MyPTSD Pro
Started Zoloft/Sertraline a week ago. It was making me really, really shaky and anxious, and I spent hours in bed convulsing yesterday and this afternoon. That seems to have subsided, but the other side effects remain and they're making me feel like I'm losing my mind.
I'm hyper sensitive to sound. Everything is amped up - the sounds of my pants on the couch when I move, the hum of the refrigerator, everything sounds a million times louder than I think it should. Patterns and textures are more visually alluring, to the point where I'm spending an obscene amount of time just looking at the texture of a blanket or the wall, so absorbed I can't pull myself out.
I alternate between feeling so awful and depressed and feeling like i'm going to burst out laughing.
I see my doctor in two days, so I'll definitely talk to her about this. But is it normal? I know I'm really sensitive to medications, and I'm trying to give this a fair shot before I decide to call it quits, but I'm not sure if this is within the realm of what I should tolerate or not.
