| 5 | depression and anxiety. | None | F | 55 | 4 years | 5/10/2004 | 4 | anxiety, ADHD, etc. | None - it works just fine. I am very calm and relaxed and do not have the weight gain or sleepiness when I took paxil. | M | 58 | 2 months | 5/9/2004 | 4 | | 5/7/2004 | 4 | Severe depression/relapsw | tingling in upper extremities, fatigue, decrease in depressive symptoms (after 6 weeks of Rx. therapy). Second coarse of relapse for me, did not wean off the first time, as I was feeling so back to normal. Relapse occured after 6 months of being off meds. Worse side effect after 'regaining life' is the loss of libido, severe, zip, none. Which is kind of a bummer. | Would highly recommend for depression. Especially I was on Paxil and had gained 60 lbs. Just curious, anyone out there who has lost weight after gaining weight following Anit-deppresive therapy. Would appreciate input. Thx. | F | 41 | 2 years | 5/7/2004 | 1 | depression | Buzzsaw high followed by near-paralytic low | My doc gave me samples. I took ONE tab one morning, turned into a whirlwind at work...at 11 at night I was still going strong, packing my briefcase to take work home to finish until someone on the night shift stopped me. I'd already worked 14 hours! Then the next morning, I was so totally exhausted, I literally could not lift my arm off the bed to dial work and tell them I couldn't get there. The experience ranks among the worst in my life. Took about 48 hours to feel like something other than a total zombie. | F | 55 | 1 days | 5/5/2004 | 1 | | 5/5/2004 | 3 | Depression/Anxiety | Vivid dreams, night sweats, extreme lethargy, decreased interest in sex, feeling emotionless, nausea. | I felt an almost instant change with this drug, but ended up spending a lot of time in bed feeling tired and indifferent instead of going to class. I guess that's always better than feeling suicidal, right? No sex=no good, though. . .And you'll probably scare your partner away anyway after they realize that you've soaked yourself, your pj's, and the sheets through with night sweats. After you threw up 30 minutes after taking your pill. Wellbutrin worked MUCH better! | F | 25 | 8 months | 5/4/2004 | 4 | postpartum/anxiety/ADD | NO SEX DRIVE! Very tired! I take 150. My doctor prescribed Wellbutrin XL 150, 3 weeks ago. So now I'm on both. | Now I'm on both. They work well together! I take Zoloft at night just before bed and Wellbutrin XL in the morning. I felt ok with just Zoloft, but mixing it with Wellbutrin, really made a difference! Wellbutrin has anxiety side effects where as Zoloft treats anxiety, but Zoloft makes you tired and have no sex drive where as Wellbutrin XL gives you energy, and my sex drive has returned in full force! | F | 31 | 9 weeks | 5/3/2004 | 1 | fibromyalgia | angry and psychotic | This drug was scary. After about 3 weeks on it I suddenly started flipping out at random...shouting at the slightest provocation. I stopped because I was afraid I might physically harm someone. | F | 33 | 3 weeks | 5/2/2004 | 4 | post partum depression | tiredness, just out of it a lot | F | 33 | 7 months | 4/28/2004 | 1 | depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia | After being on this medication for 5 days I had a full-out manic episode. First of all I'm not manic and I have never acted in that manner before. Zoloft made me extremely nervous and agitated I couldn't sleep, I couldn't orgasm, dry mouth I take Valium on an as need basis and it works great for me. No side effects and sometimes I can go days without even having to take one. | I have tried Zoloft, Paxil, and effexor they all suck because of their side effects I would rather hurt and be depressed than feel the way these new age so called anti-depressants/anti- anxiety medications make me feel | F | 45 | | 4/28/2004 | 2 | Clinical Depression | Crazy mood swings, inability to concentrate, inability to cry, bouts of insomnia followed by bouts of increased sleepiness, decreased appetite | I had bad side effects from Zoloft so I'm going to stop taking it, but hopefully it works well for others | F | 21 | 2 months | 4/25/2004 | 1 | depression | Severe skin rash, which covered my neck and face. | F | 36 | 7 days | 4/21/2004 | 5 | Moderate chemical depression | Initial side effects included period tremors, mainly in my hands, that went away after I had been on the med for a few weeks. Ongoing side effects include nausea (if I don't eat something with it), sleepiness, and difficulty achieving orgasm. | Am taking this in combination with Wellbutrin, which counteracts the sexual side effects and the sleepiness. Overall I am delighted with the difference Zoloft has made for me in letting me lead a normal life, and I consider a bit of nausea to be quite worth it. | F | 33 | 7 years | 4/19/2004 | 5 | Depression | Excessive yawning, mildly vague and headaches at first. Tightness in the neck/upper chest. Restless sleep accompanied by detailed and often strange dreams. Frequent diarrhoea. | Has helped me get my life back on track. I am more loving and caring towards my wife and even the dogs prefer the new, more relaxed and happy me. | M | 36 | 2 months | 4/19/2004 | 4 | depression, possible borderline | loss of appetite, tiredness, lots of difficulty achieving orgasm, low sex drive | love it except for the low sex drive and difficulty having good orgasms | F | 27 | 7 years | 4/18/2004 | 4 | Depression & Axiety | Very sleepy, would doze off at work at my desk and during meetings. Weight gain. VERY vivid dreams to the point of not really knowing what I dreamt and what really happened. | Helped the depression only quit taking it because it affected my job (the sleepiness) think it may have helped the anxiety, I remember I was able to cut back on my dosage of xanax. | F | 31 | 6 months | 4/7/2004 | 5 | because of ADHD | ITS BECAUSE I GET REALLY MAD SOMETIMES AT PEOPLE OR THINGS THAT HAPPEN AND I KINDA GO CRAXY.BUT UMM ALOTG OF PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE THAT PILL ITS NOT LIKE ITS GONNA KILL ANYBODY.BECAUSE ITS NOT LIKE NARCOTIC DRUGS. | IT REALLY WORKS PLUS ITS MOSTLY FOR DEPRESSION AND I HAD THAT AND IM A TEEN.ALOT OF TEENS TAKE DRUGS EITHER THEN HAVING MEDICINES PRESCRIBED FOR THEM AND SOME OF THEM DIE.MOST OF THE DRUGS HAVE BAD SIDE EFFECTS. | F | 13 | 2 months | 4/5/2004 | 5 | Panic attacks | Very tired, not interested in sex, but was able to have sex fine. Wanted to drink alot of liquor. | The decrease in sex was good, I had an overactive sex drive before, this was a nice break. Got rid of all panic attacks in a month, and quick taking it myself with no withdraw effects. | M | 36 | 4 months | 4/2/2004 | 4 | depression | decreased sex drive;inability to orgasm;fatigue during the day;yawning constantly;extreme headaches with severe tension in the neck area,least little problems seemed to make me feel hopeless and felt like I wanted to die (not suicidal however-yet!) | Depression due to death of a best friend of 25 years. 25 mg. per day made me feel much better within two days. I was once again able to get out of bed and go to work and accomplish the tasks at hand. Stopped crying all day long. Able to laugh and smile again. Worked for the problem, but I am ready to get off due to the side effects that I don't like (more and more seem to be showing up) | F | 47 | 3 months | 3/29/2004 |
