User Reviews for Sertraline

Zoloft (sertraline): This medicine has been a life saver. I was to the point where I thought I'd be in a constant state of panic (heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, hyperventilating). My symptoms initially got more intense once I started Zoloft, but after about 3-4 weeks I started to normalize. I started at 25mg daily, which helped side effects, and gradually worked my way up to 50 mg. I found taking 25mg in the morning and 25 mg at night helped keep the side effects to a minimum. After 2.5 months on Zoloft, I no longer need Xanax and my blood pressure has decreased dramatically. Whatever you do, don't hold up in your house while starting this medication. Get out and about, put yourself in uncomfortable situations.

sertraline: I started taking sertraline 50mg a week ago for anxiety. I have already noticed a difference in my mood and am able to control my anxiety. I haven't had any panic attacks. However, I've had to miss work due to side effects: nausea, loss of appetite, and diarrhea. No other side effects noticed. They say these should go away. I am going to keep trying it in hopes.

sertraline: While sertraline is undoubtedly effective at leveling out emotions, it could be said that at times it almost gives you "zombie-like" symptoms; I took the medication for my anxiety (combined with a traumatic event/post traumatic stress) and it was very helpful getting over the initial situation and forgetting it; however, for anxiety itself, it made me somewhat dysfunctional on its own, and I lost some of my drive and ambition. I started on 100mg, and have since gone down to daily 25mg tablets combined with 150mg of Wellbutrin XL daily, which in my personal opinion is a far more effective medication in that it doesn't tend to slow down the rate of someones introverted thought. Sertraline made me less emotional, in general.

sertraline: Sertraline has helped me so much. About a year ago I took a phsyc. test with my doctor (phsycologist). I was recommended to go on medication by her and so I took my results to my actual doctor and went over it with her. She decided to first put me on Prozac, it made my depression ease but my anger way worse. So then she put me on sertraline. Now I'm not so nervous around people. I used to always stay where I could see everyone but now I'm more at ease with my anxiety and can function and talk smoothly. I don't get angry (barely anymore) and when I do it's not near as bad as it was. I used to be always sad too. But now it's like when I wake up, I'm happy and wanting to do things again! Thank you Sertraline!

sertraline: I am on 150mg of Zoloft (Sertraline) daily. It has been a life saver. My GAD is under control, and I am enjoying life to the fullest. Gone are the days of constant worry and irrational fears. I also experienced few side effects as well.
