Depression, Job Change, Stress. Prescribed Zoloft, Fluttering, Nervous Shaking Internally. Treatment?
I recently had some depression . I am not normally a depressed person but i had a job change and the stress of getting to where i am now was tough. i asked my doctor for some Zoloft which i took for 30 days. i started feeling like my insides were fluttering like a nervous shake. there was no visible shaking but i felt it internally. i stopped taking the zoloft but still have a light sensation of flutters.

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Public Forum
Your above symptoms indicate presence of anxiety and depression. These problem may occur due to following reasons:
-Psychological issues: need treatment from psychiatrist. Anti anxiety treatment will help you greatly.
-Biochemical and hormonal imbalance: need evaluation specially for thyroid gland.
-Vitamin deficiency: as you have unusual inner sensations
-Excessive work stress
In my opinion you should continue treatment with zoloft as advised by your physician. Some time dose need to increase for improvement.
Apart from that aerobic exercise, effective time management, breathing exercise, healthy diet and yoga will help you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Wish you Good Health.
Regards,
Dr. Ashish Mittal
