"I have been on this medication since 6 days after I had my baby. So it needs exactly 359 days, and I took this daily as prescribed. It’s 50 mg, and it’s not working anymore. Before I started taking this, I was crying nonstop, and I felt so detached from the world when I wasn’t crying. It was bad. I started taking it, and after about 3 weeks, I started feeling okay. It’s been a month since I felt okay. Still taking this medication daily, I feel no different from where I first started. Crying every night, and feeling so detached. It’s good for something temporary."

"I got PPD so bad I was borderline postpartum psychosis. Zoloft and imipramine (which helped me to quit crying) helped me. My son is 22 years old, and anytime I try to quit one, my stomach hurts and I can’t quit crying. I continued Zoloft while pregnant with my daughter five years later. I had to quit imipramine when I found out until I was 12 weeks pregnant. I went to see a counselor during that time because I was starting to cry all the time again. Granted, I have to say I was put on Accutane at the same time."

"I was prescribed Zoloft for postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD of contamination. I took 10 mg of Zoloft for two weeks only as it was ineffective for me. I experienced no side effects, which was the only upside. All medications work differently for different people. I experienced postpartum depression and anxiety only one month after my first and only son was born. As a first-time mom, I thought everything I was experiencing was typical until I began having suicidal thoughts and resorted to self-harm, all taking a toll on my relationship with my son and husband. I waited until my son was 10 months old to finally get help. I felt severe anxiety still while taking Zoloft. Again, this is only my experience with this medication."

"This medication is a lifesaver. It has lessened my anxiety and depression. I’m now happier and calmer. My days have gotten better. I’m now on my 9th week, and it’s amazing."

"As well as having Borderline Personality Disorder, I have had severe postpartum depression. I have found Zoloft to be very helpful in regulating my moods and keeping the demons at bay. Happy trails."

"I love it. I had gotten postpartum depression, it's helped me enjoy my baby. The only side effect I have is it takes longer to reach orgasm and a little weight gain, but not bad."

"Gained 20 lbs in 4 months because I had no control when it came to food. Felt like a bottomless pit. Weaned myself off it and can now feel hunger cues again and satiety when eating."
