I noticed a difference about week 2. It's a beautiful thing. My anxiety is non existent. My kids are happier because they notice I'm happier. Little things that used to be big things got me in a idgaf mood.
Had severe head aches, no appetite and sleep way better, and I have the shakes BAD!
Lakiela Manning I'm so scared but I need to start some type of medication has this (zoloft) been helping you ?
How many mg did you take?
@@vanessavillanueva0162 100% I'm sorry for responding so late, but the Zoloft has helped me so much I can even explain. All of my symptoms went away around d the 3 month mark, and another change which was subtle was the marked difference in my mood changes, like from irritable to happy. One mistake I've made was stopping this medication cold Turkey. It was not an immediate reaction but when it hit about a week off the meds it was horrible! Debilitating headaches, emotional rollercoaster rides all day long. Not good at all, so dont try it PLEASEPLEASE!!
@@tombrown9992 I take 50 mg for about 1 1/2 years now.

I experience the jaw clenching. But I actually started breathing better and my mood felt more stable almost instantly.
I didnt realise I was clenching my jaw until I read this. Lol just realised how much my jaw aches
My anxiety caused me to constantly clench my jaw before I even started taking sertraline, so I can't tell if it is making me clench it more or not really.
I have had breathing problems for 2 months, docter said I had anxiety so he's prescribed me sertraline
@Brèagha no, it actually made me wanna kill myself after 4 days... Just stick with breathing excersizes, I'm not knocking it, but if your symptoms are like mine... Only breathing then I don't think it's the one for me

Take care sweetheart and thank you for being so brave and showing this.
Thanks for sharing and being so transparent about your experience
Omg all the symptoms, specifically the urination symptom... it’s been really weird. But overall my irritability has gone down to almost non-existent. Thank you for this video!
I stated Zoloft about 2 weeks ago and I noticed it working on day 5 for anxiety. I also don’t have much of an appetite either. I’m also now noticing muscle spasms so I’m not sure why that is? And also having harder time sleeping. My mood is better but I don’t like the muscle spasms or insomnia...
It's funny you mentioned yawning because of all the side effects you mentioned, yawning all the god damn day was the only thing that happened to me but only at the very beginning. However, two months into Z and I'm no longer yawning. My mood has been fantastic. The creators of this magic pill deserve a Nobel Prize.
I have been yawning and my jaw clenching. today is day 3.
@@bettinaorevil5056 Brace yourself for a few more days or weeks of yawning and it will go away. I hope Z works for you as it has for me. Have a nice weekend.
I feel the same way this girl does depression is something you dont mess with.there was times i didnt want to be around people or see people and i still do it.and noone knows what its like to go through this and be happy one day and sad the next
thanks for sharing your story on Zoloft I just started two days ago as well it seems like it's making my anxiety worse way worse again i appreciate your video
My anxiety went from a 50 to 100 and I’m scared to take my 3rd pill... thanks for letting me know it’s not just me who’s having this side effect. I know this med works for me cuz I’ve been on it before but I didn’t have this side effect the first time I was on it. Hope it goes away ASAP!

Hi Nici no problem,
Anxiety and depression are horrible can we start taking meds to fix it and it makes it worse it just seems like what the heck do we do, they always say it takes 4 to 6 weeks to kick in but wants to suffer for that long sometimes I pray you get on the right medicine
@@kent7525 how are you feeling now.. did your medicine work for you and after how long?
@@ahmedfraz8324
Thank God I was able to come off all medicines eating a very vegan Clean Diet getting good exercise still have bouts of depression Iam they able to deal with it.
Diet and exercise are very important, I've cut out all processed foods I eat no sugar except for fruit, no Dairy, I'm able to sleep much better in the anxiety and depression I've gotten much better.
Ask God to free you from bondage to these meds they are horrible for some people.
Hi Asher, thank you posting your video much appreciated. Best of Luck
I have the exact situation. Got short fuse, can't seem to stop thinking what makes me angry. I have been prescribed sertraline 50 mg but I am experiencing side effects like weakness which kinda puts me to the bed most of the time and peeing is another dilemma because I can't seem to stop it, funny stomach. Going through a rough Sertraline cycle
Thanks for being completely honest AND through
I had really bad migraines during the first month. And also some vertigo... those were the only two things I felt.
Yeah, "my issues are still my issues"... and therapy is absolutely essential! I second that!
