So my doctor just switched me from Prozac to Zoloft, which, according to nearly everything I've read, can make cramps worse. I've always had very mild menstrual cramps up until a few months ago, when I got the copper iud. Ever since, they've been almost debilitatingly awful. Like, "my innards are being ripped from my body and knitted into a scarf" awful. So I'm kinda freaked out about a medication that could potentially slop more awful on top of that pile of awful. My question is, to anyone who's ever taken Zoloft, does that time of the month get more painful while you're on the meds? What are some ways I can deal with the pain? And has anyone had the copper iud too? Thanks!

Eevee, Have you spoken to the doctor who gave you the iud? I would explore this avenue first. Call you pharmacist and ask what you can take for menstrual cramps while taking Zoloft.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
