Sertraline / Zoloft - Wearing Off Time Scale?

hello. :)
I take 50mg per day of Sertraline, normally with my evening meal, as this is what works best for me in terms of managing the nausea and stomach upsets.

As the day progresses and heads towards evening I sometimes feel slightly down - almost as if the Sertraline is at its lowest level and needing topped up. I know it remains in your system for a while after you stop taking it altogether, but can I actually be feeling a drop in level on a daily basis?

I also get mind jolts & zaps on random occasions, like a video jumping or a flash. Very weird but not often enough to warrant a discussion with the Doctor.

Despite if leaving me feeling a bit detached and uncaring at times, and squashing all libido, I do feel that I am better for taking it every day, as I feel more level headed and less emotional.

Does anyone else experience something similar? Thanks.
 
I experienced the same kind of "drop" when I was on 50mg..the doctor upped to 75 and I have been fine ever since. When I first started the higher dose, I had some brain zaps/flashes but once my body adjusted to the new dose, those went away. If you continue to have issues, though, I would definitely talk to your doctor..
