| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZOLOFT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | anxiety, focus issues | Some yawning, delayed ejaculation but subsided, soar throat (not sure if it's due to Zoloft) | This stuff really works for me. Be patient, I tried 6 other drugs first. Paxil drove me nuts. Neurontin and trycyclics didn't work at all. I could feel this stuff work the first day, although full effects usually take a few weeks or more. I was actually able to run the NYC Marathon this year. Be careful of what you read on the internet. Most people cured by these meds don't think to post messages. Only the people who are having trouble do, so most of what you read will be negative and this will make you depressed. Find a doctor you trust, ask how he/she can be reached off hours so you know you have a support line, and be patient. It will pay off. FYI I'm at 150mgs. | M | 5 months | 12/11/2005 | 5 | Post below taken for 1 year, not one day. | | 2/22/2006 | 5 | | 6/13/2006 | 5 | | 10/14/2004 | 5 | | 10/14/2004 | 5 | depression | M | 3 months | 7/3/2002 | 5 | | 1/12/2005 | 5 | Depression and | | 1/17/2005 | 5 | | 2/9/2005 | 5 | Ehm? | groggy, nausia, irritation, mood swings.... so what are the negative effects? | M | | 5/14/2005 | 5 | depression | None | I tried 4 other meds before Zoloft and had either no relief or bad side effects from all those pills. I noticed an almost immediate improvement with Zoloft and have had no side effects. It is so important to find out which antidepressant works best for YOU. | F | 2 years | 6/26/2008 | 5 | 1X day | 2/8/2015 | 4 | Depression | I only experienced side effects such as Nausea for the first week or two of taking this medication. Though I do have extreme withdrawal symptoms if I skip more than one day. Withdrawal for me is being dizzy and extremely sleepy. | This medication is supposedly supposed to help with anxiety, but for me, I have to take a second medication for that. | F | 2 years 150MG 1X day | 2/17/2015 | 4 | | 2/25/2009 | 4 | | 4/15/2008 | 4 | | 8/26/2008 | 4 | F | | 12/6/2007 | 4 | | 8/24/2004 | 4 | | 5/7/2004 | 4 | Depression and Obsessive thinking | Took a dose at night and I woke up with flu like symptoms. Doctor said to split the dose and take it in the morning for a few days. Stomach had a rough time tolerating it. Quit it one time cold turkey and ended up with very bad stomach problems. Rapid weight gain but was probably from my appetite coming back. | I took this drug from the time I was 17 to 18 years old. Excellent drug for getting me out of the three month depression I was in. I had never been depressed before and high school started to suck so it hit me. It took a few weeks but worked really well once it kicked in. Could not have a natural orgasm though. | F | 6 months 1X day | 5/30/2012 |
ZOLOFT (SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE): Sertraline is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), and a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). This medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. It may decrease fear, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks. It may also reduce the urge to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand-washing, counting, and checking) that interfere with daily living. Sertraline is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain. FDA Approval Date: 1991-12-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
