What's your experience on zoloft?

[Andres77]

I broke my back in the military. I was so awesome and fit. I went from"hero to zero" "stud to spud" in just a few seconds. Of course I was depressed and short tempered for a while. I was never abusive, just down, and it was never an excuse to be in a bad mood.
The military doctors started me on zoloft and wellbutrin. Like an idiot I trusted them. Then I read up on the medication myself and read the association to suicidal thoughts in some recipients. And the number of veteran suicides was making headlines as well.
I threw my pills away (I have a septic system) and told the doctors I won't take them again.

Effectiveness? After a month, until I read that article, I felt no difference. None. That's just me, I'm just one person, it might work for some people. The difference I did feel was after I threw the pills away that I changed my mind about what physical abilities I'd lost and appreciated what I still had and what I could still do and accomplish.

Changing my attitude to one of appreciation and hope and not depending on a drug to do it for me... that is what healed my mind.

Then I found this a few years later and was convinced that I did the right thing for me:https://www.youtube.com/embed/2glUblzp2rAEven the Bible mentions this.
This guy was the Chief of genetic studies at Stanford for years. Smart dude.

If the zoloft helps you, fine. That shit scares me though.
I hope you find what you need and are satisfied with the results.

It helps me with social anxiety somewhat. On the downside, it makes me feel emotionally numb and seems to dull sexual response. I only take 25mg, which is considered a starter dose, but when my doctor tried to increase it, it caused me to feel very unhappy, angry and agressive. At the 25mg dose I feel good.☺

Zoloft is really good. I first started taking Celexa then my doctor moved me to taking half a pill of Zoloft. After 2 months he moved me to take a whole pill. I took it for awhile until he moved me to take 2 Zoloft pills. 2 Zoloft was too much for me. I started to hallucinate really bad that I had the cops called on me last year. Zoloft works just make sure you take it with food.

took them when i was 16-17 and tb;h the only effect i felt was that it made me just slightly happier & calmer (like just slightly thought, even on max dose)

I'm on Citalopram, which is a different antidepressant.

The first few days or weeks can be hell. I've had terrible nausea for the first three weeks, and also every time I changed the dosage.

But it's helped me greatly. I started noticing the first effects quickly. They made me calmer and happier. They also reduced my migraines and my chronic pain. It's the perfect medication for my case.

Perscribed? You're 17. I'm not a doctor but I wouldn't take that crap if they force fed it to me.

It helped me tremendously. Although it made a close friend of mine feel much worse. Monitor your symptoms and keep in close contact with your doctor.

It gave me oily diarrhea for like a solid week. After that, though, it did help with keeping me level. After a few months, I started to build up a tolerance and had to have my dose increased, but it's been fine after that.

Makes me impotent, so I stopped. Those are SSRI.
I want Trazodone because those actually help me and do not make me impotent. Those are SARI.

I threw it in the trash twice instead of taking it. That is my full experience.

Made my ass a Zombie, Zoloft is a derivative of Prozac so is paxil

I’ve never taken it but I heard it’s an anti-depressant that relaxes you

Serequel worked better for me