I just started my increase ine week ago at 50mg. Headaches are everyday:(. How long did it last for you
Before taking Zoloft I was servely depressed and over ate after a month I feel wonderful and I eat less so Im loving it
Omg same !! Just started happening

U recover?
I love this video, I COMPLETELY AGREE with all you are saying and how this makes you feel. I resemble a lot of the same symptoms as you and I am on day 6 of sertraline. Feeling neutral. Ya know. I’d love to chat with you!!
Brooke Dickey hey! how things are going since it’s your 2nd week? :)
@@m.xhdd.x she died
Brighter excuse me
Thank you for a very insightful video. I’m currently dealing with health issues and depression is one of them. It’s been suggested by my doctor to take antidepressants but I have been very skeptical. This video helped.
I’m worried about the side effects.
Low to no sex drive
Insomnia
Suicidal thoughts
Weight gain
Zombie
Dependence
Etc
I'm having the exactly same side effects you have stated besides suicidal thoughts. Did you try the medication? And if so, may I ask if it has been improved over some time?
4th day on it.. taking in daytime is hard. i was told by doc to take morning but today i decided to take at night and see how i sleep.. a lot of trauma as a kid and just now at 34 going to therapy. Wishing u best of luck.. hope you are happy now.
How did you sleep that night
Im on day 4 almost 5 of Zoloft. I take it for severe depression , I have anxiety and ocd and I’ve been tired , and recently I’ve noticed I’ve had tremors , I feel shaky and I woke myself up with a couple of brain zaps which I did not like. I’m hoping it passes, so watching videos like this is very helpful makes me feel less alone.
Did it work for you?
Just started on my second day 25 mg already improvement in anxiety levels, breathing better, better mood . First night was a little hard to sleep and a little Abdominal bloating but that’s it for side effects.
Any updates? Are you still taking it?
I had sweaty hands, loss of appetite, restless legs, twitching in my fingers, lots of yawning and stretching.
Yawning was same with me. But I will live with that over the depression.
Yawing is insane
Hi from sweden. Do you take The meds how muth, whath you begining on ,how long time and Do you felling beter? I started this meds im so tired. Ned some fedback.
I've been on 100mgs for 4weeks now for social anxiety disorder and depression it seems to be working I just have to motivate and push myself to do things.... The jaw clenching was pretty bad for me... I had pretty much all the symptoms you said it goes away tho at least for me. Make sure you drink enough water..
Effet secondaire sexuel?
I’ve been on this for 6 days now after being on fluoxetine for a year . Not sure I’ve noticed any change except for less tired in the Morning and more active . Minds still the same etc ... however they say 4-6 weeks before you notice change . Maybe it’s just me but I find it hard to believe they work within a few days ????
I'm on day 5 of Sertraline and it has made a massive improvement for me. Used to have hundreds of thoughts a day coupled with constant mental interruptions about what I should be doing. I had repeating mania highs and depressive lows. My last 4 days have been, as you say, neutral. It's so nice to have quiet in my head and the ability to look at my list of tasks without getting worked up over them. Infact, some tasks are going to be dropped which is unheard of for me.
Bob Beattie can you describe your mania high?
@@Gabilai92 Sure. My symptoms were: having a tremendous amount of energy focused into a subject. It would either be a design problem that needed fixing or the opportunity to enhance some process or even simply an idea "that I should research to my fullest abilities". I didn't consider any of those things as irrational even if other people didn't want to know, were'nt interested and the outcome did not benefit me personally or wasn't related directly to my professional work at the time. (I used to work at Nokia R&D. Lots of problems to fix, lots of clever people, so I was happy as a bug in a rug.) My doctor told me, my excited state of mind was a counter effect to my depression (frustration) caused by working with people in a high tech environment who, themselves, were not tech minded. Sertraline has helped me keep a neutral state of mind which has its pros/cons: I don't get upset now nor do I get excited. eg I'm back in work part time. A friend asked if I was excited to get back into new tech projects. No, because I don't feel that emotion anymore, but at the same time I'm no longer suffering from the anxiety caused by my burning irrational need to learn everything in the universe. (I still have my to-do list, but nothing has been added to it for over 3 months now and I'm not concerned I'm not progressing through it quickly or at all.) I will share one more observation: when I do sense the onset of a "super idea"/"mania moment", my brain stalls. Much like a car engine. It is a very strange feeling indeed. I should point out I still read and study and learn, I just don't get carried away with things now. It's all thumbs up. :)
I should point out, it wasn't Nokia I had problems with. Nokia was THE best place I've ever worked at.
