So I had my pdoc app today. I survived the blood test and all. I was dreading it.

Anyways I was just put on Zoloft to replace my pristiq. I was wondering everyone else's experiences on it. I'm hoping I've found something that works.

Zoloft works ok for me. My worst side effect is total lack of interest in sex. Then it makes me tired, so I take it at night. But other than those it works ok.

BP-1 since,,,, well ever. But diagnosed 2002

Yikes. Now I'm afraid to take it. I hope I don't have a bad experience.

Well...it worked very well for my depression at least! Too well. Lol. You'll be okay. If you have bad side effects from it you can stop taking it.

I used to take zoloft as monotherapy. I married someone after knowing them a week and then proceeded to rapid cycle my way through the year...but did help a lot with anxiety! and hey, I'm still married more than a year later, so it couldn't have been that bad I did have a terrible time getting off of it, experienced withdrawal symptoms (dizziness and head-zaps) for months. I'm really sensitive to meds though and I think this is common to basically all psychoactive drugs.
