Hi everybody

Hello,
I was on it for about a week. For my OCD. It made me pretty sick tho, so it's not for me. Hopefully it works for you. |

Zoloft is typically used for MDD, but can help OCD. For me I stopped it since it gave me brain fog...for OCD Luvox/Luvox CR is much more effective. Best of luck!

I'm on it along with a few other meds for Schizoaffective/Bipolar. I'm on a low dose because anything more than that makes me manic. It's worked great for me

I've taken sertraline/Zoloft for years, and it does help me. You must take it with food or milk as it can irritate your stomach, and that is why they start you on a low dose. I've had good results with it and never noticed any side effects. If you have any concerns about it be sure to discuss it with your Dr.

I took sertraline for a short period of time. I decided to get off it for my own personal reasons. I never saw a big improvement but I didn't get any bad side effects either. Except weaning off. Horrible dizziness

I was given max dosage zoloft with less effect than almost smallest dosage luvox, But we're all different I guess.