Big fart I have the exact symptoms , Ive been thinking about starting a anti depressant, I cant do anything normal, I have to fibd out what date Ive gotten my belongings, oh wait I know all ready got everything written down. People places exact memories.
@@cduby1424 Speak to your doctor about all this. Mine has been very supportive and was not shocked in the slightest with my description of my problems. It took a little time to find the right amount to take; too much turns me into a zombie, too little and I'm back on the rollercoaster of mania/depression. I am now taking 50mg every 2nd day (one day on, one day off) and it is just right for me.
My chest pain is crazy it’s made me more anxious.. but I know it takes a few weeks to fully work
Currently having the same. Definitely seems like its chilled out a little. Was on 50mg for about 6 years. Day 7 of upping dose to 100mg.
Thanks for the video. Nice info.
I liked this video thank you for that. Have you got another one for the 2nd week plese?
So many different stories and experiences! These drugs are very unpredictable! I took Celexa and Zoloft many years ago for about 6 months each. I remember all the negative symptoms but none of the positive ones! There were no positive ones! I'm 100% drug free every day except I have a coffee or soda here or there. I'm treating myself with exercise, spiritual meditation, prayer, sunshine, vitamins, sleep and social connections!
I am on day 4 of sertraline. I have had no real side effects except for jaw clenching & i feel like im trembling at times, but im not actually trembling, it just feels like it. I cant stop urinating. I must urinate every 30 minutes. Even during the night i wake up about 3-4 times a night to go to the toilet. I take my sertraline at 8am & i am wide awake all day. I also take quetiapine at night which helps me sleep very well, otherwise i dont think i could sleep. Taking the sertraline is like being on amphetamines. I noticed at about the 8 minute mark you seemed very high & rambling. It has been doing that to me aswell. I feel ok. It seems like there is a light at the end of the dark, foggy, depressing tunnel. 🇦🇺
Hey I know I’m a little late on this video but i started sertraline 50 mg two weeks ago. Not on it for depression but for irritability and OCD. I got the initial serotonin high followed by a little nausea the first couple days even when I cut the pills in half but they told me it takes several weeks to start working.
How are you feeling now.. did your medicine work for you and after how long?
How are you doing lately?? I started on Sertraline last night! 50mg but starting with half a pill for 14 days. I woke up this morning with irritation and I tried looking at my phone and it was blurry asf. Now I don't wear contacts or glasses so it freaked me the heck out! I'm glad I got help and started. Not looking forward to these symptoms however I know I'll get through it.
I can't wait to get my stuff together and get a job again. I've lost all motivation to do anything.
Hey, how do u feel? I started sertraline 6 days ago, and so many side effects occurred... nausea, diarrhoea, loss of sleep, but my doctor says it'll go away within next few days🤞
I’m going to start mine today 25 mg also I’m Muslim so praying 5 times a day is so relaxing, having a relationship with your creator helps so much kind of like a meditation. Try it especially if you feel doomed or lonely getting outside in nature is important too. I hope you feel better
What’s the best time to take Z to avoid side effects?
I just started Sertraline a week and half ago and I have gotten some heavy headedness and yawning alot, vivid dreams, and some bits of light nausea.
How are you feeling now.. did your medicine work for you and after how long?
@@ahmedfraz8324 How are you ? Is the medication working for you ?
Hi;Are you still taking them? How are you doing?..Regards Lisa.
great video.
Those side effects sound terrifying. I hope you're okay.
Same dose here. Started with some diarrhea for a month or so. Also jaw clenching. That all went away. My peeing is a weak stream, still. Drinking more water has fixed that. Today, I am so much better off mentally than before. Socially confident. Bulletproof. Love it.
After how long you begin to see improvement.. i am taking it for 4 weeks now but there is no improvement yet
@@ahmedfraz8324 I would say a bit longer than that. It came to me subtly. Not like a light switch, where I went from submersed and anxious to waking up one day not. It's more like a couple/few months into it I had to actually try and recall why I started the regime in the first place. I was out of the dark and interacting -- more important, looking forward to interacting -- with people. I'm now about 30-mos into it on a relatively low dose (50mg). I feel normal and am able to easily eschew the types of negative thoughts that used to consume my day. As I said, I look back now as if that's a different person someone else told me about. Good luck on your journey to this side.
