| 2 | depression and anxiety | EXTREME weight gain. Being tired all the time. No motivation or energy. | I have been on this medication for about two years. For the first year and a half the anxiety was almost non existent but because of the extreme weight gain (46 pounds) I was even more depressed and have zero self esteem. The medication wore off but instead of upping my dose I switched to a new medication because of the weight gain. Keep in mind since I noticed the weight gain I have been eating a lot healthier and exercising more and I still continued to pack on the pounds. Some people gain some people lose. My side effects were just very unfortunate. | F | 23 | 2 years 50 mg | 3/20/2015 | 4 | Anxiety | Anorgasmia (BUT increased libido!?!), dry mouth, poor appetite, longer sleep cycles | Allie Brosh has an excellent quote about what it feels like to be depressed: "Every direction looks like bullshit." That's how I felt when I began taking Zoloft. In two weeks, it was like a cloud had lifted from my head. I felt effortlessly cheerful. I can't orgasm and I drink water like it's going out of style, but life no longer seems like a pointless chore. I'll take the side effects. | F | 28 | 3 months 50mg 1X day | 3/18/2015 | 4 | Low mood. Anxiety. | Don't know. | Elevated mood. | F | 29 | 3 months 50 | 3/15/2015 | 3 | depression/anxiety/panic (unknown) | Where do I start..I think for me are leg muscle aches/cramps..dusty throat..no sleep...brain fog..fatigue...being stuck not being able to do anything...staying in bed most of day...lazy...arm and hand numbness...chest chest pain(pressure)...weight loss... Loss of appetite are the most bothersome.. Of course dry mouth excessive. | I don't know. Recently moved and will be seeing a new doctor next week | F | 54 | 2 months 100mg | 3/12/2015 | 3 | Depression | Still very early days, worst side effect is excessive thirst and feeling a little nauseous. Also lost my appetite a little but generally, I feel like a different person from last week when I was suicidal. The medicine appears to be having some positive effect. | F | 20 | 3 days 50mg 1X day | 2/28/2015 | 1 | Anxiety | Migraines,Anxiety, nausea,vomiting for hours, brain fog, loss of appetite, and insomnia. | F | 40 | 2 days 50mg | 2/23/2015 | 1 | Depression | Took the pill for depression for a year and a half, extreme weight gain, no sex drive, even more depressed. | F | 24 | 1 years 150mg x d | 2/21/2015 | 4 | anxiety | nystagmus was horrible blurry vision nausea vertigo but all this stared after being on it ten years. had to stop because of that. has anyone ever experienced these systom? | F | 59 | 10 years 100 | 2/18/2015 | 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 | 5 | 1X day | 2/8/2015 | 3 | PTSD anxiety OCD depression | No appetite I went 3 days without eating and didn't realise until my partner was ramming a sandwich down me, now just a smaller appetite and still forget to eat. Blurred vision, diarrhoea, nausea, heart burn, hyper/wired can stay awake for 48hrs so have to take a sedative to sleep, insomnia, brain zaps/waves like vertigo but whilst sitting, speech problems and speech block, memory loss, suicidal thoughts with one attempt, dry mouth, involuntary movements like jerking. Reading through this yes the side effects have been awful and pretty persistent but I'll now explain below... | ... Basically I anise these tablets no end and take up to 800-1000mg hence all the side effects, but because I abused them so heavily at the start a normal dose now gives me withdrawal which gives all the above side effects. So they work just don't abuse them or get blinding drunk as trying to kill yourself happens. | F | 22 | 2 months 100mg | 1/13/2015 | 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 | MAJOR anxiety/panic/ocd/depression | Brain fog, derealization/depersonalization, lack of concentration, hard time remembering things | I had MAJOR panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, intrusive thoughts, general anxiety. Zoloft is helping. No weight gain, no extreme side effects. I just dont like the brain fog and detached feeling. | F | 16 | 3 months 25 MG | 1/7/2015 | 5 | Anxiety | None | Love it | F | 14 | 9 months 50 MG | 12/30/2014 | 5 | Anxiety | Decreased sex drive | I suffered from general anxiety, hypochondria and intrusive thoughts for several years. I gave Celexa a try several years ago and didn't fin that it worked for me. I finally suffered a mental breakdown in October of 2013. I began cognitive therapy and 50 mg of Zoloft and feel much better. I had paralyzing obsessive thought patterns that left me feeling completely hopeless. Right off the bat, Zoloft made me feel like I could finally breathe again. I still get intrusive thoughts, but I am able to move past them without obsessing. Hypochondria has decreased in a massive way. General anxiety is much easier to deal with. No negative side effects other than decreased sex drive, which has gotten better with time. I don't feel as if I am "on" any sort of drug when I take it, and even if I take it a little bit later than normal one day, I don't feel any sort of withdrawal other than a slight mental jitteriness. All medications work differently for each person, and I'm glad that I found the one that allows me to live my life normally. | F | 23 | 1 years 50 MG 1X day | 12/17/2014 | 4 | Major anxiety | Frequent migraines, some dizziness. Trouble sleeping at night but never during the day | I started the meds my senior year of high school because of college choosing and working and whatever other problems high school caused (a lot). After about 6 months I stopped taking the meds but I recently started them back up. Doctor said 25 mg doesn't really do anything it just gets you started the first week by the way. I still get paranoid about things (mostly about boyfriend stuff even though it's going great for a year) have trouble talking to people I don't know (I dont) hoping one day to wake up and not be so scared of life. Currently I'm not in college and don't have a job. Don't be me. Get help before it's too late. | F | 19 | 1 years 50 mg | 12/17/2014 | 2 | Depression | Extreme weight gain, mental fogginess, severe lethargy, numbing of emotions, erectile dysfunction | I gained 70 lbs. over the two years I took Zoloft without changing my eating habits. It made me feel extremely lethargic to the point I got winded from just standing up, and I was a pretty fit person at the time. I had no energy and it was hard to concentrate on anything. I no longer felt depressed, but that was because I barely felt anything other than the desire to sleep. Sex was impossible because it caused extreme ED. I had to get off of it for my weight and because my girlfriend was not too happy that I could never perform sexually any more. | M | 29 | 2 years N/A 1X day | 12/17/2014 | 1 | Anxiety/Depression | Depression, panic attack, loss of concentration, pounding headaches, loss of sleep, and vomiting. | I don't like this medication. It made all my symptoms worse, and did not do what it was supposed to do. I don't reccomend zoloft. | F | 12 | 2 months 50 | 12/15/2014 | 4 | Depression, PTSD | Dry Mouth, decreased libido, detachment from reality, fatigue, short term memory loss | I've taken several different anti depressants as prescribed by my local VA physician. This medication has been the best on me. I have gained weight off this med, but negligible. | M | 31 | 3 years 100 MG 1X day | 12/5/2014 | 1 | gad | Insomnia,weird sleep patterns,flu like symptoms,headaches,body aches,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,depression. | Was on this medication several years ago and stopped taking it as it did nothing for depression or anxiety...and several years later it still does nothing. wouldn't recommend this one. | M | 33 | 3 weeks | 12/2/2014 |
