Episodes of shaking vision caused by Zoloft?

Posted by flip-floppy on September 3, 2006, at 10:07:15

After starting on Zoloft I have been experiencing this visual phenomena. It's like my vision starts shaking for about 10 seconds, several times a day. Have anyone else experienced this on Zoloft or other SSRIs? It's kind of cool, but also slightly freaky.

Can't say that I have on other SSRIs, but Zoloft is the only one that has any very minor dopaminergic activity, which includes vision, so maybe that plays a part. I'd ask your doctor.

I only take 50 mg, so that wouldn't be enough to experience any dopaminergic action. It does feel like getting high, though... :)
