In reply to just starting zoloft - side effects?, posted by knicknack55 on February 5, 2005, at 16:48:32
trazodone for me is really sedating and at 25 of 50mg, it leaves a hangover that lasts all morning. for me, zoloft was much more activating. my initial side effects were lots of agitation and jumpiness and an inability to sit still. despite this, i too was in classes at the time. i started at 12.5mg and it took me months to get up to 50. sometimes, you've just gotta go back down and go up more slowly, breaking those pills into teeny pieces. if your dr has samples, you can break the 25mg pills as one way to titrate. once i got used to 50mg, i didn't feel so jumpy but i did have some more energy. now, it has pooped out at that dose after 1 1/2 years, but going up further causes more and more agitation, so i've added prozac instead. good luck.
