In reply to Zoloft - Increased anxiety but feeling dumb, posted by Wisekaz on October 13, 2007, at 2:54:33
Hi
I had many of those side-effects when I started Zoloft and everything but nausea when away eventually. My dosage was 250 mg.
Maybe you should stay at 25 mg a little longer. It might make you less anxious about increasing the dosage, and maybe your body needs to time to get used to this new med in your system.
Don't give up!

> My problems is it seems to have increased my levels of anxiety but at the same time is making me feel really dumb and sleepy which is in turn making the anxiety levels worse. I am also suffering from awful pains in my stomach and acid reflux. Has anyone who has been on Zoloft before had these side effects and does it ease off as my body adjusts? I don't really feel like swapping to yet another tablet.
> Thanks!