Sad music makes me happy
I stopped after day 1, the migraines and vomiting after 1, 50mg tablet was too much to continue :(
I got diarrhea, yawning alot, I feel more tired around 10pm, I feel a lot happier, dry mouth though
Today was day 1 for me on 50mg. Honestly don’t feel any difference. No side effects what so ever. No headaches, no dizzy, not tired. I feel fine. I guess the only thing I noticed was my appetite, I barely ate today and I’m still not hungry.
I’ll check back in a couple days to update how I feel !
Yeah V what about now? I just started taking them yesterday.
@@HolteEnder85 how are you feeling now.. did your medicine work for you and after how long?

Hmm i have been setraline almost a year !! You should take it in mornings zoloft same tume everyday try not skip you might get panic attack or disturbed !!
After how long you begin to see improvement.. i am taking it for 4 weeks now but there is no improvement yet
I’m on day 4 I feel dizzy and tired and brain fog
I'm with you on still needing to get to the root of our problems. Fix them. Then taper off the drugs.
I have the worst symptoms on 50mg of sertraline. It’s my 5th day and I have horrendous nausea and have been sick every day at least once, constant shaking/feeling cold and not being able to eat at all ( haven’t eaten in 3 days)
I’m taking anti nausea tablets which have helped with the nausea and food intake
Josie Knott Youre not alone!! Day 1 here. Hang in there! I know its hard
Josie Knott hi what anti nausea medication helped?
Update please? Are you still taking it?
Is that tattoo in your wrist a ";" ? I wanna get one of those as well
Felipe Zamora no its an ace of hearts tat
The excessive yawning will subside. I had a lost of appetite as well. Which I did NOT need. But I am gaining weight.
Porter Shabazz I’m starting Sertraline, I’ve been on it for 3 days now and my hunger has peaked. With anti depressants, there will be rapid hunger change, which if you do eat you will gain weight.
I’ve researched that the average weight gain is 10lbs.
Thank you, I've just been prescribed 50 mg a day and I am nervous af. I don't want to get any lower than I am right now.
Nubian Kush Hi....just been prescribed today 17/7/18
Have been on others in past but tired herbal path for 4 weeks...however I got so depressed and the apathy was really bad and family is suffering and I am numb and dont see it.
Am scared about the side effects and how long it will take to work.
I hope it is all going well for you x
Hi Bec, I've been on it nearly a month and to be honest I feel no effects yet. I'm aware it takes 6-8 to get into your system and become effective. I feel my doctor will prescribe a higher dose.
The only side effects I have had so far is slight nausea. Nothing unbearable and it's seem to be passing now.
I'm still optimistic and despite my initial fears everything is going okay so far.
I wish you all the luck, and hope this is the start of something new for you.
I’ve been clinching my jaw as well so crazy I have this eye thing with one of my eyes idk
Just came across your Zoloft video by accident. But that's a good thing because lam just starting a new antidepressant called Trintillex. Iam very sensitive to medications. And they leave me with tons of side effects. So far so good. But!.......
I want to know how your doing, Are you still on Zoloft. Tried it but had insomnia couldn't sleep for over 3 weeks had to stop it. Good luck!
Hope you're having a better life. Jl

Hi! Im still on zoloft and doing really well! Wish you the best x
Depression is something that is possible to overcome. I suffered from extreme depression from the age of 7 to 27. This might sound crazy, but one way to help beat depression is to constantly think about what you can be thankful for in life. It could be the smallest of things like being thankful for having fingers, having 2 legs, being able to see and hear, having clothes, shelter, etc. The process takes time but it changes your way of thinking. It creates a mental habit of optimism.
Jordan Jay , I tried that and I have tons of things to be thankful for yet none of that helps because Im always dwelling on the negative and some are just insignificant BS and then the anxiety kicks in , sometimes I go to bed in a high anxiety mood and it takes some time to fall asleep and once asleep I wake up Ann then I wake up and almost immediately I think of something that gets my anxiety going. That’s not every evening or morning though, I couldn’t imagine having the feeling more often.
Beautiful advice Jordan. Bless you from Mary xx
I started 5 days ago, I am feeling kind of drowsy and still pretty anxious. That supposed to go away?
