Ive been on Zoloft for 2 days and the first day I took it I had bad Diarrhea and my teeth hurt they feel like I had them clenched all night long and I can barley eat. Ive been getting gas,nausea, and I feel faint and like I'm going to throw up. I'm on the Zoloft for Anxiety, is this normal or could it not be related to the Zoloft and I have something other than the anxiety????

These are side effects of Zoloft, they will be much more pronounced when you start taking the drug... and should numb down or entirely go away in a month. The sideeffects will numb down or maybe entirely go away within a week or two.

I remember when i started taking it first two days were HELL!

I've been on zoloft for a few years now. I had very similar symptoms. I remember the diarrhea was terrible. I didn't have an appetite and i was very sleepy and had almost no emotion about anything. The initial side effects were a week or two before they started to subside. I've had no problems since and am a firm believer that zoloft has changed my life for the better. I'm not nearly as nervous, anxious, or depressed anymore.

I have been on the "Z" for approx 1year. I currently take 150mg per day. I take this med for severe depression and anxiety. I still have my teeth clenched 24/7 and have the weird unfeeling, uncaring feelings. I have not gained any weight and it keeps me at an even keel, but I still don't feel like I want to do anything. I do things that I have to do, but nothing I enjoy. I have run the gammut of meds from Celexa to Zoloft and just can't seem to find the "right" one. Another side effect that I am experiencing is absolutely no sex desire. Thank goodness my boyfriend is very patient and caring. He understands when I am having an "unsocial" day. Sorry I am being a little wordy. I guess this is the "right" med for a lot of people. This is the only med that has reduced my libido. Good luck to all. K
