Common Questions and Answers about Exercise and zoloft

Slowly at first and then pretty hard today. I had hoped that the zoloft would keep the depression and anxiety away. I am seeing a therapist for CBT as well. My depression is still under control but the anxiety is bad. Shouldn't the zoloft take care of the anxiety? Also, once my body is full of adrenaline and/or cortisol or what ever the chemicals are that cause anxiety, what is the best way to get them out of my system?

My experience with zoloft was, that taking 50mg a day, I at first lost a few pounds, and was ecstatic. I've struggled with severe anxiety, and the zoloft really helped me. However, after about two months of being on it, I began to gain weight steadily, until I had packed 15 extra pounds on to my small frame. I never had ANY trouble with weight gain in my life; if I started seeing the scale creep up, I could exercise and be careful for a day or two and it would go right back to normal.
About 1 year ago, I had a physical done and my blood work was perfect. I have been taking the generic for Zoloft, Sertraline, for about 8 months now. I did another physical 3 wks ago, and it showed my TSH levels off and my Cholesterol as 276 with high LDL cholesterol also. My HDL level was high, which is great. I exercise and eat very healthy.
absolutely, I have many of those same issues, mornings are my worst time although it can continue thru the day. I too take zoloft but take it at night as it makes me sleepy. I am doing meditation and exercise in the mornings and that seems to be helping. I always suggest Eckhart Tolle books or he has stuff on u-tube. The intrusive thoughts and the what ifs really can screw up your day. Seems to come with the territory but I am hopeful to retrain the brain!!!
I am in the midst of a major depression myself and am in the process of trying meds lexapro, celexa, Zoloft, and Wellbutrin have not worked for me so far. I see the doc next week so we will see... I too wake up with the worst depression but it goes away in about an hour, like boshogg42 said I think it's the thought of how long the day will be. Then the depression hits back hard at 6-8pm at night. Hang in there! Your doing better than me in the exercise dept.
Zoloft gave me my life back (also did a lot of CBT). I have still had panic attacks on Zoloft (but rarely) and usually I have triggered it by having too much alcohol followed by little sleep - a lethal combination for me. Overall Zoloft has been a Godsend and the only issue I've had is a lack of libido. After in depth discussions with my Dr's I had accepted that Zoloft was part of my life and that was ok.
yes, i was diagnosed with hypoglycemia of some kind, at the doctors office my blood pressure was 70/50 i felt dizzy, its always low, and my resting heart rate is 45 or so , and i do smoke which i think is wierd, i used to exercise a little, plus i also take klonopin and zoloft......
i am in same problm. i have anxiety and depression. was on zoloft for 6months and stopped and after 1.5 yrs that anxiety came back and i found im also pregnt same time. i tried tofranil it didnt work not back to zoloft today is 10 th day ill increase it to 100. i donno of it will work 2nd time or not. my anxiety is so bad that everyday i want to kill myself. i can not shut my eyes without xanax and all day i suffer from severeeeee continuous anxiety . zoloft is safe for pregnancy.
Over the past 4 months, I have tried zoloft, lexapro, celexa, buspar, and now Zoloft again. I was given the 25mg tabs and told to take half (12.5) due to my body is apparently very sensitive to these type of meds. I was taking it at night, but i could not fall asleep. I would be dog tired, but couldnt flip the switch.
i lost my job about six weeks ago, and immediately became and anxious and started having panic attacks. i remember having panic attacks about two and a half years ago, and my doctor started me at 25 mg of zoloft and worked me up to about 150mg in three weeks time. i don't remember exactly how long it took for the anxiety to go away, i think about 5 weeks. this time she put me on 150mg of zoloft immediately.
I refused to rest a day and ended up needing a brace and PT because I continued to exercise. I wash my hands often and use hand lotion immediately---I must do this. My moods are unstable and I become irritated easily, anxious and depressed. I weigh myself often to see if I have lost any weight. I also binge eat now and crave anything salty or sweet.
Hi there. It is my understanding that if you look at the package insert of sertraline/zoloft that the average dose is often quite a bit higher than the starting dose. It takes a higher mg. amount to get an effect for lots of people. So, bumping it is trying to get it to therapeutic levels for you.
Many antidepressants may peter out with time as it sounds like that is what happened with your paxil and may eventually happen with zoloft.
