Hi Everyone,

I started Zoloft about 2 month ago to help with pmdd and anxiety but I also have untreated ADHD that I have functioned with my whole life. 5 weeks ago I upped my dose to 50mg, the first bit I felt hopeful, the side effects were manageable and I felt like I was feeling happier, also first couple cycles seemed better in the luteal phase, but this month has come back with a vengeance. My pmdd is back, my ADHD is out of control to the point I can't complete a simple task, it's taking me 5x longer to do anything with constant redirections, my memory is gone, I feel jittery and like I can't get anything done. Almost like my brain is not properly guiding my hands, it's a strange feeling. And I'm having some sexual side effects, it's less sensitive down there... I've been in touch with my psychiatrist and we are going to start ADHD meds for the first time next week. I'm hoping you can help me sort out if my plan is a good one... I'm going to stay on the

Zoloft, add concerta and see how I feel... But I can't help but think that Zoloft is not the med for me? But if I came off it I'd have to go through withdrawals before switching to something else so might be better to hang on a little longer? What would you do? What would you suggest? Do I need to push through to 3 months for the Zoloft? Or is this a good indication it's not for me?

Good afternoon everyone! I have never been medicated for ADHD but was diagnosed a couple of years ago. Usually I manage my ADHD but over the past couple of months I started taking Zoloft for anxiety and pmdd, while it seems to be helping some things, it has intensified my ADHD where I struggle all day to stay on task, working and completing priorities have become very difficult, I have to keep reminding myself to stay on task. Doing the simplest things have become a struggle. This is my first time taking anxiety meds and overall the symptoms haven't been too bad, aside from my exasperated ADHD... So now I'm going down the ADHD med rabbit hole. I understand there are stimulants and non stimulant options. My psychiatrist had left it with me last I met with her that I need to decide what I want to take... Originally she had suggested ADHD meds first but anxiety and pmdd was my biggest obstacle so I decided to treat that first. I'd love to hear if anyone else dealt with this and what worked for you? How did you make a decision on an ADHD med?

How often do gold items show up for you? I've been hoping to see something but with these drips, I'm not seeing much :)

I've been taking Zoloft for a couple months now, I'm currently about 1.5 months into 50mg dose, as of the past week I've had a bad taste coming up from my throat all day, it's driving me crazy, I tried googling it but I see mention of dry mouth, but my mouth isn't dry really, and I've seen acid reflux with burning in your throat but I don't have that either, just a bad taste! Anyone else have this and find a way to get rid of it? Or did it eventually go away? I do have mild heartburn along with it throughout the day.
