I've been on 25mg of generic Zoloft for a week and I've developed the feeling of a lump in my throat. It seems to get worse for a little while after I take it, but it may also be anxiety about taking it. I'm supposed to increase the dosage to 50mg tomorrow, but I'm afraid to in case it's really an allergic reaction. Has anyone else experienced this?

I started taking zoloft about a month a half ago for anxiety/depression and two days later developed a lump in my throat and a dry throat when i breathed, i would feel the air hitting the back of my throat. It was so bothersome but I stayed on the zoloft until about 2 weeks ago I went off it because I felt my anxiety had subsided which it has and everything is fine. I feel good. When I went off it the dryness started going away but not all the way and in it's place the lump continued and still has not gone away. I thought it could be anxiety but I don't see anyway because I feel good and not anxious, only about the lump and how annoying it is. I have GERD and it could be related to that. It can apparantly get worse with the use of antidepressants and progestin, I was on zoloft and the pill. I have now gone off both but still have the lump and some dryness. Has anyone else experienced this? I have heard that it could be GERD but I am confused now that I am off the meds why the feeling has not gone away. I'm going to see my doctor on Thursday.
