I'm only a med student & also have a degree in addiction studies but I have taken zoloft for a few months & the symptoms you describe are very common with initial doses of zoloft. Sweating, indigestion & changes in appetite can also be side effects which is not great for you as these symptoms can feel similar to anxiety. I also had insomnia for a few nights but after this I ...

Thanks for your reply. My GP ( my local one) was away when I came out of hospital, and the GP who gave me the valium prescription said 2.5 - 5mg twice daily as needed. I have learnt from trial and error, that taking it just before I feel something coming on, does nothing. I learnt this by my horse riding experience, felt the freaking out, took it, hopped on, still got it ...
