| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZOLOFT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | depression, ptsd, anxiety | Upset stomach, insomnia, difficulty having an orgasm, weight loss | For me I think the pros outweigh the cons. Upset stomach at worse is diarrhea which is not often. The rest of the time its just gas. I am also taking ambien for sleep so insomnia is manageable. Sexual side effects are really sporadic. Days where I am not able to achieve orgasm end up being fun. My wife enjoys me f**king her like a gorilla. It was worse when I first started taking the medication. I think my weight loss stemmed from the diagnosis but my weight has tapered off. All the side effects were worse at the beginning, but now I am a lot more stable in my daily life. | M | 33 | 3 months 200mg | 9/24/2016 | 5 | Depression PTSD | The feelings of anxiousness and depression has been lifted two days now. Thank God. I can focus. I have not had any side effects that others post about. Grateful veteran. | M | 62 | 2 days 20 | 9/20/2016 | 5 | Drepression | Made me a little sleepy at first. Had no stomach problems. | I've been taking it for a long time, and without it, I would be downright suicidal. | F | 58 | 10 years | 9/2/2016 | 5 | Anxiety, MOOD SWINGS , GAD DEPRESSI | BIT OF HEADAE NAUSEA FEW DREAMS FIRST MONTH OR SO SUICIDAL FEELING WHICH SUBSIDED QUICKLY AFTER COUPLE OF WEEKS | FANTASTIC MEDICINE TRIED THEM ALL BUT HANDS DOWN ZOLOFT SERTRALINE WAS THE BEST FOR HEALTH CONDITIONS I FACED. REMEMBER PEOPLE WHO ARE HAPPY TAKING SSRIS LIOE SERTRALINE USUALLY WONT COME HERE AND ONLY THANKLESS BUSYBODIES WILL. SO KEEP TAKING AS INSTRUCTED AND GIVE IT @ LEAST 4-6 WEEKS TO NOTICE SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT | F | 25 | 10 years 50-100MG | 8/8/2016 | 5 | Major Depression and anxiety | Within a year I gained 50 lbs. Difficult if not impossible to orgasm. | Despite the weight gain and sexual side effects this medicine worked well. Before taking this I had no chill and was constantly pissed. I have lowered to 50 mg and can cope with my depression, irritability, and anxiety much much better. | F | 33 | 1 years 200 mg | 8/6/2016 | 5 | Anxiety paranoia ocd | Anxiety first few weeks fatigue | Overall pretty good | M | 24 | 1 years 50MG | 7/24/2016 | 4 | Depression and anxiety | Decreased appetite and anxiety the first week. Withdrawal symptoms including brain zaps, slight headache, decreased apetite, dizziness, nausea, and anxiety. | Took it for a year and 4 months. Not sure if it was the drug itself or because my life situation changed but my depression and anxiety gradually became less. I could still feel down sometimes and have anxiety attacks but they would never be as frequent or as bad as before taking the medicine. Stopped taking it when I felt no need for it anymore (with an OK from my doctor). Stepped down to 25mg for two weeks before stopping completely. Withdrawal symptoms appeared 3 days after my last pill and lasted for a week. It's been 1,5 months since and I feel fine. | F | 20 | 1 years 50mg | 7/14/2016 | 3 | for anxiety | Tired and twitches | Is this a good med to take at bed time | F | 37 | 4 days 50 mg | 7/14/2016 | 1 | Anxiety, self esteem,depression | Vomiting. Feeling zombish. Runny nosee. Stuffy nose. Flu like symproms. .. lots of diarrhea. I lost 13 pounds and lost appetite. Can't keep water down without vomitting | Don't take it | F | 21 | 9 days 25mg | 7/9/2016 | 1 | Depression | Waking up with panic attacks, no appetite, foggy headed,insomnia, much more anxiety than before | I stopped cold turkey after 5 weeks and the day after i stopped did not wake up with my heart racing. | F | 38 | 5 weeks | 7/8/2016 | 3 | husband was | was mellow but a little bit not there -- a little zombi-ish extremely calm and more indifferent about things | M | 56 | 3 years 1X day | 6/28/2016 | 1 | ocd | Nausea acid zombie state dizziness | Awful med | F | 56 | 5 days 150mg | 6/22/2016 | 1 | Depression | Was catatonic with it. Like when really drunk and just can't move but not a nice feeling. Felt really awful with it and only kept it up as Dr said to try for month. Worse drug ever. Luckily not working and strange thoughts on it too. | F | 60 | 1 months 30mg 1X day | 6/19/2016 | 5 | depression | what I still experience: jitters and restlessness (especially in legs), extreme fatigue, decreased sex drive, mamoplasia side effects that went away: vivid and strange dreams | works for other members of my family, and it has done miracles for me. although I do still deal with many of the side effects, they are livable. What's not livable was the level of depression I was