User Reviews for sertraline oral

When I was taking a lower dosage, I felt this product was a good match for me. However, as my dosage has increased, I have gained a lot of weight in a small amount of time. At first, I thought the weight gain was due to my habits; however, I work out now 2 hours a day and participate in Weight Watchers. I am still gaining weight!

so I'm not really here to talk about how it is working for me, but recently under a tight financial situation I haven't been able to buy any more. SO I have stopped 'cold turkey' My moods still seem consistent, but I get very regular pulses throughout my body, like a little shock of electricity and some dizziness. I have been told stopping drugs like these are really bad for your health, the effects i am experiencing are uncomfortable but not unbearable. Does anyone know what this could lead to if I can't get anymore? Read More Read Less

This medicene is good but, I am only able to take half. It works wonders though!

side effects are dry mouth and low sex drive

I was on Zoloft a few years ago and it worked great for me. I just went through some tough times (money, loss of friend) and went back to my dr. and asked for it again. I take 50 mg at night and will be increasing it soon to 100 mg. I feel better, no mood swings (crying then angry). I feel better when I am on it then when I am not and my family likes me better too! Overall this has worked great for me.

This medicine made my anxiety horrible. I felt like I was always crawling out of my skin. Depression and anger was much worse.

i have been taking sertraline for a number of years but lately is seems that it is becoming less and less effective. i have been having some tough times loss of family, friends, financial and health problems and realizing that time is running short. i am wondering if it is the situation or the medication. i would like to change to something else but have not mentioned to doctor as of yet. trying to gather some info.

I started taking the generic zoloft, it was a blue pill, now I had to change pharmacies, and they gave a yellow pill, both are the same mg, but I don't seem to get the same effect from the yellow one as the blue. What could be the difference or is just my imagination?

I take 100mg in the morning only and it has done wonders I was very depressed and not myself... I notice I do get mean at times and then I will cry and feel like I am worthless but not often does that happen. I have so many diagnosis that I am on 4 phsyc. meds including Sertraline. I use to be on 7 meds just for my mental illness! So I really am happy with this medication.

not working

Caused depression.

this is making my life much easier and a much happier place.. its defitnely helping me out in all ways!

Ive been taking Zoloft and now sertraline 50mg. for postmenopausal depression for a number of years. Its worked wonderful to keep my moods balanced.

I have been having panic attacks for years and I was put on wellbutrin, when I lost my insurance my doctor switched me to sertraline because it was cheaper, I have noticed that my stress level has gone down, sometimes out of no where I feel like crying though for no reason, and I have almost no sex drive at all. Beside for the sex drive going down I think that the medication is more effective than wellbutrine was

my sex life has gone down and my sex drive as also droped

For the past nine years I have been a complete germophobe, resulting in worsening anxieties and obsessive complusive behavior. I would have periods where it would get slightly better and then I would slip into bad periods again. This fear and behavior was severely crippling my ability to live a normal life. Then finally after the most extreme episode I had ever gone through, and much prayer, I asked my doctor about medication to help me. She recommended Zoloft/ Sertraline to help me get past that initail attack of anxiety when I would encounter something that triggered my fear. It did not completely relieve me of all symptoms but made it possible to more rationally think about what happened and not become overwhelmed by the emotional reaction. I have taken this medication for the past six months and I would not say I am completely cured, but I have seen dramatic improvements in behavior, habits, and anxiety levels. Since dealing with this condition I have never had this level of comfortability and control. I started out taking 25 mg a day of this medication, and my doctor slowly increased it after several visits to 200 mg a day. On my own, as I have experienced improvements, I have slowly decreased my daily dosage to 150 mg, then to 100 mg, and I am now taking 50 mg a day and still doing well. The goal of my doctor was to get me to point where my initial reactions were controlled and then wean me off of it. In my case I knew I would not be on it for the rest of my life or even a few years. I am grateful for how this has helped me but I also know that God was and is working in my life and that he works in the ordinary things of life like doctors and medicine. To him be the glory.
