For context, I have been struggling with GAD/Panic Disorder my whole life, I’m in remission from depression, and have been recently diagnosed with insomnia.
I (F20) recently started taking Zoloft for the first time almost 3 weeks ago, and besides nausea I haven’t really felt any effects. However, in the past week I have been feeling less and less motivated to do anything but lay in bed and scroll on TikTok, and then today I got hit with a large wave of sadness (which I haven’t really felt since middle school). I had a situationship ghost me out of the blue today, so the sadness may be because of that, but I also didn’t feel this torn up and broken a year ago when i was cheated on and broke up with my previous partner. Is this normal? Should I stop taking the Zoloft? The sadness is so consuming right now that I can’t fall asleep.
I guess I just want to get a gauge and see if this is normal, or if anyone has any advice for getting through this period of time on starting medication. I have roommates and friends who know of my situation, but they don’t really know how to support me/dont seem inclined to help me get through this. My parents want me to stop taking the Zoloft, but I’m determined to get through this because I’ve heard of how great Zoloft can be for anxiety.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
