Do you have any personal experience with Zoloft?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I was on at least 3 different brands of anti-depressant/anxiety medications so it’s hard for me to distinguish them sometimes, but Zoloft was definitely one I took. I remember somewhere someone telling me that a medication will increase my appetite, and I was looking forward to that but it definitely never happened. So that it didn’t do for me. I’m not a very sexual person anyway, so that side effect was kind of irrelevant, too. (Or a result of a million anti- sexdrive depressant medications haha). The last medication I was on was the worst. It’s the reason I stopped taking any medications…because none of them were doing anything for me and the last one’s side effects were terrible. I’d get massive headaches and always puke. One day, my junior year in high school, I was in my US History class and I felt awful, so I went to the bathroom. On my way to the bathroom I gagged, so I began to run to the bathroom. It didn’t help that my classroom was literally the last room in the second floor. I luckily managed to get all the puke into the toilet bowl, but that was the day I stopped taking anxiety medications. Anyways, don’t be scared off or anything. It works differently on different people. I’ll get back to you and let you know if that last medication was the Zoloft or not.
