Zoloft

Anybody here tried Zoloft?

Paxil/Aropax absolutely sucked, mind you I just quit it cold turkey...stupid me, it was like I had terrible flu for 2 weeks, black spots, so light sensitive I had to wear sunglassess at night with just a 25watt bulb on.

Cipramil makes me sleepy.

Fluoxetine/prozac is okay, helps irritability and depression.

hi there. Well i started taking zoloft about 7 weeks ago. I am still on it and although it takes about 4-5 weeks to actualy start working, it seems to be working pretty well. I have had less anxiety attacks and when i do have them its less severe. Not all medication works for everyone. What works for me may not work for you. It is also said that these kinds of medicine work best while going to therepy or cognitive behavioral therepy. I am taking both the medicine and going to therepy. Im not cured 100% but this medicine has helped me to get a little bit better. I hope this advice helps you. Take Care and let me kno how you are doing

love, mickey

I've been taking Zoloft for about 2 months now and it has helped me a lot. Like Mickey said though, it varies from person to person. My depression has completely been alleviated and my anxiey is slowly getting better. I want to get out and do things more now. This is big for me because I pretty much stayed in my room for 3 months straight. I hope you find something that works for you. Therapy is also very key.

I started taking Zoloft and Geodon approximately 3 weeks ago. The drugs have had little effect as of yet. I am hoping after a couple more weeks, things will look up. I will post again later to provide my experience...

I had a few drinks over the weekend one night, and I did not feel well at all. I contributed it mostly to the Zoloft. However, I had a few drinks last night as well, and I felt completely fine. I may be getting used to the Zoloft, or it may be completely unrelated. I can't tell for sure...

I hope you meant get out of your current situation jajdude - there are plenty of things to live for! Teaching is a very noble profession!
