Zoloft and diarrhea

2 days of taking zoloft...on and off jaw and throat stiffness, cold sweat, zap like sounds in head at night, vivid dreams, slight diarrhea, very sensitive eyes, dilated eyes, trouble focusing eyes to read, fogginess, anxious feeling, less emotion, trouble smiling, overall muscle stiffness, headaches, sudden feeling of nausea throughout day

my heart does feel slower though which is the reason it was prescribed.. still have feelings of anxiety which was the other reason

I have been taking a low dose of zoloft (25mg) daily for about 9 months now and it has helped with my peri-menopause symptoms. I was having anger issues and depression associated with the changing hormones. I have never had these problems before recently so that is why they put me on the zoloft. It has helped a lot but the side effects have caused me to request a change in medication. I have some mild problems with diarrhea and headaches but nothing too bad. The worse one is the total lack of sex drive. I have no use for sex at all any longer. What is worse is that even if I do it for my husband it is impossible for me to have an orgasm or even become aroused. Strange. Hopefully there is something else out there that will help without this bothersome side effect.

I take Zoloft for depression and Anxiety. I was increased to 200mg about 1 month ago. Recently, I have been having headaches (pressure behind eyes) and at the base of my skull, along with shakiness and diarrhea.Is this caused by the increase in Zoloft?

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????

I have been on Zoloft (150mg) as well as Wellbutrin (300mg) for the last year. I have been on Zoloft for nearly 6 years (for postpartum depression and then ongoing depression) and the wellbutrin was added in by my doctor 2 years ago when the depression symptoms seem to be returning. However, during the last year, I am tired ALL THE TIME - really tired. The kind of tired in which I feel like I can not function. I nap any chance I get (which is difficult because I have four children) and still have no problem falling asleep at night. I have been to the doctor and have had blood tests to see if my exhaustion can be attributed to anything but my test always come back normal. So I am now wondering if my tiredness is a possible Zoloft side-effect... And is it possible for it to be a side effect that surfaced several years into using this drug? I did not feel like this when I first began either of the medications. I also wake up nightly completely soaked with night sweats... another Zoloft side effect. If anyone has any similar experience or advice, I'd love to hear!

I'm taking zoloft for panic attacks. I'm on day 3 of 25mg. I have severe diarrhea. Yesterday I had a burning/tingling sensation in my shoulders and moved up to my head. It lasted about 2-3 minutes. Today I feel like I'm in a fog. I also have trouble sleeping and occasionally have small pains that last for a second all over my head. I'm not sure if this is worth the trouble. I won't hesitate to continue the medication If I can be sure these effects will go away. My doctor wants me to up my dosage by 25mg. every week and I don't know if this will worsen my side effects.

teeth grinding, nightmares, diareah, night sweats, moody. All this seems to have happened about 4 months into it.

I have been on zoloft for about 10 weeks. I had alot of "neurological" side effects...tingling hands and feet; muscle tension in arms and legs; numbness in hands feet and face. I hated it. I didn't have any of the "normal" side effects i.e. diarrhea, dry mouth, sexual side effect. I had the stranger ones. I've been off of zoloft for 10 days and the withdrawal is uncomfortable. I had brain zaps, dizziness, general flu-like feelings, headaches. Now starting with muscle tension in arms again...does any one know when this will end?!?!?

I have been on Zoloft for about 2.5 months. This is due to increased anxiety/panic attacks that I would have. The first month was torture. Three weeks in I thought I needed a white coat with silver buckles on the back. After the 5th week things finally started to level out. I sleep 110% better. I do have the diarrhea issues - as long as 3 weeks at one time. I've had about a 10-15lb weigh LOSS. Overall I'm very pleased with how it's worked out for me

The first time I was put on zoloft I had diarrhea constantly. I would go out to eat at a restaurant and before I had even left the restaurant, the entire dinner had already passed through me - mostly undigested. I couldn't sleep, but I had tons of energy. This went on for months, and I lost 30 lbs. Along with a lot of hair. I don't remember whether or not I was as twitchy before I started taking zoloft. I've had bad dry mouth, but I've found that Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash help out with that very much. The odd thing is, I had to stop taking zoloft because I changed jobs and couldn't afford it without insurance. Now that I'm back on it, my side effects are completely different. I have major headaches, fatigue, I can sleep all day, and I can't concentrate to save my life. I haven't had any diarrhea, in fact I feel constipated, and hungry. I'm gaining weight instead of losing...?

been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and have been taking zoloft for 2 days. i have experienced dryness in my mouth, diarrhea, extreme drowsiness and had a very strange dream just yesterday. and this after only 2 days of taking it! is this normal?

been taking it for the past 2 days and have been experiencing mild headaches some diarrhea and drowsiness

head zaps and dizziness, diarrhea after forgetting to take the meds for three days and deciding, 'what the hell' i was supposed to get off these anyway...well...it's been a week and a half...it's getting a LITTLE better, but the brain zaps are nuts. I hate them. I want to know when these will end...does anyone know? please?????

I went to the phycologist for insomnia and the DR. siad it was becuase of depression, so he prescribed me Zoloft. I've been on it for 3 months now the only side effects are diarrhea. For me the drug has worked u just need to give it a lil time. You will see the diff.

I was put on Zoloft for treatment of depression and anxiety due to an immense of stress in my personal life. At the beginning I was experiencing headaches, jaw tension, diarrhea and weird dreams. This was 2 months ago. Now I still have intense, vivid dreams, but there not bad dreams, so I don't mind that at all!! I have had NO loss of my sex drive, which a friend said I would, give it time. Thankfully, they were wrong!! I plan on being on Zoloft for 6 months, sbut so far I've seen a big change in both my attitude and emotions. BUT I also am following up with therapy, which is helping a lot too. I don't feel bad or helpless anymore about being on Zoloft or that i have had some personal issues that I needed help with. Now that I'm starting to see I wasn't the bad person in my problems, I realize that the Zoloft helped "clear my head" and helped me to start to become me again.

I TAKE 100MG OF ZOLOFT AND HAVE FOR 2 MONTHS. SINCE I STARTED, I'VE GAINED 25 LBS. I RECENTLY LOST OVER 80 WITH DIET AND EXERCISE CHANGE AND THIS WEIGHT GAIN HAS BEEN A MAJOR BLOW. I ALSO HAVE BEEN GETTING HORRIBLE HEADACHES, I CAN'T HANDLE NOISE AS WELL, AND I'M VERY OUT OF IT. I'VE HAD GAS, UPSET STOMACH, DIARRHEA, AND NAUSEA. I TOOK ZOLOFT ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO WITH MINIMAL SIDE EFFECTS, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CHANGED. LET'S JUST SAY... I'M NOT A FAN OF ZOLOFT ANYMORE!

severe headaches, diarrhea daily, gave me the shakes, insomnia, began grinding my teeth, hypertension, weight gain, couldn't concentrate or focus on anything.
