I’m super scared to take my new medication!
I don’t want any negative comments. I only want positive ones about your experience with Zoloft if that’s what you take.

hi! i don’t take zoloft, but i take prozac which is the same class of medication and it helps me a lot! having the extra medication support was what i needed to not spiral out of control and focus on the behavioral stuff i wanted to work on :)

Hello, I've been on Zoloft for 5 years. There's nothing negative to say, it really helped me a lot. I started seeing its effect after a month approximately, it made me feel like I had so much more space in my mind, and my obsessive thoughts went away. Now I don't take it anymore only because I had to start taking other meds that are not compatible, but it was really helpful

I've had Zoloft and it has really helped me. At the moment I'm taking another medication but when I was taking it, it helped me.

Zoloft worked well for me! I didn’t have any negative side effects from it.

My Lexapro I was on for 15 years pooped out on me. I am now taking Zoloft for a week and 2 days. No changes yet but im hopeful.

Zoloft changed my life in ways I could have never imagined. I went from debilitating fear, to doing things I hadn’t done in years. If you’re anxious about the experience, I recommend asking your psychiatrist about liquid sertraline (Zoloft). I started taking tiny amounts diluted in water so that I could work my way up to a more real amount. Game changer. You got this!

@Anonymous Thank you!!! . I just took my first dose today and I’m so nervous but these comments (especially this one) makes me feel so much better about the process

@tylermatthewsnead Totally normal to be nervous. But take it from someone who sat with the medication on my desks for months. My one and only thought was “I can’t believe it took me so long to start doing this.” I’m rooting for you!

I’ve never taken Zoloft but I’ve heard many people did well with it! I’ve used Prozac in the past and it worked well and I’m actually about 6 days in starting it again! Any side effects you may experience do subside and once they do it’s like you got your brain back

Zoloft really have saved my life so many times. I always take it but I had different dossage in different times of my life. It's really good for OCD. I was 17 when I took it the first time and I was worried. But in a few weeks I could se the world in colours again.

Medication Questions
Hi all! I am on Zoloft 100mg and I was hoping to get some feedback! My biggest fear is being suicidal and sometimes I’m like checking to see if I am suicidal on the medication but then I think maybe it’s my ocd. My doctor wants to go higher but I’m wondering if this is a good idea based on my thoughts. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Starting new anxiety meds
Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭

starting Zoloft.
For starters I was on this medicine before i remember the first few weeks were very scary and debilitating. I don’t remember why I stopped taking it , it was about 7 months ago. but I just recently started back because my ocd and anxiety has been off the chain. I keep having bad thoughts about the side affects and I’m terrified like “ what if I have a seizure” can anybody share an experience? Anyone on Zoloft here. Thanks !
