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)

 2  Anxiety Sleepy, night sweats, nervousness, loss of appetite, no sex drive I feel a little calmer, but not enough for me to continue taking this drug. Can't sit still, constantly shaking my leg, absolutely no desire for sex. Enjoyed the weight loss. Think I'll just try to cope with life without any medication. F 53 3 months

 4  panic attacks & post trauma depress Complete loss of sex drive. Forgot that I had once enjoyed sex. But it has done marvelous with the attacks and I feel more like myself. I do not like the weight gain though and the night sweats. It is wonderful but wished it did not take away my desire for sex and wished it would lose the weight I gained. F 49 11 months

 5  Depression This drug has changed my life. I was depressed with NO reason, all the time, negative, griping constatnly. Causing problems in my marriage. Noone wanted to be around me. NOW, it's totally different. Life is good.... Sexual dysfunction is there, I can still acheive orgasm, but sometimes takes a while. And my libido is less (but having 4 kids can also be the reason, and being married for 8 years). I am tired all the time, but again, the other reasons could be the cause of that also. Still, wouldn't go back to the way I was before. It's worth it!! F 33 6 years

 3  Anxiety / Depression Foggy thinking, almost no sex drive, feel like my brain is wrapped in cotton wool. It started working on the first day. Anxiety is much reduced, but I feel somewhat apathetic about everything. I will continue with the treatment for the present, as it is supposed to take six weeks to be fully effective. Perhaps when the depression starts to lift, I will feel less apathetic. I knew about the likely loss of sex drive before I started treatment, but I had hoped that with my anxiety being reduced, I would feel more inclined to want sex. However, judging from these early side-effects and other users experiences, I am not so sure. I will continue with hope. M 31 2 days

 1  depression Extreme jitters, inability to concentrate - the experience was debilitating throught the initial and only 2 week period. The side effects where far worse than and the symtoms of depression. I think doctors are totally unaware of what adequate prescription dosage should be set at. Mine was 40 mg and I have never taken any medication in this realm, so I suspect the dosage was extreme where my depression was pretty mild. F 45 2 weeks
