Just because I did read so many 'bad' reviews when I started Sertraline.. I feel I owe the world my positive experience : ) My day to day life has changed from a constant battle to a breeze. Now I finally feel my normal self again, I realise how anxious and depressed I was. I am a intelligent high functioning person that still got by on shear will power. I have been taking it 2 months and only ...
The worst experience with a medication. Made me suicidal and astonishingly hostile...the very name of this product sickens me! I have a startling list of names that testify to this same situation. Every individual is different. You are at your own risk...but with this medication, so is everyone else.

I am now able to enjoy life. Never realized how anxious I was until the physical manifestations started and my health care provider started me on Zoloft.

After being easily irritated over minor issues, the mood swings have subsided greatly with the Zoloft daily.

This medication has caused many side effects that have resulted in me suffering from more anxiety than I started with. This medication should not be prescribed to anyone and if prescribed to you, don't take it. Ask for something else.

My wife has used Zoloft for years, and it's the best treatment she's found for her depression, without the side effects she experienced with Prozac. It has truly raised the quality of our lives.

I use it for OCD and have found it very effective at maintaining balance in my mental state. However, when I have forgotten to take it or didn't get it refilled, the withdrawal symptoms (light-headed, dizziness, anxiety...) can be pretty difficult to deal with.

I experienced loose bowel movements everytime I ate something! The plus side of that was that I actually lost weight while taking Zoloft. Also, I didn't have any less interest in sex, but I did have a harder time reaching orgasm.

I have had success with this drug! BUT I was wondering if anyone had weight gain while on it. I know I have and I am looking for something else that does not give me weight gain.
