I have been a "highly funtioning" depressed person for many years: life of the party, witty, intelligent, charming, intelligent conversationalist, highly successful at the top of the food chain in my field, ...until I got home. Work was an escape from myself for me. If I had no weekend functions to attend I would be catatonic, only getting out of bed to use the bathroom. I had always felt like a...

I've been on this for 2 yrs. and it has worked great for my moods,but not so well on my figure. I gained 30lbs. and it killed my libido.I stopped taking them, and lost 7lbs. in the first week. Now I have to decide whether to be fat and happy, or thin and anxious.

Zoloft works no doubt ,my anxiety and anger are minimized now ;although weight gain is inevatible because of weird cravings and becoming lazy due to metabolism slowdown.

I have been taking this medication for about 6 weeks now and I feel better than I have in a long time. It takes awhile before you see the full results but its worth sticking with. Ive been spending more time socializing with friends and family and seeing the brighter side of things.

Med gave me pretty severe headaches. I became tired easily and usually exercise 5X a week vigorously. I became almost faint when I tried to work out while on the drug. I also lost 5 pounds in a week (very unusual for me). My appetite decreased probably from the lask of exercise, but could be the med. Going to switch to Zoloft.

I gained weight right from the start. It has calmed me down to a nice smooth pace, almost to mellow, but it has also done wonders to our love life. If you are premature male this is the answer you have been looking for.

I have been on prozac, lexapro, wellbutrin, and effexor. Finally my doctor switched me to sertraline 50mg about four months ago and I feel amazing. This rx has been a lifesaver for me! I have gained a few pounds, but don't believe it's from the medication. I really believe that I am much more happier and relaxed and have been more social, going out and what not. I believe that's where the weight came from. The only thing is that if I miss a dose, I can immediately tell within 12-24 hours, and my anxiety begins coming back. I highly highly recommend this medication for someone with depression/manic phases/anxiety. Excellent med.Read More Read Less

I have been taking the medication for a week and a half now for anxiety and depression. I feel much better than I did 2 weeks ago. I can actually leave my house now! I do have some minor side effects..trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, and diarrea. I am not completely better yet, but I am being told by my doctor it will get better each day. I also have great faith in the Lord to help me with my healing!

I have taken it before with great success for my anxiety disorder, but that was 10 years ago. I spent less than a year on it and didn't even need xanax after a year and a half. Now I'm back on it for anxiety once again. I have side effects such as shaking, occasional diarrhea, drowsiness, and some occasional mild to moderate depression. The doc assures me it will go away in a few weeks as my body adjusts to the meds. On a positive note, I've only been taking Zoloft for a week and I already notice the change. Although I'm not anywhere near over my anxiety yet, most days are bearable whereas a week ago I thought I couldn't take it anymore. Its an amazing medication even with its mild discomforts, which I'm sure will subside. Read More Read Less
