| 5 | depresia | M | 27 | 2 years | 6/28/2005 | 4 | COMING OUT OF A DEPRESSION | DRY MOUTH | F | 43 | 24 days | 6/25/2005 | 5 | Anixety & Panic Attacks | Little Nausua, dry mouth, trouble sleeping at night | F | 35 | 7 days | 6/20/2005 | 4 | extreme stress | It helped calm me during an extremely stressful time of assuming a caregiving role. I felt | F | 63 | 1 years | 6/20/2005 | 5 | Anxiety/Depression | Indigestion, heartburn, tics (only first few days) sleepy during the day, longer to reach orgasm | Wow! Noticed a big change after the 6th dose. I'm calm, happy, things that would have sent me through the roof, I react to but now calmly. I don't get scared, fearful or fly off the handle. I'm taking 12.5 mg. Don't see a need to take a higher dose. I'm still me, laughing and have my same sex drive although it takes longer to reach an orgasm. Went to the AMEN Clinic in Newport Beach, California and had a brain scan. I thought I was ADD. Turned out to be anxiety and depression. I see how this pill can make everything better, but I'm also in counseling and doing a lot of talk therapy with myself. I highly recommend this medication. | F | 44 | 8 days | 6/11/2005 | 2 | bipolar II | continuous tremors- slight, but often visible and uncomfortable. | F | 22 | 1 months | 6/9/2005 | 3 | depression | problems sleeping | M | 38 | 18 days | 6/7/2005 | 5 | Severe depression | insomnia for the first few weeks, slight loss of sex drive, reduced appetite, mild weight loss, jaw clenching | Saved my life - it's amazing to go through life without the feeling of dread and hopelessness. Combined with therapy it helped me live my life again, not just get through it! | F | 35 | 6 years | 6/5/2005 | 5 | depression/anxiety | Briefly, euphoria, dry mouth, upset stomach and deep, deep sleep so not too terribly bad side effects. | I have tried different medications(prozac, xanax, etc.) for my depression and panic attacks and so far Zoloft has been the best. I no longer have panic attacks and feel far less depressed, without feeling drugged. | F | 34 | 5 years | 6/5/2005 | 4 | depression | major weight gain that led to high systolic blood pressure. Headaches for a couple of days of withdrawal. | Zoloft worked quickly and effectively at first, but eventually the weight gain it caused led to more depression (not to mention other health problems!) | F | 28 | 6 months | 6/3/2005 | 1 | anxiety | big time dry mouth, tremblies, insomnia, after 4 days a total activation of intense and unbearable anxiety | Had to quit after 14 days. Feeling much better. Lesson: If one is treating anxiety reasonably well already, then watch out for quickly jumping to an ssri. | M | 56 | 14 days | 6/3/2005 | 5 | PTSD | Loose stools. | Used 2 other RX before Zoloft -- ended my random crying spells and panic attacks in about 2 weeks. | F | 50 | 1 years | 6/2/2005 | 1 | anxiety | fatigue, weight gain, can't drink alcohol, night sweats in week before period, very difficult to stop taking. | I switched to Zoloft because Paxil made me too tired. Zoloft is a bit better. It's extremely difficult to quit, I had dizziness, crazy moods (depression,anxiety and rage very bad) . I don't think the drug is even effective anymore, but I can't quit it. | F | 30 | 8 years | 6/1/2005 | 5 | major depression with anxiety | extreme anxiety first 2 weeks. some sleepiness. little stomach upset. | it took about 8 weeks for the full effects, and it was a life saver for me. this drug worked so well along with therapy. i can only hoope it works as well for others as it did for me. unfortunatly, it lost its effect after 9 yrs, and i am searching for something else that will be as effective. if anyone has exp. this please feel free to write me | F | 35 | 9 days | 5/30/2005 | 5 | major depression and anxiety | extreme anxiety , only for 2 weeks | excellent drug . it worked wonderful for me. after 9 yrs it pooped out so i am in major depression again trying to find something as effective. any comments would be greatful | F | 35 | 9 years | 5/30/2005 | 5 | anxiety, anger, depression | Chewing the tip of my tongue. Constant music in my head that is repetitive. I cannot make it go away unless I have music on so that it distracts me. | But still, I would not go off it. It has made my relationships with everyone better. | F | 67 | 4 years | 5/30/2005 | 1 | panic with agraphobia anxiety ocd | shakyness more nervous more angry cannot control feelings when upset derealised unreal high on something unable to concentrate i don't feel ike myself i'am scared to leave my house things got worse ..... | i was taking clonazepam for a week which made me feel great the doctor told me it's addictive so he put me on zoloft for the first four days i took 25mg in the morning and 25mg at night than he told me to take 25mg in the morning and 50mg at night i have been on it for over two weeks and it seems like i'am getting worse or at least feeling worse the doctor said i will feel better but i guess i'm gonna have to see..... | F | 23 | 18 days | 5/26/2005 | 4 | Anxiety | Weight gain was the only thing I expieranced while actually on zoloft. | It's when you try to WEAN that you feel like your world is falling apart. I've had an almost dizzy, siezure like feeling, and extreme tiredness. You have to wean VERY slowly off this medicine. They say it isn't addictive, but I don't agree with that at all. I would rather suffer through anxiety attacks then take this med again. It does work great as long as you don't try to stop taking it. | F | 23 | 2 years | 5/25/2005 | 3 | major depression | rapid heart beat, around 105 beats a minute while resting. | F | 22 | 3 months | 5/21/2005 | 5 | Anger Problems (anxiety?) | (100mg daily)
The first few weeks (while dosage was increased):
upset stomach, sleeplessness, tiredness, nausea.
Continual effects: | Before taking Zoloft, I was an angry person with a VERY short temper. I was probably a prime example of road rage. And every job review I ever had said, | M | 40 | 5 years | 5/18/2005 |
