ZOLOFT  (SERTRALINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  Sertraline is used to treat depression, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), and a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (premenstrual dysphoric disorder). This medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level and may help restore your interest in daily living. It may decrease fear, anxiety, unwanted thoughts, and the number of panic attacks. It may also reduce the urge to perform repeated tasks (compulsions such as hand-washing, counting, and checking) that interfere with daily living. Sertraline is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain.   FDA Approval Date: 1991-12-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Anxiety and Depression Decreased appetite. Zoloft has changed my life. I take 50 mg a day. I noticed improvement within the first 2 days. Before taking this drug I sometimes experienced crying spells and anxiety at very inappropriate times, I had difficulty sleeping and I worried about everything. Since taking Zoloft I have had no more crying spells, my anxiety is gone, I sleep fine and I finally feel at peace. I am now able to reach out to my friends and be more social. These changes have helped my marriage relationship a great deal. I have had no sexual side effects at all. I am so very thankful for this drug. For the first time in 15 years I feel normal.

 4  Anxiety Disorder Just took my first 25mg. this morning, and now I am high as a kite! Not complaining, as the constant anxiety that I feel 24 hrs. a day is very far away right now. I am going no higher than 25mg. because I do not need all the sexual side effects. I am also taking 300mg. per day Wellbutrin XL, which has helped my depression. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well with Zoloft and will check back in in a week or two. M 34 1 days

 5  extreme anxiety and depression nausea, light headedness, dry mouth, bad taste in mouth. Anxiety in beginning just from the thought of taking med because I was already anxious. Had to conquer fear of meds first. Then it helped me a huge amount over the last 2 years. Please stick with it and keep taking the med for about 3-6 months. I never thought I could live a normal life again but I am. F 46 2 years
