| 5 | Social anxiety and Depression | slight loss of appetite, some headaches | Saved my life. I mean take everyones reviews with a grain of salt because all medication works differently for different people however for me this medication helped me get through my darkest times and idk if i would be alive today without it. | F | 18 | 7 months 75mg 1X day | 5/13/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | This is POISON. 2 pills of 50mg has destroyed my life. It has completely destroyed my sex drive, libido, Ed, anorgasmia, yet the side effects were not even clear. It's been 5 weeks since I took just 2 pills and nothing has got better and having now researched the extent of this issue it seems PERMANENT. This is criminal! DO NOT TAKE THIS UNLESS YOU NEVER WANT SEX AGAIN. Google PSSD. This drug has destroyed my LIFE and if I don't see an improvement in a year I guess the only option is suicide. You c**ts! | If I could sue I would. This is POISON. | M | 39 | 2 days 50 | 5/11/2016 | 2 | Depression | I have never cut myself before I started taking Zoloft. A week after the commencement of my treatment I took a razor blade and cut my wrists. This medication has made me more suicidal than I used to be. It was the time of my exams at university, and unfortunately I was unable to think and concentrate on anything and therefore failed. | F | 21 | 4 weeks 50 mg 1X day | 5/7/2016 | 3 | Generalized Anxiety Disorder | Fatigue, loss of appetite, felt like a zombie | Helped my anxiety symptoms | F | 21 | 2 weeks 25 | 5/3/2016 | 5 | depression anxiety OCD tendencys | At first I had some mild effects but they seemed to taper off. No weight gain or sexual problems. Slight nausea sometimes if I take it on an empty stomach. | This drug is not for everyone, but it works well for me. My symptoms are decreased and I am able to function much more normally. I was a wreck before I started seeing a therapist. She recommended that I try the Zoloft after meeting with me for a few months. It helped a lot. Shortly after this, I was diagnosed with Crohns disease. So that was what may have triggered my symptoms. Anyway, through it all the Zoloft helped me manage the stress. I recommend seeing a mental health professional (not just family DR) before starting Zoloft though. Now I get it from my PCM but Im glad I saw a therapist while I was starting with it. | F | 39 | 7 years 100 1X day | 4/29/2016 | 5 | Anxiety | Zoloft has helped me feel normal for the first time. I didn't even realize how anxious I was all the time. The only side effect I have are some hot flashes. I can live with those. | I thank Heaven my Doctor recommended zoloft. Anxiety was a fact of life for me. Now I am functioning normally. | F | 59 | 8 weeks 50 mg | 4/23/2016 | 1 | Depression, anxiety | Extreme nausea, extreme headache, extreme fatigue, increased anxiety attacks, increased intrusive thoughts | I started off on one pill which was way to much. When I went down to half a pill it didn't help at all. On my first day I spent literally all day in bed nauseated (I was surprised I didn't vomit). The next day I spent all day in bed with a severe migraine. I am underweight so maybe if I were on a much smaller dosage then it would have been better but I had such awful side effects I was essentially bed ridden | F | 19 | 7 days | 3/28/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | Simply horrific side effects | First 7 days - Took half pill, 25mg as instructed. -Nausea -feeling weird -diarrhea(some days), -upset stomach and lack of appetite. -Almost constant dull headache. -Very thirsty all the time. felt generally bad and out of sorts. 7th--22nd day - Full Pill, 50mg -Dull headache at least for part of every day. -Nausea abated a bit some days, either no appetite or extremely hungry. -Anxiety increased by double or more, especially on waking in the mornings. -More panicky than usual. -Some days felt sick some days felt ok. No lifting of anxiety, -Impossible to fall asleep at night, felt "wired." at bedtime. -Sleep disturbed and not deep or relaxing, vivid dreams and nightmares nightly. -Some flu-like symptoms, shaky, hot then cold (day 20) -negative, obsessive thoughts for much of the day, on most days. (like before the pills) -Constantly thirsty, drinking all day, reduced caffeine to two cups of tea per day. -Increased paranoia -Inner tremors -Shaking hands and legs -Out of body experiences | M | 41 | 24 days 50mg 1X day | 3/21/2016 | 3 | anxiety | Lightheadness, excessive sweating To the point of weather dripping down the sides of my face.