It should in 2 weeks
2 weeks and anxiety was mostly gone for me at 150mg
Ssri's like zoloft will not do anything within days. It slowly increases the amount of serotonin in the synapse available for your neurons to utilise when it needs to send a signal. Dose with clinical depression show evidence for a lack of serotonin or a lack of sensitivity for serotonin. If the drug worked within days it would increase the amount of serotonin too fast and you'll suffer serotonin syndrome. Mental illness is greatly subject to plasibo... After all it's a mental illness. Don't allow yourself to perceive changes and just let them happen because if it's a placebo for you than you'll loose trust in the medications once that placebo is no longer In place and all it takes is someone telling it doesn't work. If you read this and your symptoms return... See your doctor and try an snri as that increases dopamine levels which is more link to depression.
Plus for some folks it simply doesn't work.
@@bencrossley9532 of course hense why there are many ssris and so on so it covers a vast amount of people and their unit metabolism. Dw doctors have thought about this and studied it extensively and continue to.
i’m on my fifth day and i’m worried it’s not working because i feel like my anxiety got a whole lot worse and i’m not sure if that’s normal
Did ya keep up with it? First 2 weeks makes anxiety worse, starting at week 6 your anxiety will drop a lot.
This is happening to me too, glad I’m not alone
Day 5 and I feel very tired/dizzy and weak like no energy and i'm having more anxiety than I did when I started I'm currently on 25mg I hope it goes away!!!
They say your anxiety and depression can actually worsen in the very beginning before it gets better. I started taking this medicine 2 days ago. Do you have an update? Did it end up working for you? Hope all is well.
Background track please?????
My anxiety sky rocketed still is, almost a week in. Can barely sleep, eat, think about anything other than bad thoughts. Hoping it's just the meds. Almost unbearable.
How about now
Today is day one for me , I took my first dose at around 3 pm this afternoon, I watched a few videos like this and the side effects alone has me in a panic, I want to get better but all the videos I watched so far the person looked sort of out there . I hope this drug will be worth it in the end . Everyone reacts differently so only time will tell.
Well I took the Zoloft for 4 days and abruptly quit , I was also on Wellbutrin for over 2 months to help me quit smoking, I quit both on Monday because I was afraid of the bad side effects , the only thing I liked about Zoloft was that it made me feel emotionless , even if I thought about something that makes me sad or I listen to sad music I don’t feel sad happy or anything. I just need to follow the advice of the old days and that’s to snap out of it . I hardly listen to music and I try to stay off social media and all the bad hateful shit it spreads .
I’m the same. I’m on day 4, I feel like a zombie. The best way to describe it is if you’ve ever had a migraine with aura and feel like you’re sobering up when you’re coming round from it. Also my appetite is gone, I’ve barely eaten. I’ve been in bed all weekend snoozing. I never did this with anxiety, it feels like a step backward. I used to manage it through exercise, but work has been intense and my anxiety sky high.

@@michcookies update on Zoloft pls?
The clench, trouble pissing, appetite, tremor. I'm a smoker myself. I got all of that but the overnight change from 5 cigs a day to a pack.......it feels like I dropped acid 15 minutes ago for the past 5 days......😂
Kind of interesting.
I know what you mean about the acid dropping feeling. Like my head felt so strange across the first few days, pretty much exactly like pre trip head 😂 been on 8 days now and that side effect wore off.
I just finished my first week. I haven’t really noticed any side-effects besides maybe a reduced appetite. I haven’t noticed any positive effects of the drug either, which is understandable since it’s only been a week. It has given me a renewed hope that maybe I can get through this after all and that definitely counts for something. I’m excited for it to begin working though. I used to be such a motivated person.
Thanks for sharing. How are you feeling now?
@@ezfist9204 I was only on 8MG for the first month, then she kicked it up to 25MG and I’ve stayed there since. I’ve thought about trying 50MG for a month and seeing what happens but I think I’m good here for now. It seems to be doing something but I’m not sure how much. It sounds a little dramatic, but it’s been so long since I’ve experienced what “normal” is that I don’t think I’d even realize if I was normal. I do feel like I’m overall less depressed and I’ve definitely been more motivated lately though.
I have a very flexible work schedule so I can basically work as little as two hours a day, which is what I was doing for awhile because of the depression, but lately I’ve been putting in a full day’s work. My sleep schedule has normalized for the most part and I feel like I’ve been putting more effort into lifting weights than I was before I started the Zoloft. I haven’t had any adverse effects. Overall it’s been a pretty good experience.
You aren't alone
I take it for mild social anxiety and obsessive autistic routines. I started at 25mg. I got annoying headaches and felt a little sick. I don't have depression so my dose is lower at 25mg to later 50mg. I struggled to urinate too at first.
