I am able to mingle with the public now and have sensible conversation. | M | 47 | 6 months | 4/11/2003 | 5 | Depression | Urinary urgency earache Sexual side effects (ranging from increased orgasmic sensation to inability to orgasam | I have noticed that the side effects have become bothersome as I have increased my dose from 100mg q day to 150mg q day. I will be decreasing my dose to 100mg q day to help control them. | M | 29 | 6 months | 4/6/2003 | 4 | anxiety | Diarrhea for the 1st day. Headache for the first 2-3 days | F | 43 | 4 weeks | 3/21/2003 | 4 | Depression | Crazy dreams, feeling a bit wired so dropped dosage to 1/2. Orgasm less intense. | Took a few days to get used to my new personality but both I and my husband like it a lot. I experience normal emotions and empathy which I never really did before. A lifesaver. | F | 48 | 6 months | 3/5/2003 | 3 | Weight Loss | Positive: After about six months you will reach a minimun weight. Don't blow it like I did. My weight went down to 190 lbs. the lowest in years. Negative: After an additional year my weight approached 300 lbs., 60 lbs. higher than ever. I also believe it is somewhat of a Chemical Labotomy. I have been off the drug for six months. | M | 51 | 2 years | 3/3/2003 | 5 | depression | F | 33 | 2 years | 2/28/2003 | 2 | depression | Headaches and sinus congestion | Seemed to make me more acception of issues but not driven to resolve any. | M | 33 | 8 days | 2/25/2003 | 4 | mild depression/anxiety | Weight gain (15 lbs), initally difficulty sleeping - taking pill in am eliminated this, delayed orgasm, reduced creativity (I'm a writer). | I was only on 50mg and had great relief from depression and anxiety. I took myself off of it b/c of the weight gain, felt fine for 10 months, and then was hit hard by a relapse. I'm trying Lexapro now to see if I can avoid side effects. If I find they are all the same, I'd take Zoloft again b/c it really helped. | F | 34 | 10 months | 2/20/2003 | 3 | depression/anxiety/obsessing | At first, I had frequent nausea and painful headaches. Also made me feel a little spacey at first. But very soon began to have sexual side effects, which got progressively worse. Tried taking Wellbutrin with the Zoloft to see if that would help, but all the Wellbutrin did was give me hives. I am now slowly weaning off the Zoloft and trying Celexa. I already notice some improvement. :) | It made me feel great, but the sexual side effects were simply too much. | F | 24 | 2 months | 1/13/2003 | 5 | Severe depression | Some new problems with anxiety, although the symptoms really began while I was pregnant with my son so hormones could be to blame. | I started taking this after a suicide attempt two years ago. I have taken anywhere from 50mg to 100mg throughout the course of treatment. I have had no sexual side effects like with Prozac, I would highly reccomend this drug. | F | 23 | 2.5 years | 1/9/2003 | 4 | DEPRESSION / ANXIETY | M | 28 | 2 years | 12/23/2002 | 4 | DEPRESSION / ANXIETY | Weird dreams for first month. | saved my life | M | 28 | 2 years | 12/23/2002 | 1 | Panic Attcks | Upset stomach, loss of appetite, feeling of nausea while eating, unable to sleep, mood swings through out the day. | I was taking 50mg at bedtime. | M | 20 | 7 days | 12/11/2002 | 3 | Anxiety and depression | Zoloft worked very well with the exception of a chronic stiff neck. | I had trouble sleeping when I began taking Zoloft, but after a week I was sleeping very well. I did have some mild agitation, but the worst problem was a stiff neck which became unbearable. | M | 59 | 6 times | 11/20/2002 | 5 | Severe OCD | During the first few weeks: constipation, insomnia (up for 4 days straight), general "wired" feeling, trouble getting erection, extreme difficulty reaching orgasam, and just not feeling right. All these side effects disappeared within 3 - 4 weeks except for the insomnia. I have no problem with erections or orgasm anymore. I feel good and normal again except for not being able to sleep. Recently I have developed a slight weight gain. | Zoloft has put 100% of my obsessions in remission and 95% of my compulsions in remission. The insomnia I experience is annoying but I would rather have insomnia than go back to the world of OCD that I lived in for almost a decade. I take 15mg of Restoril nightly and I sleep very well on it. | M | 26 | 7 months | 11/17/2002 |
