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): 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 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): 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): 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.

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.

sertraline: I HAVE DONE EXTREMELY WELL ON THIS MEDICATION, i HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE PANIC ATTACK SINCE i STARTED TAKING IT, MY DEPRESSION IS BETTER i WOULDN'T SAY IT'S COMPLETELY GONE. THE TWO NEGATIVES ARE LOWER SEX DRIVE WHICH DOESN'T BOTHER ME, AND WEIGHT GAIN WHICH DOES BOTHER ME ALOT! BUT i HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN, BEING OVERWEIGHT OR NOT LOSING MY MIND ANY MOMENT, i CHOSE THE LATTER!
