| 5 | fibromylia | some dizziness, | creates unreasonable sense of ephoria at times when you normally shouldn't be that happy | F | 59 | 14 years | 7/14/2008 | 1 | anxiety, sleeplessness | Suicide. Akathisia, agitation and irritability. | Posting this for a buddy of mine that committed suicide due to Zoloft. While the drug may effectively work for a vast majority of people, it's very important to be aware of this "side effect". His widow has testified a number of times before the Senate in Washington after finding that Pfizer was aware of suicidal tendencies of a 'small population of patients' prior to marketing the drug, but obviously didn't highlight this contraindication. She has worked with a number of senators and congressman and has succeeded in Pfizer agreeing to implement reforms for Zoloft that will take effect over the next year. For more info, see http://www.woodymatters.com | M | 37 | 6 weeks | 7/14/2008 | 4 | severe panic attacks | dreams, increased appetite and sex drive | I take 100 mg of zoloft and .5 xanax 2x a day. I feel great. I started off at 12.5 mg of zoloft becuase I was scared of the side effects I read on this site. So glad I took it. It was rough at first but xanax got me through that and got me through increasing the dosage. One thing is for certain I am always hungry and horny..lol but no more panic attacks! | F | 33 | 8 months | 7/13/2008 | 1 | GAD, anxiety | severe anxiety, tight chest, sweating, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks | My body did not tolerate zoloft. Very bad experience with the drug. | M | 30 | 5 days | 7/10/2008 | 4 | Anxiety/PTSD/Depression | Sexual side effects - could not ejaculate after erection. Corrected with Cialis. | Not real sure it does alot for me. I've made more progress with my therapist. | M | 28 | 6 months | 7/9/2008 | 4 | Marriage Trauma/Multiple Sclerosis | Very sleepy the first week. Weightloss | I take 100mg/day and 10mg of Adderall/day. Husband cheated on me and after 2 years I still could not let it go. It anger and hurt ate away at me day after day. It was extremely traumatic. The Zoloft took all those horrible feelings away. I don't dwell on them any longer. The Zoloft and Adderall (I take for fatigue) has also caused me to steadily lose a lot of weight!!! | F | 36 | 2 months | 7/3/2008 | 5 | anxiety, mild depression | Had lots of trouble at first. Anxiety increased tenfold, had panic attcks, disconnected/spaced out feeling. But it all went away eventually and I started feeling great. | I love my zoloft. I am only on 50mg but my insomnia is gone, my anxiety is under control, and I get depressed less often. Initially had some sexual problems, but remedied that by taking it at night before bed (and after sexual activity) so that the level of the drug would be at its lowest point in the evenings. I may be seeing some very slight weight gain but I can't say for sure that it is the zoloft. | F | 27 | 4 months | 7/2/2008 | 3 | | 6/29/2008 | 1 | Anxiety & Depression | Vision Blurry! One eye only but its scary that a drug can do this! | I called the pfizer company, they deny that vision problems are a symptom or withdrawal symptom of zoloft! But yet i am finding people saying they had it happen to them all over the internet! Doesn't anyone ever report it? They are definitely lying about that though, I'm sure of that! Anything for money it seems! Don't take this drug, it's so not worth it! | F | 43 | 7 months | 6/29/2008 | 4 | anxiety | dizzy, drowsy, nervous | this is my second time taking zoloft. I don't remember the side effects being so biting before. | F | 50 | 7 days | 6/28/2008 | 5 | depression | None | I tried 4 other meds before Zoloft and had either no relief or bad side effects from all those pills. I noticed an almost immediate improvement with Zoloft and have had no side effects. It is so important to find out which antidepressant works best for YOU. | F | 2 years | 6/26/2008 | 5 | A bout of anxiety made me physically ill. | Only side effects are positive! | F | 40 | 1 years | 6/25/2008 | 1 | OCD | None | Had no effect at all. | M | 18 | 6 months | 6/22/2008 | 1 | Depression panic attacks | oh gawd. I was on Paxil for 12 years, but THOUGHT it was wearing