Day 7 on 12.5mg, should it be this bad on such a low dose?
I have been avoiding SSRIs for over 15 years since I am so sensitive to the startup (took Lexapro and Paxil when I was younger). So my doctor told me to start on 12.5mg Zoloft for the first two weeks, then bump it to 25mg. Well, even on this low dose, it has completely wrecked me. I am on Day 7. Can’t eat, wired, panic, anxiety - but the worse part is that I have this weird physical sensation in my head that feels really messed up. I feel like I’m going insane. I cant go to work, leave my house - just sit on my couch all day waiting for things to go away. I can barely even watch TV. Is this normal for starting such a low dose 12.5mg? I’m at a loss if this is dangerous and I should stop…or keep pushing through. I’m worried this is bad for me. Any advise? Thanks
