I am slowly building up a dose, so I'm hoping that'll help as I go and my doctor has been reassuring that it can just take time. Worrying that I'd react badly was part of why I put off (and put off some more!) entertaining the idea of medication, but it's definitely time to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-question#post-2901300 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 10:18:40 +0000 pachamama 2901300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not have a good experience with Zoloft but I didn't notice that.. I know it can take weeks and weeks to acclimate yourself to it. I'm sure the dry mouth will go away! Make sure you're starting slowly like 25mg then building up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-question#post-2901295 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 09:49:24 +0000 caitcat 2901295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: @peechykeen: Thank you both! It's encouraging to hear that some of the side effects faded for you within a few weeks. That feels in sight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-question#post-2901292 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 09:30:22 +0000 Sams Mom 2901292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had dry mouth for a couple weeks at most. I take it at night so it doesn't make a difference that it makes me a little groggy. It effects my sex drive a little, but the times I've been on it is post partum and during pregnancy... Sooooo that could just be the hormone roller coaster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-question#post-2901288 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 08:55:18 +0000 peachykeen 2901288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't comment on the dry mouth specifically, but Zoloft side effects in general (headaches, whatever) tend to get better after the first few weeks. Some doctors suggest easing into your dose - lower dose first few weeks and then increase. This is what I did and my headaches and other symptoms went away after a few weeks. Hang in there! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zoloft-question#post-2901274 Fri, 01 Nov 2019 06:42:18 +0000 caitcat 2901274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Random question...but I think a few of you ladies have mentioned taking this before when I looked back at older posts, and I have a question about Zoloft side effects I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on. I started taking it a couple days ago (after debating it for like two years...it's time to try something for some anxiety I just can't shake) and the only side effect I've noticed so far is a ridiculous dry mouth. My doctor had mentioned this as a potential side effect, but I'm wondering if it's one that can improve over time? </p> <p>On the plus side, I think I'll be better hydrated than ever before because all I do is guzzle water, but it's going to drive me nuts! :) </p>
