User Reviews for Sertraline

Zoloft (sertraline): I have been on Zoloft 100mg for a few months now for my anxiety/panic disorder. It has completely controlled my panic attacks, which is awesome. When I first started this medicine I became depressed, had suicidel thoughts, and no appetite. But those have since gone away as well. The only issue I have noticed still is I have no sex drive. Just wondering if this is normal with this drug and if it will eventually go back to normal.

Zoloft (sertraline): Works very well for panic attacks, although not flawless but easily 98% better than before. Best thing I have tried.

Zoloft (sertraline): I have been on Zoloft for almost 30 years now and never any higher than 50mg. I was stricken with panic/anxiety disorder in my early 20's, and now early 50's, I have never had to go higher. It keeps the attacks at bay, but once in a while, I will get one. I have heard it is hereditary. I do believe this is the case. Both of my siblings struggle with the attacks, and take Zoloft as well. Both of my girls suffer as well. The youngest one, now 23, has just started on Zoloft, 25 mg and she is not sure if it is working just yet. The oldest one is able to keep them at bay without medicines. You lose your sex drive on these medicines. I have confidence on this drug and hope others will also.

Zoloft (sertraline): I have been on Zoloft for 3 years now and it has worked beautifully for me. I still get panic attacks when close to alot of people but not nearly as bad as before.

Zoloft (sertraline): Stick with the medicine, it truly does take 6-8 weeks for your body to adjust. I take 75mg in the morning (keeps me up at night with RLS) and my anxiety is under control and I am able to go on with life and my day to day activities. The side effects I had in the beginning of being tired, RLS, yawning excessively...did go away with time and now I experience none of those things.

Zoloft (sertraline): This may sound weird, but I started Zoloft for depression almost 2 1/2 months ago, and I'm still severely depressed. However, I have noticed that it has helped me with a little something I now realized were panic attacks (haven't told the therapist or the psychiatrist about them). I went off the Zoloft for 5 days and all hell broke loose. I've been back on it and I realize that I'm very chill now. I don't freak out at every little thing and don't curl up in the corner of my room sobbing about meaningless things and things I can never change. So for panic disorder, I give it a high score. Depression, ..not so much. Oh, and it definitely helps with OCD too. I think I became OCD in some of my panics.

Zoloft (sertraline): I've been on 75mg for 5 months. I slowly started to feel normal and before I knew it, within 2 months. Had a huge breakthrough. I was no longer having panic attacks. What I like about Zoloft is that it makes me feel like me. Not a drugged up version of me. I had a few side effects like loss of appetite, insomnia but all in all, I feel a lot better.

Zoloft (sertraline): I have been taking Zoloft 100mg for over a month now for my anxiety disorders and panic attacks that have gotten in the way of my peace and my family welfare. The results have been positive, I feel less stressful, less jittery and do not snap at my family for anything. Also, it makes me feel more positive towards life and people. At first it gave me mild diarrhea for two days, and yes, my sexual appetite has dwindle a bit. I fully recommend it, it is worth trying some medication rather than living with emotional distress a whole life.

Zoloft (sertraline): Been on Zoloft for about 2 months for panic disorder. Taking 100mg a day I can see a noticeable difference. I feel more at ease, and I almost never panic like I used to. Friends have said that I am more social, and I'm more like the 'me' of years ago before stress and anxiety started to run my life. Like all anti-depressants, the first 2 weeks were a little rough, but my doctor gave me a prescription of Klonopin which helped. Like all SSRI, find the one that works for you. I was on Paxil for several months and was a mess. Horrible mood swings which my friends described as 'very manic depressive', which is something that I never had a problem with. Zoloft seems to work fine for me.

Zoloft (sertraline): This medicine works for me. It takes about 3 weeks to really see a difference, but I was able to take it even when pregnant and breastfeeding and it helped me to feel better and sleep and eat good for my baby. Very glad there is treatment for people who have this problem.

Zoloft (sertraline): After 4 different medications, Zoloft has worked the best for me personally.

Zoloft (sertraline): I have been on Zoloft for a year and I can honestly say it changed my life. I had suffered with anxiety and panic attacks since I was in the first grade, and I hated my life. I felt cursed. I felt weird because of it. It got to a point of hopelessness and depression. I did counseling, exercise, journaling, all-natural vitamins, everything. Nothing helped. I didn't want to rely on medication to help me get through life, but after talking to my doctor, I decided I had to. My doctor put me on a low dosage of Zoloft and I can honestly say, I've never been more calm, focused, content, and determined. Zoloft helped me relax and deal with problems rationally. It changed my life for the better, and recommend it to any teenager who needs help.

Zoloft (sertraline): I have been on Zoloft for 14 years now. It changed my life. It has stopped my panic attacks.

