| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZOLOFT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | Depression, anxiety | At first couldnt orgasm for a month, diarrhea, shakiness, inability to sit still, restless, anxiety | All side effects went away after about a week. Zoloft has been very good at helping my anxiety, DP/DR, and suicidal thoughts and feeling chronic sadness however over the years it has stopped working at giving me more energy and allowing me to enjoy things. Still works for anxiety tho. Haven't been feeling much joy in life over the last couple years but that could just be because of covid. Chronic fatigue is getting worst tho. Overall I've had success with this medication. Side effects went away pretty quick and I feel this drug saved my life. Worth a try. | M | 26 | 11 years 200 1X day | 2/27/2022 | 2 | Anxiety | F | 67 | 8 months 100 1X day | 2/25/2022 | 3 | Severe Major Depression | Initially felt like I was on speed. Went manic, then crashed, and kept cycling. Had some sweats for a day. Makes me mildly flat. | I used to take it for depression but the depression was cured by antibiotics meant for a sinus infection. Zoloft did nothing for depression as long as I ate certain foods. I now take it for OCD and panic attacks. It is so-so for either of them. | F | 57 | 17 years 200 1X day | 1/15/2022 | 1 | Anxiety depression | Racing heart palpations shaky. Heart rate high then low. Blood sugar low. Dizzy feeling of going to pass out. Effects come on after 7 to 9 hrs after taking. Cold feeling and headache | I had a espoide of feeling really ill went to Dr's had ECG. I halved the dose and wasn't to bad the next day increased to dose prescribed and was ill again 7 hrs after taking. On the point of calling a Ambulance. | F | 62 | 9 days 50mg 1X day | 12/16/2021 | 5 | Mdd, anxiety, suicidal ideation | Loss of sex drive. Emotional blunting. | The emotional blunting is part of why this works for me. You do have to take it regularly. A big part of my mental issues through my 20s I attribute to never taking my antidepressants regularly. | M | 36 | 10 years 100mg 1X day | 12/13/2021 | 1 | GAD | Complete loss of libido. Weight gain. | It worked a little bit for me but it's not worth the side effects. I am going back to diazepam. | M | 45 | 3 weeks 50 mg 1X day | 11/13/2021 | 1 | Anxiety and depression | I'm only in my first 2 weeks of taking this so can't judge it just yet. I have taken it previously and it worked great. I do not like the side effects nausea, loss of appetite and having constant racing thoughts | I'm praying this med works again for me as it helped in the past. I don't know why I keep looking up side effects as maybe that's not helping but I just need some kind of release from this constant way of life | F | 40 | 2 days 50 1X day | 10/18/2021 | 5 | Anxiety and Depression | loss of libido, mild drowsiness, mild muscle twitches. | Completely changed my life. Intrusive/suicidal thoughts stopped, doom spirals stopped... I stopped worrying and started living. 50mg/day is all it took. Stick it out. It took about 4 weeks for it to REALLY start working. Say goodbye to your sex drive however, but it's worth it if you ask me. | M | 21 | 3 months 50mg 1X day | 10/15/2021 | 5 | Anxiety, disordered sleep | Brief nausea for a day or two. | I had been suffering from chronic anxiety and delayed sleep onset / sleep maintenance disorder since I was a teenager. I existed in a state of chronic sleep deprivation, emotional incontinence, and anxiety bordering on paranoia. No amount of conservative therapy seemed to help. Sertraline helped me achieve a sense of normalcy that I've never felt in my life. I feel like I can be a functioning adult. I no longer have random heart palpitations or doom spirals, I no longer take over an hour to fall asleep, and I no longer wake up 3+ times in the night with a racing heart. Small things that used to occupy all of my mental and emotional energy no longer bother me. I have my life back. | M | 31 | 2 years 50MG 1X day | 10/11/2021 | 1 | Extreme anxiety from another med | Racing heart, depersonalization and derealization. I felt like I wasn't even here. Memory problems. Sexual dysfunction. Depression, flat effect. | I only took this once. Unbelievable!! Side effects are crazy. I was only trying to help myself but instead permanently damaged myself. Don't take this shit. If anyone has healed from an SSRI of one dose please contact me or if anything helped you. | F | 22 | 1 days 50 1X day | 