Common Questions and Answers about Zoloft for anger

zoloft

Avatar n tn Since taking this medication, I have had unusual bouts of anger. I also take Zoloft, could this be an interaction of the 2?
Avatar m tn Has prescribed 25mg of zoloft a day. I have been treated for gerd and acid reflux with no change. I am an Iraq vet withild PTSD and have been fighting every day to maintain my mental stability Dont get me wrong I'm not crazy I just have some anger issues Im terrified if I start this med I may fix one problem and lose my mental stability. That and why would a dr. Prescribe a med that's side effects are partially the same as what he is trying to treat with it.
Avatar f tn I was on Zoloft for depression for about 6 months after trying Prozac, Effexor, and a bunch of different combinations of sedatives, sleep aids, and antipsychotics. I was up to 300 mg, but the side effects, including horrible headaches, insomnia, nightmares, GI upset, and emotional numbness, never went away. I started to taper down with my psychopharmacologist's help. I tapered down to 50 mg, but my psychopharmacologist didn't want me to completely go off of it.
785176 tn?1236416509 I was taking 50mg for the last 3 years. The depression and anger though came for me in my first trimester while I was still on my full dose though - I contributed it mostly to hormones (and the fact that I had severe morning sickness that lasted 24 hours a day 7 days a week until my second trimester). It did pass though - and all is well now, except my main withdrawal symptom is the strange feeling in my head - kinda like dizziness but not and esp. when I turn my head.
Avatar n tn yes, without a doubt.
Avatar f tn m a 23 year old female that was prescribed a 25mg of Zoloft after a bad breakup with a boyfriend around 3 years ago. I was also takine some anti-anxiety medicine and consumed alcohol. About a week in to the drug I started having horrible anger issues which i had never had before in my life which have even gotten violent. I even started blacking out accationally when I got mad. I after three weeks I flushed everything down the toilet and thought I would return back to normal.
Avatar m tn i suffer from manic depression. i have been taking zoloft for 25 yrs. in the last 2 years i have experience sexual side affects. i have never taken wellbutrin. i have heard that it does not have the side affects that long term use of zoloft does. also, the cycle of depression has changed from 4 to 5 days manic and 3 to 4 days depressed to 2 to 3 days manic and 5 to 6 days depressed. have i gotten immuned to zoloft? signed GB in ga.
Avatar f tn I have horrible depression and anxiety that causes mood swings, suicidal thoughts and intense anger. Its not bipolar since its not manic and doesn't go up or down.I used to be a heavy pot smoker which kept it under control. Well I smoked after my first son was born and noticed I got heavily addicted to it. (Bitchy without it and fiending it constantly) My doctor prescribed zoloft but I didn't feel any different and didn't change my mood at all.
1041243 tn?1375230520 It's probably withdrawal from the Zoloft. These need to be tapered off slowly. Although many psychiatrists persist in believing ssris are all alike, they aren't, and one doesn't necessarily substitute for another or stop withdrawal. The proper way to do it, from my understanding, is to slowly withdraw from the drug you're on until you're pretty far down and then slowly start substituting the new med.
Avatar n tn you are angry, tired of trying to act like you give a ****, because you work too hard for too many hours of the day to try to make end's meet? Its just so overwhelming. You can't talk to your spouse, because she is a large, if not the largest part of your feelings? But you love her. You're just annoyed. When you say something, it begins an argument. You try not to get defensive when things are said to you, but you are just so full of pent-up anger and animosity at the world.
Avatar m tn Hi. I am taking 100mg of Zoloft for mild depression and irritability. I had loved it apart from the sexual side effects. Wish to God there was an SSRI without those side effects. I had been feeling happier, more focused, and even had more energy. But... in the past month I have been increasingly angry. Wondering if anyone experiences the drug wearing off throughout the day. Seems like I get irritable at night. Thanks for your input.

