zoloft

Avatar m tn I too notice a difference in how I feel taking Zoloft vs. Sertraline. I like Sertraline better though because I don't feel as numbed out and my sex drive is not affected.
Avatar f tn Really struggling at the minute with trying to find the right mes to help my anxiety which then turns into depression sertraline (Zoloft) has made me worst these last 5 weeks of being on it from 50mg to 100mg then 150mg sent me way over had 100mg today and been back to docs he prescribed me 37.
Avatar f tn Just remember that there are side effects with Sertraline (Zoloft) in both the generic and brand name forms especiallly when you start, change doses, or come off of it, but for most people they are not that bad. For example I have more side effects from taking a Claritan than I ever did with Zoloft. As with any medical concerns, always keep an open channel with your doctor to express any of your concerns or questions.
Avatar f tn I take 100mg of sertraline that os apparently safe xoxo
5050843 tn?1362870326 This definitely could be withdrawal from the Zoloft and not the Wellbutrin. Zoloft is an SSRI and Wellbutrin is an atypical antidepressant...it's hard to transition from one drug to another when they're not from the same "family." I did manage to transition from Abilify (an antipsychotic) to Wellbutrin last fall so it can done but it was a rough few weeks. If the symptoms don't seem to be easing up at all you should go back to your doctor.
1910757 tn?1348683319 Thanks so much for the updates. So sorry that the different brand of the Sertraline didn't work for you. Parents can be a challenge. They can come across too strongly in their concern for you, which can just feel overbearing. Just know that my best friend and I have tapered off Effexor more than once each and have never had the bad side effects from going off of it very gradually.
Avatar n tn Yes, I am on Sertraline for anxiety and depression. Zoloft works well for my depression and Xanax helped me for my Panic attacks. Now, I am on lower dose of Zoloft and my symptoms are much better.
Avatar f tn Sertraline(Zoloft) is a antidepressant and are work with the symptoms like depression, panic attacks, anxiety, etc. You can ask for Ambien pills, it good for treating insomnia. Also I recommend you exercise and healthy eating to get quality sleep at night. It works...
Avatar f tn Sertraline is the generic name for Zoloft, which is an antidepressant. It doesn't contain HCG, and it has no effect on a pregnancy test.
Avatar n tn I seem to have twitching that is at least in part related to Zoloft (Sertraline). Upon visiting urgent care when the twitching became really disruptive due to its frequency, the doctor first eliminated any neurological disorders by a panel of six or seven blood tests. You may wish to ask your doctor about these tests, to eliminate your concerns about ALS and other neurological disorders. I was taking 200 mg per day of sertraline -- the maximum dose. I cut that back to 100 mg per day.
Avatar f tn 15 yrs later I had another bout of anxiety and depression and tried it again and it did nothing sadly. Sometimes I wonder abt generic vs brand name bc in college Prizac was brand name and when I tried it 15 yrs later, it had gone generic and the generic didn't work. Don't worry, you did nothing wrong. Sending healing thoughts your way!
1709162 tn?1314084832 I started taking sertraline a week ago. After 5 days of taking it I ended up in hospital with rapid heartbeat adrenaline rushes and chest pain. They kept me in and treated me as a heart attack because of abnormal ecg. I was kept.in overnight and concluded that I was suffering from oesophagul spasms. They have set me up to have a myoview scan as I have had an echo a year ago when I had the same problems which was good. They told my doc to give me nifedipine for the spasms which made me.worse.
13367247 tn?1429640528 Do you mean Sertraline? (brand name: Zoloft). Because a 2 year study showed that people taking it can end up with a false positive for benzodiazepines. See here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
Avatar f tn I have a question. I have been on zoloft for about 3 weeks 25 mg and I have started to notice my right hand shacks...is this a common side effect??
1012810 tn?1260749658 ve been using the generic brand of zoloft (sertraline) for about 6 months now. My doctor started me with the minimum dosage (25 mg) and I am currently up to 100 mg. I didn't have any troubles with 25, 50 or 75 mg. But I had a little bit of gitters and agitation for the first couple of days on 100. That went away though. And I haven't had any problems since. What dosage did your doctor start you at?
Avatar m tn I was prescribed Sertraline (Zoloft) by my doctor. I was told to take half a pill, 25mg. This was a couple months ago. I haven't started taking it yet because I am taking an anti-arrhythmia drug called Pacerone (Amiodarone). I've had two doctors tell me that such a small dose of Zoloft won't interact with Amiodarone. But my other big worry is if it will make my anxiety and panic worse. I've read many posts here where people tried Zoloft and had to stop because it made them worse.
9475243 tn?1405300275 So tomorrow I am to start Sertraline. My psychiatrist said to start slow with it. He gave me 50 mg to break in half and take for a week...my question is is it safe to break the 25 mg in half as well and start even slower? I'm a huge baby when it comes to side effects :( but id take 12.5 my for a week then 25 mg for a week then 50mg then I would see him again. Has anyone ever done this? Thanks. Also share experiences if you like.
Avatar m tn Has anyone tapered Zoloft while in the middle of a benzo taper (but on hold from the taper?) I have been tapering valium since June last year (did crossover from Klonopin/Ashton method) and started Zoloft in June (25mg) and upped it to 50mg in August. I have held the valium taper since August due to diarrhea and decided to taper zoloft but now I am not sure which to taper first. I am at 6.5mg valium down from 12.5mg (was c/t in August also from 9mg and reinstated to 7mg almost immediately).
