| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZOLOFT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Chest tightness | Horrific long lasting effects - took for only 5-6 weeks at low dose and been off it for 4 months and still suffer: severe anxiety, panic, depersonalization/derealization, brain fog, vision problems, inner dread, suicidal ideation, never ever any of had these before zoloft | I went from a multi functional go go happy active and fit woman , mother, wife, neuroscientist (my occupation) who was just experiencing some chest tightness due to work stress , into a bedridden totally dysfunctional psycho woman. Don't know if I ll ever recover. I d love to hear from anyone who has survived Zoloft side effects... Stay away from Zoloft and I would say any SSRI | F | 44 | 45 days 25 mg 1X day | 3/6/2021 | 2 | GAD | Weight gain - always hungry. Loss of focus and energy. | M | 45 | 6 months 50 MG 1X day | 2/19/2021 | 4 | depression | worked good sometimes sleep was not as sound | F | 45 | 270 days 20 1X day | 2/12/2021 | 4 | Depression, anxiety,panic attacks | I suffered bad night terrors for 6 months from my traumas, I had bad depression, anxiety ,very fatigue had to sleep a lot .... I used to break everything I own etc | Zoloft changed me into a better person and would recommend this medication if you suffer bad panic anxiety attacks | F | 25 | 1 years 75mg 1X day | 1/27/2021 | 5 | MDD/Anxiety | increased anxiety, dry mouth, shaking, blurred vision, stomach distress, heart palpitations | It took months until i found my therapeutic dose of Zoloft that finally worked for me! I used to screenshot and save all the positive reviews and i will read them thinking will i ever feel better! After I started zoloft, I thought i was going crazy, especially when i woke up In the morning. Tried to manage it and I would call the doctor of this is normal and he said yes, until the zoloft starts working! He suggested to take 0.5 mg Ativan when i was feeling really bad and anxious and it worked! There were good days and bad days during these months, the recovery was not linear. After a long time of dealing with low mood, and anxiety I wanted to come here and give some positive reviews for the people that are currently going though it! It will get better but please be patient with the medicine! I started with 25 mg, after 2 months went for 50mg then 75 mg and im staying at this dose for the next months! Im on month 6 now and feeling much better and calm! Also one thing is try not to pay attention over analyzing how you feel, and why you feel this way! It's all normal as your body/brain adjusts to the medicine! If you are not hungry or if you don't feel well, juat rest, eat when you feel hungry( for me it was best to eat in the evening). Try not to think about the next day! Learn to accept that this is only temporary and nothing will happen to you! It's just a matter on time until you feel yourself again and let the Zoloft | F | 29 | 5 months 75mg 1X day | 1/26/2021 | 5 | MDD, anxiety | None | Has worked extremely well over the last 13 years, was using Prozac, which caused hospitalization for SI. Not experiencing long term usage issues like Prozac, which became ineffective after 1 year of usage. | F | 55 | 13 years 200mg 2X day | 1/16/2021 | 1 | Anxiety | Nausea diarrhea hot flashes sweating shaking | Never taking this medicine again took 2 doses feel like cramp my body is getting hot than cold palms and feet sweating tremors when I'm walking had diarrhea can't eat from being nauseated | F | 31 | 2 days 50 1X day | 1/16/2021 | 5 | ptsd depression suicidal | Zoloft saved my life from moody depression. I was re-traumatized with severe ptsd and I have a mood-disorder from terrible hormones. No bad side effects. | I would recommend this drug. It took about a month to work but really helped. | F | 53 | 7 years 75 mg 1X day | 1/14/2021 | 2 | GAD | Constant weight gain - always hungry. Also fatigue and needed a lot of naps, caused me to snore excessively at night. | It helped some with my attitude but I do not want to put up with the side effects. | M | 51 | 4 months 10 mg 1X day | 1/3/2021 | 2 | Misdiagnosis | Sexual side effects | One day was enough for me | M | 34 | 1 days ? 1X day | 12/10/2020 | 2 | Major depression and anxiety | Dizziness, lack of appetite, nausea, night terrors, increased anxiety. | This medication was helpful with the depression and I was really trying to push through the side effects but a week ago after I took it, I got up to go the bathroom and ended up getting so dizzy I passed out and fell onto the side of my bathtub resulting in two fracture ribs. I am in horrible pain right now and can't work for about six weeks now. Please be careful with this medicine, I'm lucky I didn't have more of a serious injury. I'm giving up on antidepressants, I've been on just about all of them and end up having bad side effects. | F | 56 | 7 days . 