Zoloft Review Summary

Antidepressants work differently for everyone. Zoloft is prescribed for depression, anxiety, and OCD. Many of our reviewers are quite pleased with the level of relief they obtained taking this medication. Some felt their emotions were flat and the drug made them tired. It is essential to discuss all your options with a trusted doctor who will help you to choose the right medication for your issues and personality. However, many of our reviewers are pleased with Zoloft and didn't experience some of the major side effects that can occur with any antidepressant.

  I was one of those miserable,angry,at the world people,for no good reason. My earliest memories are filled with gloom and hate. Now, looking back on my life, I don't know how my family put up with me.I was always fighting mad. —   Anyway, after my father died when I was… read full review »

About two months ago I was at the doctor's office having my yearly womanly tests and just started crying my eyes out.  Not because of the annoying, invasive tests, but because the questions my doctor had asked me just brought the emotions of a really bad year to the surface.  This, of… read full review »

I've been taking Zoloft for almost 5 years now.  I tried 2 other medications before this one and they both left me in a fog.  I was tired all the time, couldn't function.  The depression was gone but so was every other emotion.  Zoloft is different.  I feel like a normal person now.  For the first time in my life I have normal emotions.  I don't have to live in fear of how I'm going to react to the daily stresses of life.  My husband and I are seperated right now and I people have commented on how well I'm dealing with it.  Little do they know, I… read full review »

I have been taking Zoloft for about 6 months, perscribed for depression and anxiety. I have found that it helps prevent the "fits" or "rages" in which I used to self-mutilate, but hasn't helped my general depression or anxiety for the other 98% of my life. Everyone reacts differently to Zoloft, but it does not seem to work well for me. Further, it has completely killed my sex drive, which is causing some problems in my relationship. — I am glad not to be self-harming anymore, but I was hoping that it would help a little more than it does with my day-to-day depression. —… read full review »

I had severe depression as a teen as well as obsessive compulsive disorder. The depression lead to self-mutilation. As soon as the zoloft started to take effect on me my life changed so much for the better. I know for sure I wouldnt be alive today had it not been for Zoloft. It is a miracle drug! It is expensive so luckily I had medical coverage through medicaid. If it came to choosing between going without food and going without zoloft I would go without food thats how necessary it is for me. I believe I have/had adhd and I believe the zoloft has greatly improved these… read full review »

Over the past 20 years I have tried so many medication for anxiety and panic attacts. I have been taking Zolft for the past 7 months now. It has drastically improved my life. I still have anxiety, but not nearly the way I used too. I don't spend all day worrying about silly things. I have 4 yound children and stress seems to get to me. I used to not like to go away from home much. Since I have been taking Zoloft I am always on the go. Zoloft does not make me tierd the way other medications did in the past. I would recommend Zoloft for anyone with anxiety or panic.… read full review »

Over all, fantastic medication. Suffering with severe PTSD, panic attacts and depression is not easy to handle. This has been the best medication, thus far! I not only recomended to my girlfriend, but she inquired with her doctor and has been perscribed it as well. — If you are not aware of the possibilities, you might not notice the sexual side effects, at first. It is the only side effect I have really noticed..but only after it had effected me. Still well worth… read full review »

I have used Zoloft for 15 years. No side effects and it makes my life much more pleasant. I think that there is a small amount of weight gain. Pros definately outweight the cons. I have tried to switch to other medications with little success. After using this product for a few years as a premenstral aid it was actually indicated for that use in the medical journals. I would definately recommend it to a friend. … read full review »

I went on this med. 2 1/2 years ago. It took awhile and alot of adjusting but once my Dr. got things balanced out I could really tell a difference. I'm getting better everyday and now have been able to back off for 2 pills a day to 1 most of the time. I realize all med. don't work for all people but this one worked for me. —… read full review »

This medicine works wonders with me. Just a couple of days after starting on Zoloft I was a totally different person. I have been on Zoloft for 8 years now and would not want to change. The problems I find with Zoloft is a low sex drive and weight gain. I am still on Zoloft because I feel the benefits outweigh the side… read full review »

I have used this product for over 10 years.  It helps me cope with stressful situations.  The only side effects I have experienced have been a low sex drive (since I am older now,small price to pay) and a slight weight gain. I am definitely a more even tempered person on this med! — … read full review »

I was put on Zoloft for depression years ago.  I only took it for three months because the sexual side effects I experienced were not worth the little bit of help I received from it.  I wouldn't go back on this medicine if you paid me, it just wasn't worth it to me. … read full review »
