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)

 1  Complex PTSD/Anxiety Loss of sex drive, suicidal, self-mutilating, black outs, vision problems, tremors, facial tics, explosive outbursts, mental numbness, fatigue, lack of appetite, headaches, headpains (the zaps), scattered thinking, extreme forgetfulness, chest pains/palpitations, short of breath. An extremely dangerous drug considering the company refuses to release all side effect information to the public out of fear that people won't buy it anymore. I felt better the first few months, and became addicted because my brain could no longer regulate its own serotonin levels. Successfully used acupuncture and herbalism to get off the z. F 34 2.5 years

 1  anxiety and depression Briefly descibe having diarrhea for at least ten days? Spend that much time in the bathroom and you will never want to try this drug. Also insomnia, and total loss of interest in sex. Yes after almost 20 years of marriage that is important. Leg pains, headaches, muscles spasms, blurred vision and a host of others. I hate this drug even though 100 mg once a day made me feel like a new person in terms of depression. I also feel the drug companies and average doctors are not dealing with the true problems and side effects these meds cause. Please feel free to contact me @ [email protected] with any thoughts you may have unless you are going to be an ass. F 38 40 days

 5  Clinical depression Yawning (wierd), occasional ecstacy-style rushes, lowered libido, ejaculatory problems (ie inability), dry mouth, fluid retention, weight gain. This has been great: a complete change in my life. I feel so much more in control. The side effects are pretty minor considering the profound change on my life. M 35 18 months

 5  anxiety and depression Initial nausea, increased anxiety, felt worse until they kicked in (around 3-4weeks). Then weight gain (3kg in 4 months), very vivid dreams that often seemed real, interrupted sleep, total loss of libido, very delayed orgasm, muscle twitches (minor). This drug made me feel safe and warm and energetic again. The colour returned to my world, I connected better with people, I took steps to ensure my future wellbeing, I felt content and was able to view my fears and negative thoughts froma distance. Worries didn't overwhelm me anymore. The world was a much better place. F 28 4 months

 3  Depression/Anxiety Loss of appetite, then increased appetite and inability to lose weight. It worked wonderfully on my anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and general depression. Unfortunately, after an initial loss of appetite, I began gaining weight and was unable to lose it despite trying a variety of diets, exercise etc. I gave it a 3 because maybe thin people could take it. F 38 9 months