25 1X day | 11/16/2020 | 3 | Anxiety/OCD | Extreme nausea to the extent that I find myself throwing up at some point most days. The first month taking it I also noticed I had some trouble sleeping, but this side effect did not last. | Despite constantly feeling nauseous after taking Zoloft, it has greatly improved my anxiety and ocd symptoms. It takes time for it to start working though, so if you can suffer through the first couple months it really does tend to have a positive impact on symptoms!! | F | 21 | 2 years 150 1X day | 11/8/2020 | 4 | Anxiety | Loss of sexual desire, difficult to orgasm | It has removed my Anxiety all together my life is so much improved. It is a bummer with my side effect. I would still recommend. | M | 43 | 4 months 50 mg 1X day | 10/30/2020 | 1 | Anxiety | Nausea, tinnitus, numb feet, GI upset, confusion, emotional blunting, blurred vision. | For me the worst drug I have taken. Some effectiveness, but the side effects were far worse then other SSRI’s/SNRI’s I’ve tried. | M | 76 | 50 1X day | 10/20/2020 | 5 | Generalized Anxiety PTSD | Increased anxiety the first week or so as well as blurred up close vision. Longer sexual stamina. Minor upset stomach if taken on empty stomach. | I am a retired veteran. This drug allowed me to live my life like I was never able to. I lived with generalized anxiety and social phobia for so long I accepted it as the norm. This medication was prescribed by my psych after CBT session of trying to find the root cause of my PTSD and worry. I am so grateful this medication has enabled me to live my live more peacefully. I recommend to seek help and find whatever method works for you to alleviate your suffering. These drugs can have a bad reputation because some people probably exaggerate their mental illness and get terrible results from taking the meds. For me, it's working with a positive effect. | M | 40 | 1 months 150 1X day | 10/12/2020 | 3 | Anxiety/ depression | Insomnia, panic attacks, difficulty breathing, sweating, shaking, headaches, tingling throughout my body, loss of appetite, increased anxiety, lowered RH. | I seem to be very sensitive to drugs and that's a shame because I did see potential in Zoloft, but out of fear of complications from taking the drug, I discontinued it after 3 days. It helped relax my body and lowered my resting heart rate dramatically. I would encourage those experiencing uncomfortable side effects to keep taking Zoloft for the cardiac benefits alone, so long as the side effects aren't serious. | F | 30 | 0 days 25 mg 1X day | 10/4/2020 | 1 | depression, schizophrenia, psychosis | Horrible thoughts, worsened anxiety, worsened depression, gave me homosexual thoughts, nightmares, irritability | Gave me thoughts of torture and death, couldn't sleep the two nights I took it and when I did finally fall asleep I had horrible nightmares just like all the other anti depression/anxiety/psychotic medication gives me its all the same. Gave me gay thoughts the second night I took it and I'm not gay but all of these psychiatric medications do this to me and try to change the way I think because they increase estrogen levels so much. I'm off all my meds now except for Ativan and feel much better now. | M | 28 | 2 days 25 1X day | 9/29/2020 | 4 | Depression, anxiety | Weight loss, sleeplessness, low energy, lack of motivation, apathy, dizziness (first week only). | It has helped me get back to work and experience pleasure again. | F | 40 | 4 months 50mgs 1X day | 9/20/2020 | 3 | Depression b | It helped with depression but anxiety goes way up | M | 70 | 40 days 150 mg 1X day | 9/1/2020 | 5 | Depression/Social anxiety | None | I'm so happy that a psychiatrist finally suggested Zoloft, another treatment than Lexapro, Celexa, Effexor and Seroquel. They all made me like a lethargic zombie without any motivation and causing weight gain. Finally, I have my life back, I don't suffer from depression and social anxiety anymore and I still feel my emotions. Also, it's weight neutral. I have ADHD also and it increase my cognitive functions. It potentiates my Adderall 40 mg and Wellbutrin XL 300 mg. My energy level is normal, but much higher than on other treatments. I still have insomnia and have to take zopiclone 7.5 mg + melatonine 3 mg at night. I still have anxiety but it's part of life and I see a psychologist for CBT therapy to manage my emotions. I think that erasing all the symptoms with pills is not the answer. I go to the gym also to boost the antidepressant and anti-anxiety effect. | M | 40 | 90 days 150 mg 1X day | 8/28/2020 |
