’s racing.
I’m so glad I came across your video, I took my first medication yesterday at night and woke up with migraine, and very early but I felt exactly the same as you I my mind is always thinking a lot of stuff so quickly and my mind is so calm! I’m even afraid to say it cause the dr said it would take time and also thought about the placebo effect, but oh well thank u so much 💗
I felt the same way as you! Felt good results on day 2 and then the thoughts were there, the anxiety was still there but I didn't really care lol
That's how I feel today taking it. The thoughts crossed my mind but I'm not overthinking it. I kind of just brush it off. I know it takes about two weeks to actually feel the difference but honestly I can say that, something is happening. For once I feel relieved of my constant thoughts that make me feel terrible
Wooooow- i am so glad for you, love you so much!!! from Norway (am on my third day),
I'm about to take my first 25mg ...
I drink wine all day
Like when I wake tell sleep
But I put water with it and just sip.. not to get drunk .... let's see what happens
Hi asher.I want to react on your first video.How are you doing? 6 years later? are you ok? are you still on zoloft? Can i ask you if you hade any side effect? Did you gain weight? Did you lose interesest in sex? I am very curous how everything went.I need to start this medication because of my panick attacks an agorafobia and odc.I hope your doing good.
You sound like me with ADHD
Yesterday was my first day, so strange but just like to you said i also felt like it worked for me immediately! I got a bit too anxious at night but was able to control it. I struggled to sleep too but im hoping that will go away.
Placebo
Yeah definitely!!!
I just took a half of pill, For the first time. Zoloft.. Let's see how this shit goes.
I can relate so much thanks for sharing
Its my first day and I’m having a severe kind of depression that I haven’t got in so long 😩 it’s making me feel so weird
I’m 12 i took it like 9 hours ago and i feel the exact same lol
You're too young to be taking this
@@justinedse3314 no i wasnt…?
Why are you filming yourself after one pill your giving people the wrong impression of the drug hope u give an update
Yo i went through the same thing
Thanks,I’m 3 hours after taking my first Sertraline so will follow you on your journey. So far same side effects as you after 3 hours
You"re so fortunate to feel all of that on the first days. I"m just staring and I feel too direct. thanks for your honest experience, I needed that.
May I ask what your dose
Placebo effect darling
Perhaps, but does the placebo effect last months or years? I think Sertraline does help, even if it takes the edge off a little.
I just started mine today wow I’m nervous
How annoying that you’re describing how you feel within an hour? You obviously don’t realize that you need to give medicines like these WEEKS before they actually kick in - hello?? Besides you can’t honestly assess how it works within a day - all in your head
why do you need to be so aggressive lol
Watching this because i got prescribed sertraline yesterday and took my first dose last night, and woke up almost puking. Feel horrible, im not gonna take it for a few days because I have my first day of work TOMORROW and don't really want to vom
Just take a deep breath u will be ok
Setraline Panic disorder lol
u devoted ur TH-cam channel to sertraline lol
Just started today..
You won't feel anything for like 2weeks to a month
Lol one day its obviously working
