I'm on my second try of an antidepressant. First one was Effexor and I had horrible side effects. Switched to Zoloft 25mg about 12 days ago. After about 4 days I thought I was feeling better but now I'm wondering if that was just placebo. Then skip to about days 7 or 8 to today and I feel, well, shitty. I'm more irritable, easily overwhelmed, definitely more tired (need a lot more sleep) and overall just feel a lot more down. ;(

My boyfriend said I've been wild in my sleep. Tossing and turning, yelling and smacked him. :( :( :( I've also been having nightmares.

My question is, is this normal? I've heard people say, antidepressants pull you down then bring you back up. But maybe that's bs? 

All I know, is this isn't me. I feel pretty terrible. 

I go back to my Dr in 4 days for a check-up.

Advice is greatly appreciated.