Zoloft (sertraline): I started using zoloft for 2 weeks and I can say now that I know how to handle my moods especially in dealing with other people. It really works for me!

Zoloft (sertraline): I decided to go back on sertraline (Zoloft) 50 mg after experiencing anxiety and depression. I have started on it and 2 days into it I am feeling sick. I lost so much weight. It also made me tremble and get chills. I have diarrhea and vomiting.

Zoloft (sertraline): I have been on (Zoloft) for 6 weeks now and have noticed a big difference in my mood and panicking. I have only had 3 panic attacks since I have been on it! Which is a good thing for me because before I started it I was having panic attacks all day everyday. I have only had night sweats other than that nothing major! I started out on 25mg just like everyone else and after 1 month they increased it to 50mg and I think that 50mg has helped me a lot. No more panic and no depression. Life is getting a lot better thanks to the Zoloft I would highly recommend it. Good luck to all.

Zoloft (sertraline): It made me very tired all the time. I was still having panic attacks and got diarrhea with it. It did not work for me. Time to try something else.

Zoloft (sertraline): Currently take 75 mg of Zoloft per day to help with panic attacks and anxiety (no depression). Took about 1 month for my panic attacks to totally stop. Still had anxiety but now that I've been on it for almost 3 months I have almost NO anxiety. Did experience a side effect of my jaw clenching starting in the 2nd month. When I was on 100 mg (my doctor didn't believe this was a side effect of the medicines (but I am CERTAIN), so I backed myself down to 75 mg and after 2 weeks of being on that reduced dosage the jaw clenching went away. SO grateful for this medicine. VERY IMPORTANT- if you have anxiety, panic, or depression. GET COUNSELING- it helps almost as much as the medicine.

Zoloft (sertraline): I have always suffered from depression, but got panic disorder after I broke up with my fiance of 3 years. During that time it was hell. I couldn't drive or go out alone in fear that I would hurt myself or others out of impulse. I was prescribed citalopram initially and it made things worse. Strangely my mom is on citalopram and copes really well (she has depression without anxiety). My psychiatrist recommended a switch to Zoloft and everything improved drastically. My symptoms of anxiety subsided dramatically and I can now continue with my life as normal. I still get mild panic attacks, but very rarely or when I get very upset. I would definitely give Zoloft a thumbs up, but it should be clear that these medicines affect every person differently.

Zoloft (sertraline): I'm a 21 year old /male. I started to have severe panic attacks. I smoked marijuana heavily for years and had a stressful situation a year prior to the attacks. I've been taking Zoloft for 7 months now and I want to wean myself off it. I take 100 mgs. It works to an extent but I think the rest is all in my head. When I first started I felt tired all the time but that passed... and after a month I could barely ejaculate and its been like for this for months. I want my libido back.

Zoloft (sertraline): I have been taking Zoloft 50mg for Panic Attacks for 7 years. I feel great and I have not noticed any side effects other than yawning right after I take the pill. It works so well for me that I never want to go off of it, however no studies have been done on long term side effects. I also don't want to go off of it because of all the scary things I hear about withdrawal symptoms.

Zoloft (sertraline): I started taking Zoloft after a very bad head on collision left me with post traumatic stress disorder and severe anxiety. I was taking Xanax but it did not help. I just started the Zoloft and agree, it is a miracle. Started at 50 mg then went to 100 and 100 left me feeling sick to my stomach and overall blah. I am taking just 50 and feel better. I feel more in control and stable. Have not had a panic attack since taking this medicine in just less than one week.

sertraline: This medicine saved my social life. I suffered so badly with panic attacks, I wouldn't even leave my house this medication has an instant effect. I don't get any panic attacks now and feel I can live my life normally. Few side effects like dry mouth and decreased sex drive but that is a small price to pay for the wonders this medicine done for my life.

Zoloft (sertraline): I started taking zoloft for panic attacks because xanax alone was not working and let me tell you - zoloft is a miracle. Zoloft feels like an anchor is on my brain keeping me so much more stable. It has even helped tone down my paranoia and hallucinations. Thanks to whoever created zoloft!

Zoloft (sertraline): Two weeks of digestive symptoms, and six weeks of not being able to orgasm, but then this medicine kicked in and I felt almost normal again. All the side effects went away. I started at 50 mg and never went up. My anxiety had settled down to where I could talk myself through it or ignore it. I am so grateful Zoloft was the first medicine I tried, and that it worked so well. I had a history of migraines, three or four a year, some so severe they lasted for weeks and/or sent me to the ER, and I haven't had a single migraine in the year I've been on Zoloft. SSRIs are not supposed to prevent migraines, but it sure seems like my issues were related.