at before I began taking zoloft. | F | 21 | 1.5 years 150 1X day | 6/12/2016 | 1 | Depression | Stomach cramps, diarrohea, illiteracy, inumeracy. | Could not think, act, add up, tell the time, operate at all. Stopped driving as could not make decisions. Should not be used unless you actively want to become a moron. | M | 50 | 3 months 100 mg 1X day | 6/4/2016 | 3 | Depression | Periods of time when I was starving literally all day despite having eaten a normal amount. Really bad insomnia for the first 6 months - has gotten better but now I sleep way too much and am always tired. Used to get pretty bad anxiety for the first 3 or so months but now that is very rare. The hunger has probably been the most unmanageable of the side effects for me. | Can't say it didn't work. I definitely started feeling less gloomy around 2 weeks after I started taking the med. I was initially on 25MG but got moved up to 50. About a year in I've found that the medication has an immediate effect on me right after I take it, and the effect of each pill seems to last almost exactly 24 hours. Whenever I've forgotten to take a pill for a day or two I can clearly tell that I feel way more hopeless and depressed. About 2 hours after taking a pill I'll usually be just fine again. Kind of worried that I may be too dependent on it. | F | 18 | 1 years 50 MG | 5/23/2016 | 1 | Ptsd/anxiety | Extreme fatigue, increased anger, loss of emotion, loss of appetite. | I started this drug per the guidance of my phycotherapist. Started of at 25mg felt slow for the first week but body adjusted to the drug afterwards. A month in my symptoms increased anger would hit me out of nowhere. My dr increased meds up to 50mg and my symptoms have remained the same. I have not gotten any better if anything i feel worse. | M | 36 | 1 months 50mg | 5/23/2016 | 1 | Depression | It ruined my life, as it has made me oligospermia. | I request those who are in the reproductive age group not to take this drug, even if prescribed by a psychiatrist | M | 30 | 8 years 50-100mg | 5/19/2016 | 3 | Postpartum depression | Extreme fatigue | My usual antidepressant is Prozac but I was given Zoloft for my postpartum depression because Prozac was not safe to take while breastfeeding. Zoloft definitely improved my mood but made me sleep constantly which was not conducive to my taking care of a newborn. I tried to stick it out hoping my body would adjust to the Zoloft but after about three months I realized I would not be able to continue to care for my baby with such a low level of energy, no matter how much sleep I got I struggled to stay awake, so I stopped taking it, and almost immediately my energy came back. I had to switch my baby to formula but it was worth it to have enough energy to function. Zoloft did help my mood though so it wasn't all bad. The negatives outweighed the positives for me personally. | F | 22 | 3 months 50 mg | 5/17/2016 | 5 | ocd, manic severe depression | Very very alert, hyped up, energetic, low appetite,lost waight mabie 20 lbs after 2 months of use and haven't lost any more sence. have trouble sleeping, once I do fall a sleep, it's a hard sleep* for 5 hrs and then im up. wide eyed and bushy tailed like someone injected me withan extra shot of expresso. Sex levels come and go some days I want nothing to do with hugs or to much physical attention, other times I feel like I can't get enough (scratch u can't itch) need to be sure ur birth control works with this pill becouse it'll cause you to become more fertal (DR's have use this on my father's girlfriend to help her consive a child after yrs of trying and 6 miscarriages* her first birth was with twins) but do NOT take while pregnant my daughter had a second thumb on her left hand (I stop Zoloft at 4 mos with her) luckly there was no bone, so easily removed/ stopped Zoloft for pregnancys ever sence. I just make sure I wake up a specific time eat oatmeal or something quick before taking Zoloft,(or get nauseous and sick*after I threw up once I was good to go like 100% ready to go to work*Construction worker*) take it same time everyday and life's "antidepressed" For warning my cuzin takes same amount but totally opisit affects. It works for her as well, she's been taking it for a good few years now but gained waight, and it makes her sleepy so she takes it at night.(anxiety/depression) My boyfriend tho said it made him emotionless like a numb zombie. I | Not for everyone better to start at 25 for 7 days and only go up 25mgs at a time a jump from 50-100 is sometimes a lil to much. Very strong pill. U don't want to take a large amount of this. | F | 24 | 5 years 150mg | 5/15/2016 |
