| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZOLOFT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | depression | Absolutely no libido! | F | 56 | 8 years | 11/17/2002 | 1 | chronic nerve pain | increased sensitivity to sun, extreme nervousness | after being out in the sun for only two hours i recieved an extremely severe sunburn, although i have a fair complexion i am regularly out in the sun for at least eight hours a day without any problems | F | 27 | 2 weeks | 11/12/2002 | 3 | depression | headaches, yawning | It does seem to help me not feel so stressed out about things, but I'm not sure if it had helped with depression. | F | 40 | 3 months | 11/7/2002 | 4 | Depression | Weight gain (15 lbs)in six years, fatigue, no interest in sex; decreases initiative (ho hum, who cares? syndrome)! Note: weight gain might be menopause and may have occurred anyway. | Stops hot flashes due to menopause. | F | 53 | 6 years | 10/26/2002 | 3 | generalized anxiety disorder | Well, i was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder so my doctor prescribed Zoloft. I had bad headaches due to stress prior to taking the medicine, and now they've stopped. As far as working any other way, i really cant tell a difference. Zoloft seems to also make me groggy and a bit irritable. | F | 18 | 10 days | 10/10/2002 | 4 | depression | for the first 2 weeks, "jittery", and tired in the day, but these went away totally, still sexual dysfunction | Works great other than side effects | M | 15 | 3 weeks | 10/9/2002 | 2 | Mild Depression | Horrible isomnia, felt like I was in a fog. Absolutely no libido or orgasms. Asked my doctor for a different drug after 30 days of taking Zoloft. | It did give me a sense of well-being | F | 37 | 1 months | 10/1/2002 | 3 | Depression | It worked well with relatively few side effects until about the second year when I started to gain 1/4 lb a month. Pretty soon I was up to 140 from my usual 120-125. When I switched I dropped the weight easily. | I was grateful that it helped me out with the depression. It literally saved my life. | F | 41 | 3 years | 9/26/2002 | 4 | panic attacks, nervousness | loss of desire in sex weight gain | F | 51 | 3 years | 9/16/2002 | 5 | anxiety/depression | Initially constipation but it went away after a few weeks. | This literally saved my life. Much better than Paxil (made me gain weight and sleepy) or Wellbutrin (made me suicidal and grumpy. I have a libido on this stuff unlike the other SSRI's. | F | 29 | 6 weeks | 9/13/2002 | 1 | depression | way too many to list. I word of advice, don't just wake up one day and decide not to take the drug. You will regret it. | M | 22 | 3 months | 9/12/2002 | 5 | Panic Attacks and Depression | At first I had severe dry mouth, felt sick to my stomach, dizzy and tired. I started taking the Zoloft at night to help eliminate feeling some of these side effects. | Zoloft turned my life around!!! I went from having 1-2 panic attacks a day to 1 or 2 a month! It saved my life. I went from being totally housebound to being able to go out on my own!!! I was afraid to be alone, now I actually enjoy it. However, I am now finding that it isn't working as well (after 8 yrs. and up to 150 mg.) so I am in the process of starting a new SSRI - Celexa. I can only hope that Celexa does as good a job as Zoloft did! I will let you know. Tapering off Zoloft and adding Celexa for 1 day now. I would highly recommend Zoloft~! | F | 37 | 8 years | 9/9/2002 | 4 | Depression/OCD | Diminished sex drive. Difficulty in maintaining erection. Weight gain. Yawning at embarassing times, like with talking to my boss. Lethargic most of the day. | Zoloft helps with both the depression and OCD. If it didn't I would have stopped taking it a long time ago. The side effects are hard to live with. | M | 47 | 3 years | 9/4/2002 | 3 | severe depression | completely destroyed what was left of my sex drive (and almost my marriage). I only take it now when I am having a particularly BAD day (suicidal). Good part is it works immediately. | Also helped me gain over 40 lbs that won't come off no matter what I do. Chronic constipation, too. Don't like that feeling of not caring about anything, though, good or bad. | F | 45 | 2 years | 8/28/2002 | 4 | depression | no sexual desire, decreased appetite, was very energizing! felt great immediately | unfortunately i went off zoloft because the sexual side-effects at only 50mg. was really bad. not only did i experience a non-existent sexual desire...i was also impotent for a while (i'm only 25!!) taking 300mg. daily of wellbutrin sr. didn't help at all so quit the zoloft completely. too bad because i was so happy, but relationship of 5 years was suffering | M | 25 | 3 months | 8/22/2002 | 2 | depression | very dizzy-dry mouth-sleepy | F | 34 | 2 years | 8/16/2002 | 2 | Depression | Tremors and twitching, Delayed and unsatisfying ejaculation | M | 35 | 4.5 months | 8/16/2002 | 4 | Severe Depression | Head tremors and twitching. | Helped me out of depression, but now having to deal with muscle cramping and tremors | F | 42 | 180 days | 7/19/2002 | 4 | panic attacks depression | weight gain upset stomach nausea | I feel more energy, more social life, enjoying life fully and more positive about life | F | 29 | 4 months | 7/19/2002 | 1 | depression | Never experienced a panic attack until AFTER taking only 4 doses (25 mg.) of this medication. Had 2 panick attacks while on Zoloft, quit taking the drug and have not had any more attacks, but now I am dealing with the fear of when/where the next one will take place. | I know a lot of people have had success with Zoloft, but it is not the right one for me. Be careful of the side effects that your doctor may not tell you about - i.e. increased anxiety. | F | 33 | 4 days | 7/13/2002 |
