| 2 | Depression and Anxiety | Extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, shakiness, insomnia | I think it helps some people but I seem to be sensitive to this sort of medication. I'm now an extremely light sleeper and sleeping medications just make me feel worse. I can't seem to get up off of the couch. I'm not sleeping but I'm just to weak to do anything. | F | 41 | 14 days | 5/18/2005 | 1 | bi-polar disorder | Went into toxic situation when drug began to work opposite of intended usage. | Post-Polio nerve damage may have effected the horrendous situation I found myself in. Hospitalized during withdrawal when it caused a full-blown manic attack. | F | 64 | 5 years | 5/16/2005 | 5 | Depression,anxiety, panic disorder | Upset stomach, weight gain, nigthmares (all withing first couple weeks of starting then wentt away) | LOVE IT... I was afraid of being home alone before, or going out in public, I can fly, go to baseball games, go to work and be home alone!!!!! | F | 28 | 2 years | 5/15/2005 | 5 | Ehm? | groggy, nausia, irritation, mood swings.... so what are the negative effects? | M | | 5/14/2005 | 3 | anxiety/depression | out of the 50 side effects i think i've already experienced 49 of them, always naucious, living in the bathroom, almost forgot what it's like to have a normal BM. night sweats are horrid, and weight loss, after 3 weeks on Zoloft already down 10lbs. | only hope that the side effects lessen, haven't noticed any chance in my anxiety, i worry way to much about what this pill is doing to my body. | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 5/14/2005 | 5 | Depression | none, but possible sexual side effects | F | 28 | 3 years | 5/8/2005 | 3 | anxiety | Fuzzy thinking, memory loss | F | 56 | 1 years | 5/8/2005 | 5 | Depression - Anxiety | Dry mouth | I stongly recommend this medicine if you experience anxiety or depression. Its help me change my life for the better. I was so scared to take any kind of pill to treat it, thought it would go away. Its been almost a month and Im feeling so much better, the shaking, not being able to breath has almost went away. Its made more calm in stressful situation and I have a high stress job as well plus I have personal issues that I have to deal with that has made me depressed for so many years. Im so much happier and content with myself. I hope if you need help you realized before its to late, I thought I could never be happy again. | F | 33 | 1 months | 5/7/2005 | 5 | OCD, Anxiety Disorder | Sex drive greatly diminished, emotional apathy, decreased appetite, hot flashes, fist-clenching. | Zoloft helped my anxiety disorders a LOT, and I can now do things I couldn't do before. However, the side effects can get a little out of hand. My libido left immediately, but it seems like it's slowly back on the rise. Also, even though the drug seems to make my happy times happier, I can't quite connect emotionally to those around me in the same way. I've been told my characer is different. What's scary is that you don't realize it. Zoloft has made me hurt my most beloved without me even knowing. | M | 20 | 3 weeks | 5/5/2005 | 2 | manic depression | anger shortness of breath lethargy always hungry | it helped me not feel anything, but it interferred with everyday activities to the point where I wasn't getting anything dong | F | 24 | 2 weeks | 5/4/2005 | 5 | Depression | Some ringing in the ears, diarreha (not terrible), harder to achieve orgasm, few headaches the first week. Some insomnia, and sleepy more during the day. | Had been on Serzone in the past - this is better for the depression, but not for the sex thing - fair trade-off however. Had also tried Paxil, Celexa, Prozac, & Topomax in the past - hated all of them. Got immediate relief from this candy - the brain fuzziness lifted immediately - I mean the second day I was on it. Maybe the other symptons will subside over time - we'll see. On 50mg a day - not severe depression, but felt myself sliding into it. I had been off SSRI's for about two years, and have been feeling like I'm wearing a mask. | M | 53 | 21 days | 5/3/2005 | 5 | PMDD, depression | Tiredness. | Taking it before bed helps if you have a problem with Zoloft making you tired all the time. | F | 30 | 20 days | 5/3/2005 | 3 | Depression/OCD/anxiety/panic | Zoloft destroys sex drive | Does make a noticable difference in controlling OCD | F | 32 | 1.5 years | 5/3/2005 | 4 | pms | Laughed a lot more and had a sense of well-being. Almost too relaxed and easy-going. Has helped me tremendously - only take the week before period, only take 1/2 of a 25 mg pill. | F | 45 | 2 years | 5/1/2005 | 5 | clinical depression | initial jaw clenching, teeth grinding, sexual side affects (not severe on lower doses) | this medicine helped me to be able to let go of a lot of frivolous and debilitating worry while allowing me to recognize things that needed my attention. | F | 35 | 10 years | 4/27/2005 | 4 | generalized anxiety | extreme tiredness, less aware/observant/alert, no problems sleeping (cured my insomnia), decrease in sex drive and loss of apetite. Innitially upset stomach, but that went away within a week. I felt better the first day i took the pill, and that was only at 1/2 of .25 (started at that low level because of my sensitive stomach.. it was increased to .25 after a week. | IT WORKS! the side effects are definatly worth how much it has helped me. I'm much more relaxed and happy. good stuff. | F | 22 | 3 weeks | 4/26/2005 | 5 | PMDD/Depression | Nervousness | I've suffered from depression for most of my life. Zoloft has been the most effective antidepressive for me. Unlike others I've been on(Wellbutrin, Prozac), I've never had the dosage increased. I'm not weepy as I used to be and have a general happy outlook on life. I highly recommend it. If my doctor allows it, I would like to be on it indefinitely. I never want to feel so down as I used to before. | F | 36 | 2 years | 4/23/2005 | 5 | OCD, Anxiety disorder, PTSD | My life completely changed with this drug. I spent over 20 years hyperventilating and living a very difficult life. I got over the crippling fears I had, and TOGETHER WITH THERAPY, zoloft allowed me to regain my life. I was on a low dose (12.5 mg) and I came off it by tapering for 3 weeks (cutting the pills up into quarters and decreasing the amount each week) with one tiny episode of vertigo and that's it. | F | 38 | | 4/22/2005 | 1 | depression | Do not want to eat, feeling like i should end it all. | F | 50 | 8 days | 4/22/2005 | 5 | Anxiety, Depression, and OCD | Excessive Yawning, Drowsiness I feel like a zombie, Detached Reality feeling (common with anxiety), Neck and Shoulder muscle tightness (common with anxiety), A | I have only been taking Zoloft for 5 days (25mg then after 7days 50mg) the first day it seemed to help then my side effects kicked in though they could be part of my OCD. I was worried I had brain cancer just because of the eye problems, yawning, and headaches that I have had (a few morning headaches and ongoing eye problems before I went on the meds) though the eye problems may be the de attached or un real feeling associated with anxiety. I hope this drug works for me I have taken alot of things in the past and some helped but.... Good Luck Everyone | M | 25 | 4 days | 4/20/2005 |
