4th Zoloft Update - Feeling Poor
August 29, 2026··
Feeling poor. Been having bouts of nausea, fatigue, and insomnia. After having an incredible day yesterday, I only slept 3 hours and decided to very slightly increase my dose to 14.3 to see if it helps. Goal is to go back up to 15 mg if necessary to stabilize.

Zoloft —50 mg to 15 mg — 8 years with a cold turkey and reinstatement in between— was liquid micro tapering, crashed at 14.275 mg and now holding at 15 mg.

Okay, sounds like a good plan. Just make sure you give yourself plenty enough time to see if a dose increase works. It can take some time.
