Can anyone explain this INSANELY odd reaction to zoloft?

You experienced side-effects, including some of which are covered by the Black Box warning on the drug, like mania, quite possibly akathisia, hypersensitivity to stimuli, and loss of motor control/shakes. If you have a read of the literature that came with the medication, then you'll find pretty much everything you've said is covered by the warnings/precautions. If you go to rxlist.com, you can read it all there.

The dose that triggered it isn't really important... you just had a nasty reaction to the drug. The dreams/reality confusion is also known about & has been reported.

Medications sometimes have unusal side effects. I once was paralyzed for hours after being given the antibiotic Erythromycin. You never know how a drug will affect you until it is in your system. If your doctor is prescribing Zoloft for minor anxiety and sleep issues, you need a new doctor. The best answers for anxiety, insomnia and other mental health issues are found in only one place: The bible. I'd encourage you to check out the website below.

i looked up the side effects-

Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.

My thoughts are (since i take a lot of meds including zoloft) is that you were on too high of a dose, why i think that is because i was on zoloft and i had 2 or 3 symptoms but when they lowerd it i was fine (some people have to take lower doeses. I see these really big people who are on a small amout and these small plp who are on large)

hope i helped =]]

It sounds like you had ataxia. I am not an expert, but recently I have had a very bad reaction to another neuroleptic...mine was that my muscles froze in a bad position and I literally could not move...but the thing is, sometimes things don't work for you. But don't give up. I'm dealing with medications at this point too, with no luck so far... But do what your doctor says. It's still very much worth it to try another...I promise. It can be scary, but you can get through it.

You endured and lived through a severe reaction. Many of those drugs are not good. Try meditation to help with your Anxiety. There has got to be other ways to help , thus eliminating these drugs that just cause more drama. Many times hallucinations go with these meds and in time get worse.

Not every one reacts well to any medication. This sounds like an overdose to me.

This is a poor choice in my opinion for "minor" anxiety and sleep issues.
