So far the only bad side effects I have had is nausua, some difficulty sleeping, and alittle bit of irritability about 30 min after i go to sleep. I am worried though because I am 7 months pregnant.

Zoloft certainly helped stabilize my mood changes associated with pms/pmdd.

This med helped me through a tough time, but the side effects were not worth the benefits. The 30 lb. weight gain in 1.5 yrs along with the withdrawal coming off are horrible. I wish I would have never taken this med.

Medication works great for keeping you on an even keel. Reduces the everyday stress. I am happy again and not worried about everything. However, lack of interest in sex is not so good

I began taking this medication for anxiety for more than 2 years. Overall, it was very helpful, but I think I became more depressed over time and the sexual side effects were a real bummer. I've recently switched to another type of medication - mailnly for depression - fewer side effects, but waiting to see if it's as effective for symptoms of anxiety.

This medication was not that effective in treating my anxiety and panic disorder, to a certain point and it might have helped somewhat but not much.

Worked for about 2 years, but found myself grinding my teeth... Cymbalta works better.
