| 5 | Depression and | | 1/17/2005 | 5 | OCD | none | F | 45 | 10 years | 1/16/2005 | 3 | Panic & Axiety | Zoloft helped the panic and anxiety but I gained 10 pounds in the first year; another 10lbs in the second year and another 10lbs in the third year - I've gained 30lbs since I started the Rx 3 years ago and I never had a weight problem. This is very difficult to accept and now I feel I should stop taking the Rx but I'm scared to experience withdrawal symptoms - I feel trapped! It's depressing to be overweight. I spoke with my MD and she said that it's not common to gain weight but each year when I have my annual physical, I've gained weight - it doesn't matter if I eat healthy, I keep gaining. | F | 36 | 3 years | 1/16/2005 | 1 | depressed | tired , depressed , mood swings, no sexual appetite | F | 44 | 3 years | 1/13/2005 | 5 | social anxiety/anxiety attacks | sleepiness,jaw clenching,weird dreams,trouble falling asleep | So far zoloft has worked great for me. I use to have anxiety attacks all the time.I didn't work for six years because I couldn't be around people. Now I'm working and I've had only a few axiety attacks. I am alot more tired and the jaw clenching thing bothers me because it gives me a headache but it seems to be going away. Overall I think this drug is great. | F | 27 | 2 months | 1/12/2005 | 5 | | 1/12/2005 | 1 | depression/anxiety | anorexia, horrible withdrawel symptoms (pounding head, twisted stomach)no sex drive what so ever | M | 19 | 6 months | 1/10/2005 | 4 | depression/anxiety | WEIGHT GAIN!! tiredness,drymouth, loss of sex drive | It has helped me with my depression and anxiety but I am trying to get off it because of the weight gain. 30lbs in a year. I've never had problems with my weight until taking this. I run 5 days a week and can't lose a pound. ANYONE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? How long did it take to lose the weight after coming off?? Any suggestions? | F | 31 | 1 years | 1/9/2005 | 4 | Depression | apathy, loss of sex drive, increased appetite leading to slight weight gain | Zoloft works well for me, but due to the libido issues and weight gain, I've added Wellbutrin to the mix and I'm tapering off Zoloft. | F | 27 | 6 months | 1/9/2005 | 3 | | 1/6/2005 | 3 | depression | weight gain of 30 pounds | F | 42 | 1 years | 1/6/2005 | 5 | Anger Management | Decreased Sexual Function/Desire, Dehydration, Exhaustion. | I started on 50mg, then increased to 75mg. I noticed a difference in my emotional response almost immediately. It helps me curve my urges to lash out in a confrontation. It has helped greatly in my relationship, however with a decreased sex drive from a very low sex drive to begin with has made that end a bit difficult. I'm still taking it and awaiting to see if my therapist is going to increase me to 100mg. | M | 31 | 2 months | 1/2/2005 | 3 | generalized anxiety disorder | insomnia, tired a lot, loss of sex drive | I was very sceptical about starting zoloft however it has been great so far. I feel happier, more energetic and excited about things that I lost interest in. It certainly is not a cure to anxiety but it does take the edge off of anxious times. I have noticed a decreased interest in sex and trouble sleeping all night long even though I feel pretty tired. That really is the only down side. I would recommend zoloft to anyone that is truly struggiling with depression and anxiety. | F | 21 | 1 months | 1/2/2005 | 2 | depression and anxiety | biteing finger nails and picking legs | M | 11 | 2 years | 1/2/2005 | 5 | clinical depression, anxiety | Drowsiness | I've been off an on different antidepressants for years, and I plan to stay on Zoloft. It prevents the mood swings I used to have, without making me feel spacey. I feel normal and rational when I am taking it. I ran out of it for 4 days, and experienced lightheadedness and a crying spell until I took it again. I am taking 25 mg a day. | F | 24 | 2 months | 12/30/2004 | 2 | pain | weight gain rhinitus hypertonia appetite increase yawning asthenia myalgia bad vision jaw clenching | F | 49 | 7 years | 12/22/2004 | 2 | Anxiety and mild depression | NO libido! | I took it for 4 days. Yes, FOUR days only and I was unable to reach orgasm. I have NEVER had that problem my entire life. I stopped it after 4 days and decided that diet and exercise are going to be my goal now. Not medication. | F | 39 | 4 days | 12/20/2004 | 3 | depression | Tolerence. | F | 56 | 4 years | 12/19/2004 | 3 | migraine and anxiety | Tiredness, insomnia and wakefulness throughout the night, 12 pound weight gain, no motivation | Could feel a diffrence it made in my life socially. Less anxiety about social situations, more confidence, leveled out my moods and most importantly, decreased the severity of migraines. Now for the negative: I saw an expose on Primetime about this drug. I decided to get off of it after hearing about the severity of withdrawal symptoms and danger of long term use. I AM SICk. I've been off for nine days...dizziness, headaches, exhaustion...hate this awful feeling. Now that I'm off I can see how lethargic I was, didn't care about anything and decreased libido. I wish my internist had told me. I would never have taken it if I knew all that came with it. I also had hair loss, sad I missed 9 months of my life. | F | 34 | 9 days | 12/19/2004 | 4 | dysthemia / anxiety | Delayed orgasm, dry mouth at max dosage, some drowsiness | This drug was a miracle for me the first 5 years. It totally changed my life. Social situations that made me anxious no longer did. The world opened up for me. My mood was excellent. I started at 50mg and maxed out at 200 then dropped down to 150 to avoid dry mouth. In the last 5 years the drug has pooped out on me and I'm afraid to go through the withdrawal to get off it. | M | 46 | 11 years | 12/17/2004 |
