5th Zoloft Update - Feeling Okay
August 30, 2026··
Feeling okay. Been having bouts of nausea, insomnia, fatigue, gi upset, and appetite changes. Only slept 2 hours last night. I couldn’t tolerate the withdrawal anymore so I updosed to 15 mg. Feeling very jittery and nauseous but overall better- the flulike feeling and malaise is gone. Planning on staying here for the foreseeable future.

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.