10/4/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | I took the non therapeutic dose of 25mg. Doctor prescribed 50mg but I asked for a smaller dose just in case I won't tolerate. After I took the dose, I went to shower and stared to feel sick. I threw up and fell on the floor bagging God to not let me die this way. Horrible experience. Never again. | F | 44 | 1 days 25mg 1X day | 8/28/2021 | 4 | Depression | Weight gain , dry mouth, poor sleeping, very forgetful,tired, lethargic | F | 52 | 25 years 100mg 1X day | 8/13/2021 | 5 | Anxiety , insomnia | A few nights of discomfort - hot flushes, restlessness, insomnia got worse | Despite all my side effects I started to feel the difference a few days after I started taking this drug. My mind stopped racing like crazy and bad thoughts (especially at night) stopped torturing me. I feel calm and think clearly. I found it better for me to take this medicine in the morning with breakfast, because it makes me very energetic initially and it's perfect for the morning, as it doesn't affect my sleep. My insomnia got much better with this drug. I can fall asleep without sleep aid tablets and feel good in the morning. I still wake up at night and in take me a while fall asleep, however I feel a dramatic change. | F | 37 | 2 weeks 50 1X day | 7/22/2021 | 4 | Depression & anxiety | Nausea for the first month. | Didnt quite help with depression until I upped the dose to 75mgs. Now I rarely ever feel depressed or have suicidal thoughts. Havent had a panic attack since i started taking it | M | 20 | 2 years 75mg 1X day | 5/28/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | Nausea, increased anxiety, vomiting, headache, drowsiness, chills, fever, flushed, heart palpitations | I only took one pill and had horrible side effects. I couldn't keep food down, had worsened anxiety, and felt horrible all around. I stopped after one dose and will not take this drug ever again. | F | 33 | 1 days 25mg 1X day | 5/7/2021 | 4 | anxiety | Tired, weight gain. | Has helped with anxiety. | F | 54 | 5 years 50 mg 1X day | 4/25/2021 | 5 | Extreme anxiety, panic attacks and | The first few weeks I had mild headaches, nausea, dry mouth, diarrhea. Anxiety did get a little worse before it got better. | I suffered for years with extreme anxiety, panic attacks and depression to the point I hated to leave the house, drive around town (at the thought of getting killed in an accident). I kept my children away from so many things because I feared it would hurt them. My heart would race so fast and hard that I would have to call family or friends to calm me down. I was easily frustrated with every little thing. I used so many excuses not to go anywhere or socialize with anyone. I cried a great deal randomly for no reason. It was zoloft that gave me my life back. Thankful for this medication in so many ways. My children and husband finally have the old me back, the best me. It did take over a month to see full affects, but it is working a great deal for me. I no longer suffer heart racing anxiety, severe panic attacks or depression. I am much happier with myself and my life than I was years ago. I love the new me, all thanks to ZOLOFT! Give it a chance, don't give up. Some may take a few months before seeing full affects. I did get discouraged the first 3 weeks because I felt it wasn't doing much. But my husband pushed me. And thankful he did. | F | 32 | 1 months 50mg 1X day | 4/22/2021 | 3 | Depression | At first I went into mild mania. It was enjoyable, but I would crash into depression after several days. Doc added Seroquel as a mood stabilizer and the cycling stopped. I felt very hyper for four months as it was very stimulating | I had horrible depression because I was eating foods that would give me depression. As long as I avoided the foods I was okay, One day I had a severe sinus infection. Two courses of antibiotics must have killed enough bad gut bacteria. After the antibiotics I was able to eat whatever I wanted. The horrible depression left. I still take it for OCD, but Zoloft seems to be marginally effective for OCD. . | F | 56 | 16 years 150 1X day | 4/6/2021 | 1 | Depression, suicidal ideation | Blunted emotions, apathy, lethargy, low sex drive, difficulty achieving orgasm | I felt like a zombie on Zoloft, like a completely different person, but not in a good way. Had diarrhea when tapering off of the drug. | F | 31 | 90 days 1X day | 4/3/2021 | 3 | Depression | Some trouble staying asleep.. | 73 | 2 days 50 mg 1X day | 3/6/2021 |
