I originally took Zoloft for anxiety and stress, but the drug seemed to intensify my anxiety to the point of having frequent panic attacks. I took 25mg for a week- and 50mg for two weeks. During that time I had frequent headaches, and a feeling of motion sickness / dizzy rapidly moving backwards sensation. After the third day of taking the 25's- I passed out while getting X-rays- I was rushed to the hospital with very low blood pressure- although my blood sugar levels and AKG were both fine. After several hours I was released and told it was just a form of anxiety and my body's biological reaction to perceived fear. I continued to take Zoloft based on the doctor's in the emergency room's recommendation. I also had sleeplessness, a high frequency of dreams, and very bad teeth grinding (to the point where my jaw aches) Exactly two weeks after taking the 50mg dose- I had a severe panic attack while driving my car- I felt as though I were going to pass out- arms went numb, I got the adrenaline shakes. I missed work because of it. My doctor's office told me to stop taking it immediately but after taking to a pharmacist- she said it will take up to two weeks to get out of my system and that panic attacks are a possible side affect. Since I stopped taking it- I am very anxious all the time and have moments of very high anxiety while driving. I wake up feeling nausea and weakness in my legs. I am now taking Zanax to counter the panic attacks until the Zoloft gets out of my system. The most discouraging part of this whole experience is that I was seeking treatment for stress and anxiety- and now I am loving with horrible panic attacks. The drug had the completely opposite affect of it's intended use.
