Lack of concentration and Zoloft

[TheDarkComes]

I've been on Zoloft for a couple months now but have noticed that I am not able to concentrate and lose track of what I am supposed to be working on and go to another task. I don't want to change medications as I am worried my anxiety and depression will come back quite quickly before the new meds kick in. I can handle the other side-effects as the benefits have been a decrease in suicidal thoughts and being able to eat. The other issue I am having is feeling numb all the time. I had this before with a different medication but I thought that it was simply that the meds were not allowing me to think on my own. Zoloft is allowing me to think but when I feel low I simply feel numb. Sorry for the rambling, just wondering if someone else has experienced that or not on Zoloft?

Zoloft is one of the meds I take and yes, I have concentration issues.

I brought this up to my psychiatrist and he lowered my zoloft dose. I am now able to read books and watch tv for a long period of time.

You should tell your psychiatrist about this and see if he'll lower the dosage.

I experienced all that you describe when on it. I dont really have any advice. Coming off it solved it for me but i just wanted to let you know that i understand your frustrations.

Thanks for the advice, I will have to book an appointment.
