Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hello to you all. I finally asked for a mood stabilizing medication after 4 years of trying to just do talk therapy for the anxiety that the depression causes about my disease (NSIP) Well, the psychologist told me to talk to the pulmodude and he told me to talk to my GP. So, after all this talking...I was prescribed a very low dose of Zoloft ( 25mg nightly) that's about 1/10th the normal dose. The GP did this because he is so aware of my other medications and my sensitivity to many drugs. Well..after just 2 days my GI system is in an uproar, I'm lightheaded and not happy!!! Supposedly the GI side effects calm down after a week...can't wait a week! Zoloft itself doesn't really start to have any effect for several weeks...so now what? I have a call into the GP..I'm planning on not taking the Zoloft again. I have things to do We're busy this week-end...I want to be OK. I've just read about Zoloft on line and the side effects are comon but eventually subside!!! I really don't have the time to feel so lousy waiting for the benefits! Your suggestions would really be appreciated. I can't leave home...the GI stuff keeps me very near the ladies room! I just want to feel more like "Me" -- Z fibriotic NSIP/05 Z 65, fibriotic NSIP/05/PA And “mild” PH/10/07 and Reynaud’s too!! No, NSIP was not self-inflicted…I never smoked!
