"had been taking zoloft 50mg about a year, then when my life stress increased, it wasn&#039;t helping me cope well. im also taking generic adderal 10mg 2x daily which helps more with mood, focus, and anxiety. since generic effexor is working so well for my daughter, i had asked my psychiatrist if i could try it. from day one it seemed like a miracle and for about half a year i felt pretty normal. doc thought 75mg dose was too low, but once i went up in dose. i started the downward spiral of side effects. on day 3 now, taking zoloft 50mg again, per the doc, but feel horrible, physically and ever so crazy now and then. i&#039;m older female and sure don&#039;t need this. wouldn&#039;t suggest this med to anyone over 30 because it&#039;s so nasty to change from."
