Zoloft question experience please

A lot of anti-depressants cause rapid weight gain...

it would be a tiny dose. thank all of you who are concerned but it is not a big deal. she went to see a counselor because i think she over reacts to things and needs to relax. she is probably not gonna take anything. she certainly doesn't need an antidepressant

Actually SSRIs are used as Anti-Anxiety meds for Panic Disorders. Everyone is chemically balanced or imbalanced differantly so its hard to say what will work for your girl. It will take a minimum of 2-4 weeks for SSRI meds to start working the way they are supposed to work. So if she does get a script, dont think things will change overnight, SSRI meds take time to start working.

Get her to learn self hypnosis, use a book a tape, a hypnotist. Its a great skill to learn. I found zoloft and every other anti depresant as well as the antisicotics (scitzofrania) meds bombed me like no other meds ive ever taken. I just couldnt function at all. There for i stoped taken them and learnt to self hypnotise, Admitadly im bloody hard to hypnotise but im off all that shit for last 5 years now. Other thing i found is ive been put on HRT/TRT and ive never felt so stable in my life. Maybe thats her problem.
Got no answers but just my experiences.
Good luck to u both.

When I was on it blowing my load was a fucking effort.

with SSRI's, DRI's and NRI's its really a guessing game whats going to work. Individual neurochemistry is not discernable by symptoms, though it does give an idea of where to start.

with these drugs you will find that many people have VERY STRONG opinions both for and against them. they should be looked at as an addition to therapy and behavioural modification, taking them generally just makes the symptoms less apparent or more manageable, IDEALLY so that you can take the steps needed toward managing without them.

 

[macrophage69alpha]

most people just take them, they feel at least somewhat better, and dont use the window that the drugs allow for introspection and behaviour changes that can alleviate the underlying neural distress/imbalance.

hey bruce, my wife was having the same problems. she would stress out over stuff that wasn't that big of a deal. at first i thought she was crazy cuz we all have stress. but she insisted that it was affecting her day to day activities. her doc put her on paxil which i think is like zoloft. it has helped her alot. i know they said it may cause libido problems but i haven't really noticed.

seems kinda weird all these women with anxiety problems. i mean, life is stressful and we all have problems but woman seem to go over the top. either way, hope she gets help with it and it doesn't affect your sex life .

Zoloft supposedly treats both anxiety and depression, it is also like prozac, takes a while, 2-3 weeks to get in your system their website could tell you how long it stays in your system.


It gave me panic attacks, and I hated it.

if she can avoid A/D meds do so as they will screw up her sex drive.zoloft has ruined my wifes' sex drive and trying to come off that shit makes her feel
horrible and causes severe night sweats. just my 2ct
