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  depression I had horrible side effects. Couldn't sit still, paced the house for hours on end, couldn't concentrate, had violent angry thoughts mixed with feelings of being absolutely terrified. After I stopped taking the drug, it took a few weeks before I recovered to the point at I been at before the drug. My doctor gave me this drug because it works wonderfully for a family member. I guess that is no indication of how it would affect me. F 27 6 days

 2  major depression, anxiety significant decrease in sex drive & satisfaction, dry mouth, minor sleeping difficulties, slight feeling of indifference (numbness) - this last symptom, however, might have been the result of the depression and not the medication didn't help very much, although i took a low mg dose in relation to my size and only took it for about 2 months. however, i have spoken to two other people (one a family member) who take it and claim it helps them a great deal M 25 2 months

 4  severe depression At first I had super dry mouth and wanted to sleep forever. That went away and then I had terrible problems reaching orgasm. After 6 weeks or so my sex drive vanished completely. My depression was gone until after about 5 months then the Zoloft just stopped working. I found if I took a year off the Zoloft, it would work again later so that's what I do. I have tried almost all classes of anti depressants and so far this works the best. I get all aspects of my life back together; career, social, family, spiritual. My love life suffers due to the lack of sex but it lets me focus on other areas. I have been on and off Zoloft for 5 years and found that staying at a dose of 25mg each morning is the best. Increasing the dose only increased the side effects. Zoloft let me still feel sad or angry at times, it didn't make me a complacent, happy person. It helpped me to feel the appropriate feelings for a situation instead of the all consuming feelings of doom and self loathing. Without antidepressants I am sure I would have kiled myself by now. No matter what the side effects are it's worth it to get me back on my feet and let me feel good for a change. F 38 5 years

 5  severe depression lower sex drive Zoloft has completely stabilized my moods. Without it I'm a mess, in fact people around me know if I've run out or skipped any doses! After being on the drug for so long I do feel like I'm getting a little bit immune to it though, I've recently had a few mood/emotional disturbances. However I am very thankful for what Zoloft has done for me and would definately recommend it to anyone suffering from depression to at least try. F 20 6 years

 2  post partum depression No sex drive whatsoever. Considerable weight gain. Pill gave me severe heartburn at night and anxiety during the day. Felt guilty and withdrawn. This was the second drug I was put on. Found that it worked better than the others but the increased side effects were one HUGE price to pay for some sanity. F 28 6 months
