Bipolar Support Group

Day 2 on a higher dose and today I feel tired and just wierd?

Hello, I am new to this group and I was treated for depression only for about 4 years but just a few months ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar.. I have taken Zoloft for about 4 years now and I tell you it helps me a lot.. The first week its a lil weird, my emotions felt out of control and I think I even felt very manic however the second week I started to see and feel the difference, i felt more leveled. I tell you as soon as I stop taking it I just can feel myself spiraling down... Tip, keep yourself hydrated.. for me the most noticeable side effect is the chapped lips and the thirsts...

Hi cndersoot, I think it will go away in time. Give it a chance to get in your system. Most antidepressants take a couple of weeks to get fully in your system. I used Zoloft before and it worked very well. I hope it works well for you!!!
