| 5 | Depression | A intese dislike for people who use these forums to use language that clearly idenitfies them as an IDIOT. | As I am reading this forum, I noticed one or two (maybe same person)people using bad language & "dissing" the use of Zoloft. Personally I have had success in using Zoloft and feel that if a person has an honest opinion, then by all means, express it. But, words like this person is using (you know which words I am referring to) simply confirms that this person is sorely uneducated and is ignorant of the fact that the english language has many more options than what they are aware of. My suggestion is to get a Thesaurus & a Dictionary & get studying! (and leave this forum to those who want to help themselves & others) | 39 | 1 years | 1/17/2006 | 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 | insomnia | 17 | 5 weeks | 11/4/2003 | 5 | | 1/12/2005 | 5 | Depression and | | 1/17/2005 | 5 | Tourettes Syndrome | No side affects. | This was my doctors idea, to relieve anxiety with intentions of lowering my tics (tourettes)... less stress, less tics.. so far it's working great. I'm at 75mg | 25 | 1 months | 1/25/2005 | 5 | | 2/9/2005 | 5 | PTSD | weight gain and decreased libido. Otherwise it has been life-changing. | Zoloft has been life-changing! I was put on it for PTSD and came on it after trying a number of therapies (EMDR, CBT) and meds (Ativan, Wellbutrin etc.).Now I am mostly symptom-free. | 36 | 1.5 years | 6/30/2009 | 5 | clinical depression | Headaches,diarrhea,irregular sleep patterns. | Went through a major depressive period in my life where i was in a very dark place and almost suicidal. Suffèred from bouts of emotional overload where i coulďn't stop crying. Massive waves of emotion just swamped me. Doctor concerned enough to suggest cognitive behaviour therapy (cbt) with a mental health practitioner.along with zoloft. Didnt think either was having much effect until after a couple of months i realised the emotional waves had stopped and i was beginning to laugh again. Very happy with zoloft. Have had periods of coming off Zoloft "cold turkey" but suffered bad pounding headaches and irregular sleep patterns, especially waking up very early. Diarrhea was a problem but nothing compared to other two. Now back on Zoloft for forseeable guture. | 58 | 2 years 50mg | 11/30/2014 | 5 | 1X day | 2/8/2015 | 4 | Major Depression | Initially akathesia, mania, mixed states, cycling like a yo-yo. Felt like I was on speed. No gastric problems. | I had to start on 12.5 mg every two weeks and titrate very slowly because this stuff was stimulating for me. It took me 8 months to go to 200 mg. It also took months for depression to leave, but even then I needed Lithium 300mg per day to keep vitamin D levels in blood high so that I would be 100% depression-free. On a scale of 1-10 depression was a 20. Depression started when periods came back from decades of absence. I take some drug holidays to give my receptors a break. | 50 | 7 years 200 mg 1X day | 1/12/2015 | 4 | | 2/25/2009 | 4 | | 8/26/2008 | 4 | | 4/15/2008 | 4 | | 5/7/2004 | 4 | | 8/24/2004 | 3 | | 8/8/2004 |
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)
