User Reviews for sertraline oral

I originally began taking this medication for PTSS. It effectively erased most negative symptoms within the first 2 months. I have also had disthymia (low-grade generalized depression) for years and I continued to take this medication because it had great benefits to my mood. My sex DRIVE is fine, but my actually ability to "finish" has greatly decreased. But my husband and I agree that the benefits are worth that to us.

This treatment has worked as far as depression is concerned, however, I do not feel like I have normal feelings on this medication. I feel very lathargic.

I started using this drug for pmdd and continued through menopause for hot flashes. (About a 4 year period)I have not had uncontrollable hot flashes, usually one or less a day.

Somehow I think my last message got erased but it wasn't bad. I got on this about a couple years ago...It has helped me...when I first got on it I got a headache, but that went away and there have been no other side effects that I can remember and I haven't had any more side effects...it helps me go to sleep...I also had depression when I started taking this and it made me feel emotionally peaceful.

As A BPD patient, it is difficult to find meds that really work. Zoloft is a God sent. I've been on it for over a year now and it has been a great ride so far. When I do forget to take it, I notice right away, but I've learned how to control myself for a day, until I can continue my treatment. My sex drive is way down, but a sacrifice I'm willing to make for my mental health.

I have been on this for a week, and i am already starting not to feel so depressed and anxious, last night i started noticing a decreased appetite though.

Significantly reduced depression. I no longer weep, for any reason. This is a part of this mediaction that I do not like. I don't even weep for joy or happiness, things very important to me.

Calm no more rage should of had this drug 40 years ago

I have been taking 50mg Sertraline for 2 1/2 weeks now. I feel somewhat better mentally but have been having weird dreams and difficulty sleeping. I cannot obtain an orgasm either. I am going to hang in a little longer to see if the side effects go away

I have taken almost every medication but due to my severe Epilesy and Brain Injury I have to be careful. Sincerely, Kelly M. Thompson

My doctor first put me on Wellbutrin. It made me feel the worst I had ever felt in my life. I then was prescribed Zoloft (Sertraline) and the panic attacks are gone. It took about 4 weeks for full effect. Ask your doctor to put you on Xanax while the Zoloft is taking effect, so you can function. I can go out and live my life again without any fear. Remeber if you are feeling more depressed then normal or feel as through your condition is getting worse on any of these med's call your doctor. It is not you it is the med's making you feel that way. Some people experiencwe side effects with one of the medications and then a ifferent one will work. It happened to me:) Read More Read Less

I have been on Zoloft/Serataline for over 10 years. It works for me. I have tried other meds and tried to go off of it but can tell a big difference whenever I have. PLEASE if you are taking this medicine and it is not working or the side effects are too much for you - tell your health care provider. They will work with you to find right med/s for you. You deserve it!

For the most part, I like this medication. The only problems I've come across are things like: - Decreased sex drive - Mood swings if I miss a day - Mood swings if the mg isn't as effective I noticed changes immediately after I started taking it, and it has helped. I've decided to keep using it.

I started at .25mg then to 50mg. I was having stomach pain,dizzness,back pain and not able to enjoy sex or orgasm.

I have been taking this medication for a little over 3 months. It dosen't seem to have helped me at all. I have lost alot of weight and i get frequent headaches, which never occured before i was on this drug. I am definitly going to change medications and try something else.

This med helps me stay balanced with dealing with stress and just everyday affairs. I feel more complete and more myself while on it.

I rated effectiveness and satisfaction as four stars versus five because after running out of the medication and having been off of it for a few weeks, I've along with others noticed uncharateristic mood swings, if not certain bouts of rage.

Zoloft has worked wonders for me. I don't have panic attacks anymore and my depression isn't that bad. I tried so many drugs before this one and was very afraid to use this one but it did help a lot and I am glad I am on it. I have been on it for a few years now. It took about a month for it to work totally on me but I did feel a lot better after two weeks. The only thing I don't like about this pill is (sertraline HCL tablets by Teva USA)are much larger and uncoated. I would rather take the brand name instead. Yes I do get dry mouth and my sex drive did slow down. I also am alittle cranky if I forget to take it. But I can live with this. Before I could barely function. Read More Read Less

I am a recovering bulimic who was prescribed this medication for excessive anxiety stemming from an eating disorder. I was very nervous regarding the possible weight gain because I didn't want to have the possibility of a relapse, but have actually lost weight and experienced very minimal side effects (slight head-aches, fatigue, restlessness, decreased appetite). Overall, it's a great drug, but it does take a week or 2 to get the full effect. My anxiety has definitely been calmed down and I really feel like myself again. Hope this helps!Read More Read Less
