Avatar m tn The sex stuff took about 5 weeks to hit me on the prohizzle then went away quickly, after that it seemed to enhance sex. the zoloft had the numb noodle thing going from about day 3 with no end in sight. i am no Dr. but that is my advice. i am very glad to be back on prozac and sleeping again, eating again and you know whating again.

Avatar n tn I had problems returning to Zoloft. I found little to no help in it. I was on it for about 3 years took a year break from it and had to return to it because my anxiety was just too bad. Unfortunately this time was not as relieving. I had increased panic attacks, little to no anxiety relief and all the bad side effects. I no longer had any interest in sex, I gained weight, I rarely felt REALLY happy or REALLY sad. I felt numb.
5255779 tn?1414034937 Has anyone taken Zoloft while Prego.... Im 9wks tomorrow and my dr prescribed it 2wks ago ... I took it for 3 days then decided against it .... Any bad side effects you know of?
11638679 tn?1457985940 i took zoloft a year ago for anxiety. I was on zoloft for almost a year and it just made me feel emotionally numb and i really didn't feel like myself on it, more like a zombie. I felt trapped in my own mind and just wanted to escape and feel like myself again. 7 months later after stopping it and i still feel slightly different.
Avatar f tn ve recently been diagnosed with mixed anxiety/depression, and the zoloft/klonopin combo works for me. i take 2x50mg Zoloft per day, and 1mg Klonopin. Talk to your doctor, and see what he/she has to say about your case. Generally, SSRIs are tricky. For eg., I tried Mirtazipine, Citalopram, Effexor before I found that Zoloft suits me! Best of luck. Oh, and try some CBT as well, it helps :-) take care, now!
Avatar m tn I am not taking any meds but might explore using some antidepressants like Zoloft of Lexipro. I have also had some of the other sypmtoms of anxiety including rubbery legs, nervousness, sweating, face muscles feeling tight. I don't believe I have any organic issues as I have had some screening (MRI of brain, blood work) that did not indicate any issues. Any advice on how to possibly reverse this situatuion would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn ( had blood tests they came bk OK as did X-ray I can't bare it anymore
Avatar f tn I am on 40mg paxil and 20 mg (break tablet) of zoloft. The zoloft makes me feel really anxious and almost like i am going to have a panic attack but the paxil is still working well enough to stop it. I am worried about when I actually wean off of paxil....if i am going to be a panic attacking freak again. argh. I am so scared to wean off. When I have lowered my dose in the past, I started FREAKING OUT and my face went numb, and I cried and screamed and it was ugggly.
968908 tn?1274871115 I have been panic free for 8 months (knock on wood) I did CBT, really good, as for the zoloft, I have open journal here and I talk about it, but basically my first round with Panic attacks, I would not take zoloft (waited 2 yrs) then finally took it, zoloft gave me my life back and helped me to get off xanax (real easy). but then this go around, I tried zoloft and it did the same things as you say it did to you, so I said, NO and stopped at day 5 or 6 also. CBT is great!
Avatar m tn I will try to stop Zoloft today. I forget to mention while using Zoloft I have tic of my lips, which I never had. To my question. Is it normal, has or had anybody the same feelings and symptoms like me, when using Zoloft (above all the feeling of depersonalization and derealization and emotional nembness)? Are they unwanted side-effects or withrawal effects? Is it getting better when you stop to use Zoloft? If yes, when does it improve?
Avatar m tn It really hurts to feel numb towards the person that means absolutely everything to you. She is my whole world and I would die for her. What can I do to make myself feel better? I told her and she’s aware of this, and she is very supportive. I have OCD, Severe Panic Disorder, GAD, Agoraphobia, Hypochondriasis, and god knows what else. I was just put back on Cymbalta 60 mg but I want to go on Zoloft.
4927707 tn?1361144882 Last night fell asleep on the couch woke up at 3am with racing heart however had a numb left arm.....all day today it has been either numb/hurting/tingling/warm. So of course I look online and everything for left arm says "your beat...heart attack". If my arm is still numb/tingling/warm tonight could it just be a pinched nerve or slept on it wrong or is it heart related as i have no other symptoms...except rapid heart beat that comes and goes due to anxiety.
Avatar n tn I tried 50 mg of Zoloft but had severe nausea and anxiety the first day and stopped it. Now my doctor has prescribed 10 mg. of Paxil but I am hesitant to take it since drug interaction warnings and my pharmacist say it could lower my blood pressure too much. I do not want to return to the emergency room or experience the bad side effects again. Any advice? Is it true that SSRIs and beta blockers are not a wise combination? Is there an SSRI that works well with metoprolol tartrate?
Avatar f tn The zoloft really messed with me...my hands felt like they were burning, I felt emotionally numb, and it made me super paranoid...like I had a panic attack over a cell phone ringing. It was horrible. I could have stayed on it longer I guess, to see if that went away, but I just couldn't handle it.
956433 tn?1255977108 i cant tell if this is my anxiety or if there's something wrong but, i feel as if the skin on my penis shaft has gone numb..like as weird as it sounds lol like if i pinch it i don't feel anything, or at least it doesn't hurt..is this normal..i never just randomly pinched it in the past for no reason so i don't know if this is normal..honestly i think this is all in my head, but at the same time i keep questioning myself..
Avatar f tn well the best thing i found was my husband and my mom and dad they help me out every day they always tell me im okay and that i have control of it. And some times yes i do and others no i dont. I know that it is anxiety because it happens to me so much and it changes so if it was something else i would died by now but sometimes it just feels so weird that its hard to think. I hope you feel better and if you need to talk then i am always here. Also do you ever feel numb?
Avatar m tn I think you should talk to your psychiatrist. He/She will know which one it is. For me I felt numb on Zoloft. So my psychiatrist changed it. The Ambien also had an effect on me. You could ask your doc about slow release medication. That way you don't have to take so many.
305180 tn?1279716747 My doc prescribed me Zoloft yesterday to help with anxiety because I cant seem to handle things anymore. My emotions are completely out of whack, I cry very easily, and when I get mad I can literally feel the rage inside of me ready to explode. Has anyone else taken Zoloft while pregnant. My doc says its perfectly safe and wont harm the baby, but I still question it, even though I trust my doc. What do you think?
20632981 tn?1503687567 I"m wanting to stop my Zoloft, been on it for 20 Yrs. And stop my Wellbutrin, that I've been on for 3 weeks, just shy of 2 days. The Zoloft isn't working anymore and the Wellbutrin is making me very sick with dizziness, shaking, headache, and memory loss. My head feels numb. My question is, does Prozac have low side effects like Zoloft but does it work better? And should I be taking a SSRI or SNRI for depression and anxiety, what works better with less side effects?
Avatar f tn I also feel emotionally numb. Not sure if it is from the Zoloft increase 50mg to 100mg. I have an anxiety disorder-OCD. I really would like to try natural methods. Complementary/Alternative medicine.
4502768 tn?1538777982 And to add to it, for a few hours one morning my entire face/neck/throat went completely numb. Im talking lidocaine numb lol in my.opinion its the worst ive tried. Im now on prozac and my cousin also takes it for the same panic disorder. Its been about a week for me and I feel great. Havent needed to touch the xanax (wich barely works too lol) but yeah. If you feel in your gut that its wrong ask your dr. to switch.
