| 4 | M | 30 | 4 years | 7/15/2004 | 3 | OCD, Depression, Bipolar, Anxiety | SEXUAL SIDE EFFECTS are terrible. Dizziness, weight gain, extreme fatigue, mood swings. | I was started on 50 mgs, then was increased to 100 mgs. At first, Zoloft was an answer to my prayers. I am now trying to stop taking he drug because of the side effects,especially sexual, but the withdrawal is horrific. | F | 23 | 7 months | 7/8/2004 | 5 | OCD | The only side effects I experienced were a little bit of weight gain and tiredness. | Zoloft has helped me very quickly with obsessive compulsive disorder and I've been feeling great ever since I started taking it. | F | 24 | 7 months | 7/7/2004 | 1 | anxiety | violent suicidal ideas | total poison. suicidal ideation stopped when I stopped taking the drug. | F | 41 | 5 days | 7/7/2004 | 5 | stress | drowsiness | I take 50mg a day at bedtime. My work has inproved & I slept better. | M | 37 | 2 months | 7/6/2004 | 5 | Depression, postpardum, anxiety | always loose 5lbs. dry mouth, hard to fall asleep | Been on & off for 8yrs. Seem to always go back to Zoloft. It chills me out. Not addicting for me. I always think I don't need it anymore & then my symptoms come back. I am now on the highest dosage I have ever been on 200mg. plus on Seroquel 50mg. for manic. Its been only two wks so far. | F | 35 | 3 times | 7/6/2004 | 4 | Depression | Very tired the first few weeks. Eventually I felt great but over the year I gained 60 pounds. I went off of it. I stopped gaining but depression came back. Not to mention the the head zaps were bad for a month or so. | Great drug if you are not gaining the weight. | F | 33 | 1 years | 7/6/2004 | 3 | F | 36 | | 7/6/2004 | 2 | depression | F | 33 | 1 years | 7/4/2004 | 1 | depression | felt wired all the time, had halicinations, irritable, shakey and thought about suicide all the time | F | 51 | 2 months | 7/3/2004 | 2 | GAD/panic attacks | I took ONE 50mg tablet...it made me feel like I was on some sort of stimulant..had a jittery feeling...like I needed to keep my jaws clenched...all this after one pill. I am scared to take it anymore!!!! | F | 29 | 1 days | 6/25/2004 | 3 | Bipolar/Severe depression and GAD | Very frequent yawning, insomnia, dry mouth, confussion, aggressiveness, eye movement is slower | It helps my depression some, but I am confused most of the time...It's like I have no emotions. I was better off smoking weed...sence weed is a stimulant and a depressent, it works as a stablizer for my bipolar mood swings. I was happy. VERY HAPPY. | F | 16 | 2 years | 6/24/2004 | 3 | depression | loss of sexual ability | hard to tell how it works so far | F | 17 | 15 days | 6/19/2004 | 1 | depression and anxiety | gets rid of depression, massive weight gain, severely tired, numbness in hands and limbs, headaches, massive appetite, non-existent sex drive, HORRIBLE WITHDRAWEL, VERY PRICEY! | My attitude is great, however, I am always tired, my motivation is very low, at first I had a weird numbness in my hands and arms, like they were asleep. I have tried to get off this drug, and the withdrawel is horrible - dizziness, tingling sensation in head and arms, nausia, headaches. Once you start taking this, it is almost impossible to stop. My sex drive is non-existent, I could care less... It is very hard to reach orgasm and I was a multiple before... I do not recomend this to anyone. In the year of use, I have gained a very painful 50 pounds and fear that until I get off I will not lose it because the drug has been proven to make you crave carbs. Try Anthony Robbins programs, they are extremely effective and no physical side effects. I am quitting cold turkey this time to see if I can just endure the withdrawel because the weening off process does not work. This drug is a crutch and you will increase the dose at times of stess. I hope this helps someone. I wish I would have known...... | F | 28 | 1.5 years | 6/10/2004 | 4 | Post tramatic stress | F | 30 | 1.3 years | 6/4/2004 | 1 | Anxiety | Insomnia | M | 27 | 1 months | 6/2/2004 | 5 | anxiety, panic attacks, depression | Initially, the side effects dry mouth, weight gain, and sexual dysfunction were present. After a few months, all that went away. | Zoloft does a great job of keeping anxiety, panic, and depression at bay. I'm not saying I feel euphoric, but lets just say, I've tried to cut down the dose on my own and I can definetely tell the difference. I take 100mg a day. | F | 28 | 4 years | 5/25/2004 | 2 | post traumatic stress disorder | involentary muscle movenent in hands and feet, extremely agitated and bit peoples heads off felt like i was trying to jump out of my skin still suffering movement 2 days after stopping and suffered inability to get out of bed this morning | Did help with the nightmares but not worth the trouble | F | 25 | 7 days | 5/16/2004 | 5 | Post Traumatic Stress Disorder | Weight gain and nausea | F | 33 | 7 months | 5/13/2004 | 1 | IBS-Constipation, mild depression | Only took one dose of 50 mg. Nausea lasted 14 hours which was tolerable but had severe anxiety, nervousness, tingling in feet, hands, face, increased sweating, dry mouth. Most of these are to be expected, but I also had panic attacks in the midddle of the night and extreme nightsweats (would wake up from sweat pouring out of my body), 3 nights in a row then slowly getting better - all this from just one dose. Also numbed my brain - had memory and concentration problems. Doctor took me off immediately and suggested Effexor but I will stop right here. I am still recovering from Zoloft after 4 days. I must say that the side effects did help with my IBS - I went to the bathroom 5 times the first day and had no bloat or pain. | Supposedly the most prescribed antidepressant, and I know it works wonders for a lot of people, so worth a try. I am no longer sure if it's the right way to treat IBS though because it adds brain numbness to gut paralysis. | F | 41 | 1 days | 5/11/2004 |
