Succesful ZOLOFT stories

I'm curious if anyone have any good results from zoloft. I'm using it now for a month, but it doesn't seem to help me

I felt some side effects from Zoloft, but it’s nothing so bad, so I can live with it

I’m using Zoloft for 3 months now. First there was a lot of small side effects such headaches but now they seem to be getting worse. I have stomach problems now and trouble with sleeping. I think you need to give the meds time to feel better. However I’d also like to hear more stories about Zoloft. Let us know how do you feel next months. Wish you good luck!

I’m also 3 weeks on Zoloft and I have a lot of side effects and still cannot sleep well. I’m pretty skeptic about this med.

I passed second week with Zoloft, and this time was really bad for me. The third week is now much better, so I hope with time it will keep getting better for me.

I was on it for 15 months, and it really helped. I just stopped taking it 9 days ago. I went through a pretty bad withdrawal, but the good news about that is that it goes away!

I did experience weight gain and a loss of some patience while on it. But now that I am off of it, i feel GREAT

Hope this helps!

I was just wondering if the medicine helped u how come you stopped using it?

hi,
you may not be on a high enough dose. zoloft helped me tremendously, 100 mg per day. now, 10 or so years later, i want off of it. i am weaning of by doctors supervision. only two weeks now and feel fuzzy, irratable, emotional, crying for no reason, etc. when you're on it it's great, but try to get off!!!!

I was on it for 3 years (and am still *supposed* to be on it, except for some technical difficulties with renewal and doctor's availability) for OCPD and GAD, and it helps me tremendously. I'm on 200mg daily with no noticeable side-effects. I'm just hurting from withdrawal right now. Hopefull I'll be able to fix it soon.

I have been on Zoloft for about 7 months now and can say with confidence that the positive effects of the drug definitely out weighs any side effects I have experienced. In the beginning I had trouble sleeping and my Dr. told me it was okay to take over the counter sleeping pills occassionally and that has helps. The dreams that I have are bizarre, but nothing to bothering. I have gained about 10-15 lbs, but I feel it is more because with the drug I am not as worried about what other people think about me and am much happier with myself, rather than the drug actually slowing my metabolism. It seems on these blogs there aren't very many success stories, but I must say - I am one.
