I was just diagnosed with Post Tramatic Stress Disorder. OEF Vet. I was prescribed 25mg Zoloft. It is making me more nervous, anctious, I am shaking, sometimes I have to stand up and move around, my legs cant stop moving up and down. I also have taken a test online that said I am Highly probable to have Combined Attention Defecit disorder, Basal Ganglia hyperactivity, and Limbic Disorder.
sh-it I dont know what to do. I always known i had ADD but never taken any meds for it. Could I be having a reaction to the Zoloft because of my ADD. My first day on Zoloft, I got crazy negative thought that something bad is going to happen. Today I have that and all the aforementioned symptoms. I am not going to take anymore and talk to my Dr. Monday.
Question is, does anyone have such a reaction to Zoloft and if anyone knows - does any of the above disorders have an negative reaction to Zoloft? :eek:

Everyone can react different to meds. Sometimes the side effects will go away
after a couple of weeks other times they dont. I found a list of side effects on
Zoloft. Sounds like you everthing you describe could very well be due to the
side effects. If you find you cant tolerate this med check with you doctor about trying something different. Below is the list of side effects thru Healthsquare.

What side effects may occur?
Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Zoloft.
More common side effects may include:
Abdominal pain, agitation, anxiety, constipation, decreased sex drive, diarrhea or loose stools, difficulty with ejaculation, dizziness, dry mouth, fatigue, gas, headache, decreased appetite, increased sweating, indigestion, insomnia, nausea, nervousness, pain, rash, sleepiness, sore throat, tingling or pins and needles, tremor, vision problems, vomiting
Less common or rare side effects may include:
Acne, allergic reaction, altered taste, back pain, blindness, breast development in males, breast pain or enlargement, breathing difficulties, bruise-like marks on the skin, cataracts, changeable emotions, chest pain, cold, clammy skin, conjunctivitis (pinkeye), coughing, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, double vision, dry eyes, eye pain, fainting, feeling faint upon arising from a sitting or lying position, feeling of illness, female and male sexual problems, fever, fluid retention, flushing, frequent urination, hair loss, heart attack, hemorrhoids, hiccups, high blood pressure, high pressure within the eye (glaucoma), hearing problems, hot flushes, impotence, inability to stay seated, increased appetite, increased salivation, increased sex drive, inflamed nasal passages, inflammation of the penis, intolerance to light, irregular heartbeat, itching, joint pains, kidney failure, lack of coordination, lack of sensation, leg cramps, menstrual problems, low blood pressure, migraine, movement problems, muscle cramps or weakness, need to urinate during the night, nosebleed, pain upon urination, prolonged erection, purplish spots on the skin, racing heartbeat, rectal hemorrhage, respiratory infection/lung problems, ringing in the ears, rolling eyes, sensitivity to light, sinus inflammation, skin eruptions or inflammation, sleepwalking, sores on tongue, speech problems, stomach and intestinal inflammation, swelling of the face and throat, swollen wrists and ankles, thirst, throbbing heartbeat, twitching, vaginal inflammation, hemorrhage or discharge, yawning
Zoloft may also cause mental or emotional symptoms such as:
Abnormal dreams or thoughts, aggressiveness, exaggerated feeling of well-being, depersonalization ("unreal" feeling), hallucinations, impaired concentration, memory loss, paranoia, rapid mood shifts, suicidal thoughts, tooth-grinding, worsened depression
Many people lose a pound or two of body weight while taking Zoloft. This usually poses no problem but may be a concern if your depression has already caused you to lose a great deal of weight.
In a few people, Zoloft may trigger the grandiose, inappropriate, out-of-control behavior called mania or the similar, but less dramatic, "hyper" state called hypomania.