off. Think menopause is a huge factor in this....i have only been on generic zoloft for about a week and a half...our doggie is very sick, and i was up with her all night last nite, didn't sleep. My stomach is a wreck............burning and diarrhea all nite.......had to pee every five minutes all night. I feel very speedy and my heart is racing. My stomach is on fire, and feels like i drank draino. I hate this so much sometimes i don't know how long i can go on. | Just dont know yet. Paxil seemed to calm me down so much. Yes i gained a ton of weight on it, but i haven't on the zoloft so far. | F | 51 | 10 days | 6/13/2008 | 5 | Panic attacks after 13 surgeries | The first week was difficult; I wouldn't recommend driving at that time. I wasn't sure I was stopping the car and felt very unsafe. Some nausea the first week, too. | This drug absolutely saved my life. I began having what I called "daymares" after having 13 surgeries in a year and a half. These panic attacks were unbelievably frightening. I called my surgeon to ask for something for depression and she blew me off and told me to "deal with it"; I never went back to see her. I found another dr. who prescribed 100mg Zoloft. The shocking thing for me is that Zoloft relieved 90 % of my fibromyalgia pain !!! This is a HUGE thing for someone like me. I decided to go off of Zoloft about 5 years ago and BAM ! .... back came the pain. I worship this drug; I'm not sure I would have made it without it. | F | 60 | 10 years | 6/9/2008 | 3 | Depression panic disorder | Just came off of 12 years on Paxil for panic attacks and depression. Paxil worked excellent for stoppingn panic attacks and depression, but after 12 years i THINK it was wearing off. I also gained 50 lbs in about 10 years. Dr. Prescribed 25 mgs. of generic Zoloft(Sertraline) I was so scared to take the full dose, so i cut the tiny pills in about an '8th'. This is the third day, last night, i awoke about 3:00am with extreme anxiety. I had to get up and walk around inside the house and outside too. I have diarrea. I have 'cotton mouth' this morning. I finally had to take half a generic xanax last nite. Helped a little but not much. Think i only took half a mg. calmed me for about ten minutes, but then the 'speedy' feeling came back. This morning, i am still having diarrea although, not extreme. I'm so scared to take my does this evening, but i have to take the chance. I | It is too early to tell. I am on GENERIC Zoloft. Don't know if there is a difference or not. I hope i don't have to go back on paxil (generic) but i just can't handle this anxiety and speedy feeling, which i realize can subside if i just hang in there. My daughter and best friend is on zoloft and they swear by it. | F | 51 | 3 days | 6/4/2008 | 5 | Anxiety, OCD, Depression | It took a few weeks for it to start working, and the only thing I noticed was that I still felt extremely depressed at first. Started with 50 mg 3 months ago and now I am up to 200mg with no side effects and it is working great! | I love it. It has helped me a great deal and since I started taking it I am feeling 100% better. I don't experience any side effects and my relationships have greatly improved since my level of anxiety has decreased. I strongly recommend Zoloft. | F | 28 | 3 months | 6/3/2008 | 4 | anxiety | fatique | It has helped my anxiety immensely. I want to go up a little bit on my dosage. Was originally prescribed Cymbalta, was in the ER on my third day because I thought I was dying. | F | 25 | 2 months | 5/29/2008 | 5 | Panic Attacks/Agorophobia/OCD | Just a mild tingling/tickley type of sensation in the back of my head/base of neck. Maybe increased thirst. All other side effects have been positive!! Like I started sleeping again! And eating!! And I started going out of the house again!! Woohoo!!! | Praise God for Zoloft!!! It saved my LIFE!!! Amen! In retrospect, I wish I had taken it sooner! :O) | F | 44 | 8 years | 5/28/2008 | 1 | depression/anxiety | Suicidality, auditory and visual hallucinations, vomiting, panic attacks, paranoia, restlessness, nightmares, etc. etc. etc... | Scariest experience of my life. Would not wish this upon my worst enemy. | F | 25 | 3 weeks | 5/22/2008 |