Getting off of it is like going through hell! | cant believe doctors can live with themselves for prescribing this. My doc upped me to 150 mg. weaned myself off | F | 68 | 10 months 100mg | 2/18/2016 | 1 | Anxiety/OCD | horrendous night sweats (I had to wash my bedsheets every day), headaches, severe anxiety, feeling of dread. And whenever I increased my dose (+25mg) I had a constant headache/stomach ache for at least a week | This medicine did nothing for me unfortunately. It works wonders on my mum, so I gave it a shot but sadly it gave me more anxiety/depression like symptoms. I would wake up in a pile of sweat every single morning and woke up and went to bed with headaches. There were no positive side effects for me and getting off of it was really rough - withdrawal symptoms were the same as the side effects plus brain zaps. Not the drug for me! | F | 24 | 3 months 125 1X day | 2/18/2016 | 1 | Depression of stomach probably | Sexual dysfunction, no orgasm, very low libido, persistent brain fog. | I went to doctor for my acid reflux and as it turned out he prescribed this poison to me without even telling me what this shit is and what does it do to my body.i have stopped taking sertraline for 4 days now and the side effects haven't worn off yet. | M | 25 | 4 days 25 | 2/15/2016 | 4 | PtSd/G. Anxiety | Started off with 25 made it all the way up to 100 which was no good . So came back down and love the dose . I def. Know if I missed it . | F | 33 | 2 years | 2/13/2016 | 4 | Anxiety | Increased appetite and random food cravings, weight gain, mild fatigue, feeling hyper | F | 19 | 4 years 50mg | 2/4/2016 | 1 | Ptsd | Began to feel withdrawal without missing a dose. Doctors upped several times. I gained a lot of weight -about 50 pounds!! I went off it when I began to have memory lapses. Once I found myself on the toilet wondering who I was, where I was, what day it was, time of day, etc. TERRIFYING!!! so I (obviously) stopped taking it. It was a BRUTAL 6 months of withdrawals. Months of torturous vertigo and what I can only describe as brain buzzing. It felt like when you are falling asleep and jerk awake. I had 5+ a minute for months. Awful!!!! | I only found it helpful for my nightmares. | F | 34 | 10 months | 2/3/2016 | 4 | Postpartum psychosis,pmdd,anxiety | (Reason for taking pt.2 Depression, ocd, panic) numbness feeling in eyes tongue and throat, nausea, loose stools, headache,fast talking, very energetic. | The first dose I noticed my racing thoughts were silenced it hasn't even been a week yet and I am feeling like myself again. | F | 22 | 3 days 50mg | 1/23/2016 | 5 | anxiety | cloudy headed for the first few days, but went away entirely | I wanted to share my experience with Zoloft, because it changed my life. During my undergraduate education I suffered with crippling anxiety attacks, which almost led me to quit school. My doctor put me on Zoloft (this was back in 2003) 25mg, and gradually raised the dose to 100mg over the course of a few months. It was almost like a light switch turned on in my brain. I just didn't get anxiety attacks anymore. I am so very thankful for this drug, because without it I don't think I would've been able to continue my education (which ultimately led me to become a doctor). I have now finally weaned myself off of Zoloft (100mg, down to 50mg for 1 year, 25mg for 6 months, then 25mg every other day for 2 months, then off completely). If you are struggling with anxiety, perhaps my story will help change your life too. There are so many negative reviews online, so I thought I'd share a success story. For me Zoloft was a lifesaver. | M | 37 | 12 years 100mg 1X day | 12/29/2015 |
