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?

My very trusted psychiatrist changed my meds from Effexor to Zoloft after I complained of continuing depression and the usual suspects...Crying all the time...Zoloft was to be the "cry stopper". A week went by after the initial introduction and he increased the meds to 175 mg 2xper day. OH MY GOD-- I have never been worse off, my intestines were constantly churning and I was in the bathroom 8-12 per day and was incontinant at nighttime. Truly disgusting and violent diarhea. Not only that I didn't put 2 and 2 together and went to my physical doctor and she had me give a stool sample and you had to do it yourself. How humiliating and vile. I have now been off the Zoloft for over a week and I still am having the symptoms of gas and diarhea but not as bad, but I am wondering when they will go away? Anyone here have any ideas. I was on 175 mg 2x/day for approx 2 months. I'm wondering just what kind of damage that did to my gastrointestinal tract!!!
I still trust my Psych, he ddn't know I was going to have an allergic reaction of sorts. Hopefully I won't ever have to deal with this again. I also am having a light headed ness and that weird Acid-creepy feeling when I quit cold turkey. But after finding out that it was the culprit to the diarhea, I wouldn't take one more pill.
