| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZOLOFT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Depression | The first few days felt kind of dizzy..went away. complete loss if libido and ability to achieve or maintain an erection | Seemed to work pretty good on my depression, but the sexual side effects were way too much to handle at my age...and any age at that matter | M | 24 | 2 months | 1/29/2002 | 4 | depression | I have only experienced two side effects while taking this drug(optimized dosage of 200mg/day). Upon taking the medication on an empty stomach, I would have diareha, obviously easy to curb. Once I switced to taking zoloft after eating, the stomach problems went away completey. I am still experiencing a rather bothersome side-effect, probably of no suprise to anyone who has taken zoloft. I have extreme difficulty reaching orgasm and my sex drive has decreased considerably. As a 24 year old women in a very committed realtionship, this proves quite disruptive. However, the medication works wonderfully for my depression. What a catch-22... | F | 24 | 6 months | 1/24/2002 | 5 | Clinical Depression | Excessive yawning (really odd), sleepiness (take at night, make it easy on yourself), low libido | Overall, despinte the side effects, I have been pleased with the way that Zoloft has made me an easier person to live with and happier to actually be in the world. | F | 25 | 5 years | 1/8/2002 | 5 | depression anxiety | F | 36 | 6 years | 1/7/2002 | 1 | depression | increase in weight | M | 24 | 5 weeks | 12/26/2001 | 3 | SEVERE DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, | with zoloft of 50mg then 100 mg, I experienced a decreased sex drive- and inability to have orgasm. more tiredness and irritable when I had to get up. monotone in emotion. | I felt like I existed- monotone...nothing was funny and nothing made me too upset either..just shrug my shoulders as my living room curtains caught fire from melted heater wire that sparked. (not kidding- literally oh well...ho hum!) It did only allow me to think about one subject at a time other than my previous 9,846 thoughts in 2 minutes. (which was good) | F | 30 | 1 years | 12/22/2001 | 3 | M | | 12/6/2001 | 1 | DEPRESSION | ENLARGED PUPILS, MUSCLE PAIN, MUSCLE TENSION, SLEEPLESSNESS, LOWER ABDOMINAL PAIN, FREQUENCY IN URINATION, PAIN IN BACK (AREA OF KIDNEYS), MILD CHEST PAINS, OCCAISIONAL TINNITUS, OCCAISIONAL TWITCH IN LEFT EYE | ORIGINALLY PRESCRIBED PAXIL, BUT HAD FLUSHING, CHILLS AND ENLARGED PUPILS WITH THAT MEDICATION AFTER ONE DAY. SWITCHED TO ZOLOFT, 50 MG A DAY. AFTER 6 DAYS SIDE EFFECTS SO SEVERE HAD TO DISCONTINUE. IT IS POSSIBLE I'M JUST TOO SENSITIVE FOR SSRIS, AS THESE SEEM TO BE THE MOST SEVERE PHYSICAL SIDE EFFECTS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME PERIOD I'VE HEARD OF. | F | 24 | 6 days | 11/23/2001 | 1 | Anxiety/panic, depression | Anxiety severely worsened. Depression also got much worse. | I felt terrified. couldn't concentrate racing thoughts. Crying spells. This is the worst antidepressant I have tried! Wish I never tried it. Prozac worked the best for me. Paxil also worked but it made me soooooo tired!Right now I am on Klonopin to try and get me through the relapse effect I felt from the Zoloft. | F | 27 | 4 weeks | 11/21/2001 | 5 | diagnosed with severe depression | at first, I felt very tired and lifeless. I had really bad headaches pretty much 24/7. I got so bad that I slept for almost an entire day and still wanted to sleep more until my roommate dragged me out of the room! Also, loss of sex drive :( | After three weeks of religiously taking Zoloft, hoping that things will change, it has. I feel like I have more energy and looking forward t projects I have started. I have realized that if I keep myself occupied with projects, I won't think about being sad and alone. I'm glad I'm taking Zoloft! | F | 24 | 3 months | 10/16/2001 | 4 | depression | stomach upset decreased libido | F | 39 | 10 months | 10/11/2001 | 5 | anxiety | delayed orgasm | wonderful, wish I had it 30 years earlier | F | 42 | 11 months | 9/28/2001 | 4 | Anxiety, anger management | Severe stomach upset, sleepiness, loss of stamina, mild loss of sex drive | I was a runner for many years but soon "ran out of gas" and stopped altogether - really miss it and gained 15 lbs. Also, never had a regular BM from day 1. I was permanently dehydrated from all the diarrhea. Decided to switch to Wellbutrin but have experienced dizziness possibly due to withdrawal?? Helped a lot with anger and panic, though. Improved my marriage. | M | 43 | 5 months | 9/12/2001 | 1 | depression | started hallucinating | forever to get past the side effects so doctor switched me to paxil. | F | 43 | | 8/20/2001 | 1 | Anxiety, OCD | OCD worsened. Anxiety also grew worse, which ended me up in the hospital the other day | This medicine is in no way a miracle drug like some claim. I would have been better off if I had stayed off of it | F | 18 | 2 months | 8/9/2001 | 4 | Anxiety/Depression | Nausea, weight loss in beginning. 0% sex drive, difficulty sleeping, nightmares, profuse sweating. | For the 1st. time on med in 1993 it worked great for me for about 2 years. 2nd. time on med in 1999 it seemed to not even touch my anxiety/depression. The nightmares and seeing things at night made me opt for another med. Effexor XR 150 mgs. has worked wonders on me. | F | 29 | 3 years | 7/28/2001 | 5 | panic attacks and depression | decreased libido, decreased appetite, lost weight | After about 2 weeks, I suddenly realized one day at work how much less stressed out I was, and was able to concentrate on my job much easier. Panic attacks became much less frequent. Overall, I was just much more realxed and happier | F | 24 | 6 months | 7/24/2001 | 4 | Depression | Sex drive lowered; orgasm harder to acheive. Feel a bit jittery. | Depsite the side effects, this medication obliterated a very severe depression. | F | 28 | 2 months | 7/18/2001 | 2 | Moderate/severe depression | Nausea, fatigue, apathy. I felt even less like moving than normal, permanently hungry and nauseous, yet every time i started getting food i felt like vomiting. Really kept me indoors far more than depression does. | Stopped it 2 weeks back, stomach cramps, nausea, vomit reflex and vague flu-like symtoms still persist. Glad I wasn't on it for long - bad enough now trying to get back into eating properly. Any info on how long this will go on would be welcomed | M | 44 | 6 weeks | 7/3/2001 | 3 | depression | sexual dysfunction, night sweats to point of changing underwear, pjs and sometimes sheets in the middle of the night | F | 32 | | 5/28/2001 |