Avatar f tn I met with the DR today where I go to counseling. She is starting me on zoloft for mild depression and anxiety. Anyone have any info on taking this during treatment? She said I'd be fine taking during tx but wanted to hear from everyone here. Also she said this might help with sleep but probably not. Has anyone noticed it helping with sleep? The other med she is considering which helps with mild depression, sleep but not so much anxiety is trazadone.
Avatar f tn Hello everyone. I have been clean for 16 days from norcos.. 30 months from Methamphetamines. I recently (2 weeks ago) started taking zoloft for anxiety from the w/d's. In the beginning I felt so great.. but now.. not so much. I feel so depressed.. quick to anger just like I was before I started taking zoloft. Do you think that the w/d's are just getting the best of me and I need to up my doseage of zoloft? Or am I just getting used to it? ]= I feel like a mess! Thank you.
Avatar f tn My five year old son was diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, ODD and Anxiety last year after he was BAKER ACTED for saying he wanted to kill himself. They started and currently have him taking Zoloft 25mg and Metadate 10mg, they are not working. When he takes the two together whether at the same time or at separate hours he is worse off then when we started. It seems like they counter act each other.
Avatar f tn But the point is that it does take trial and error to find what works best - so do let your doctor know what is going on1 Now if you are talking about a med for his anger management - I would assume that your doc has told you that Zoloft will take anywhere from a couple of days to a month to work. http://www.crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Meds/Zoloft I think/hope that once he hits the right time period/amount of meds that he/you will notice a difference.
Avatar n tn I was taking Wellbutrin SR 300 mg for a number of years and then within the past couple of years it was inadvertently changed to XI. Could this be the reason for my anger changes a couple of years ago and is Lexapro really the solution? Thank you for any guidance you can give me.
Avatar f tn My husband was on Zoloft a few years ago,it didn't work for him,but that doesn't mean it won't work for you.I can remember his doctor telling us he would need to be on it for 2 weeks before he would really be able to feel whether it was working for him or not.I think the important thing is to keep good communication with your doctor and if the medication is not helping you the way you wish to be helped by it let him/her know as soon as possible.
862255 tn?1242753439 my boyfriend has been struggling with excessive anger issues since he was young he has been in therapy and he is on Zoloft. Despite the fact he is gifted and a Graphic Designer he has violent mood swings an he has been very antisocial for sometime before we've met. sometimes for months he will be fine no arguing,nit picking or insomnia or any type of moody behavior. Then when I least expect it the most ridiculous and simple problem will make him explode.
Avatar n tn I have been taken zoloft for about a year in half now, i recently found out i was pregnant and i had asked my doctors if i could still continue the medicine with no harm to my baby, i was told yes but a few weeks after this i hear of a nation wide lawsuite against the company who made zoloft because of birth defects, now when i looked further into this doctors were already notified months ago of the side effects its causes in pregnant woman, i was very upset about this, i stoppped taken my zolof
Avatar n tn How long did you take Zoloft?
Avatar f tn Yes, at first, Adderrall was a miracle. Prozac was prescribed for his anger-- as anger is a sign of depression. It doesn't really affect him so much as it makes him sleepy so he takes it at night. One thing you have to realize about Adderrall is that it is an amphetamine, i.e. SPEED. I bet the rage happens when he starts "coming down" or it's wearing off? Afterwards, does he start eating lots of sweets, does he start sleeping alot for several days?
709686 tn?1277432159 While I can tell a big difference in my anxiety and anger I have had several other side effects that caught me off guard. The worst issue for me has been painful constipation...and I do mean painful. Not meaning to be gross...but during one stretch I went 7 days without a movement so I began taking an over-the-counter laxative called Colace which helped a little. I do think things are starting to return to normal ever so slowly.
Avatar f tn In re-reading the study, I see that it looked at just 4 new-generation ADs--Prozac, Effexor, Serzone, and Paxil. The authors used the freedom of information act to obtain ALL studies of the medications from the FDA (it says that most drug companies only publish information from successful studies). In fact, it seems that the main impetus here is to examine reporting bias, not drug efficacy.