After how long you begin to see improvement.. i am taking it for 4 weeks now but there is no improvement yet
@@ahmedfraz8324 I stopped taking them to be honest. But they started working better at 50 mg after a few weeks. I took citalopram after that at 10 mg. That worked too but again after a few weeks. To be honest, I stopped taking them because I only needed them for occasional anxiety. So I never needed them to begin with. I keep a box of prescribed beta-blockers now. Only take them 30 mins before doing something stressful like going to a very crowded wedding, job interview and etc. But that's like once or twice a month.
I have been yawning and my jaw clenching. today is day 3.
My greatest fear is worsening insomnia with sertralin wich leads to increased nervousness and irritability.
Take it n the morning
Ive just started lexapro.
It’s only my first day on zoloft. I’m yawning 24/7! Also I usually have an easy time falling asleep but here I am watching your video at 1:30AM. I’m tired but can’t sleep. I’ve experienced a dull headache throughout the day too. Also my stomach feels empty but I don’t want to go anywhere near food. I just have no desire for it. I know it sounds crazy cause it’s only day one but the side effects are definitely real.
It is happening the same to me,too. First day today, I took it at morning as the doctor told me, and I could not eat the whole meal and I love food. My boyfriend bought me a bag full of my favourites biscuits and I ate two but I did not enjoy them.
Update please?
@@natalievillanueva5387 Okay so I’m not going to tell anyone what they should and shouldn’t take because everyone is different… but for me taking Zoloft was the biggest mistake of my life as it made me extremely suicidal and even manic. I was never able to sleep on this medication and constantly thought suicidal thoughts. It made me impulsive as well and I was saying and doing things that I never would have previously done. Again, this is just me and everyone is different but I had better luck with Cymbalta and even Buspirone for my anxiety or just not taking meds at all. All antidepressants I took kept me awake at night and gave me restless leg syndrome. I know many people who do take antidepressants and do well. All i can say is try it but with caution. Let others know how you are feeling and how its affecting you. Don’t keep it to yourself like I did. Good luck!!
@@mollyg2323 did you sleep well after stopping it?
@@natalievillanueva5387 After years of anxiety and depression I finally made the decision to start Zoloft. I’m on day 3 of taking half a dose, which is 25 ml and then at day 14 I take 50 ml. So far so good. I’ve had a few small side effects but nothing too crazy. I have a 10 and 12 year old and a 9 month old to take care of so it’s been challenging but I know it will get better, as it takes awhile to feel the full effect. So far it’s been the best decision I’ve made in a very long time. But it’s definitely not for everyone since every body is different. Good luck
My side effects have been (at first) constipation, kind of like your problem peeing. Now, the worst side effects I have are low libido, E.D., and really REALLY stinky farts!
My farts smell toxic, like paint at an auto body shop, I have no fucking idea why.
@@ziggymorris8760 I got off of it for while and experimented with other types and this time around the farts aren't ASS bad. Occasionally I'll still get them, but I also switched my timing to be around lunchtime, thus padding my stomach as well as I was having the problem with oversleeping CONSTANTLY for work when I took it at bedtime. However, "Sunk Ass", or "Zoloft Farts" do that their advantages when you KNOW it's going to be a bad one and you don't like someone! LOL! I still get a chuckle out of the time I farted and ran my WIFE out of the tiny kitchen in our old apartment!
hrdknox2000 dam bro what do you eat that makes you fart stinky?? Lol 😂 That doesn’t happen to me because I really never fart and I’m on Sertraline 100mg.
It made my son go completely crazy after years of use. Attempted suicide multiple times. Went seriously manic. Almost killed his brother. Ducking poison. Insomnia for years after discontinuation
Hope your son is better now Kim
Mental health runs in my family, I am diagnosed with depression and anxiety and take Zoloft ( 75mg) all the side effects you are displaying is common with Zoloft 😊😆
bella if strong mental health runs in your family, how did you get diagnosed with anxiety and depression if mental health runs in your family ?
honeydewbunson maybe Bella means mental health issues run in her family
Hi how u doing nowadays how is your mental.condition
Thanks
I’ve been prescribed them but I’m scared, I just can’t bring myself to take them
I'm the same 😔
Same. I was prescribed 25mg 4 months ago and can’t get myself to take them. Every time I have a panic attack at night I tell myself tomorrow you’re starting the pills but can’t get myself to do it.
It is not a big issue… you can just try or a few months. The side effects are not too bad. Some lorazepam can help to alleviate it. Yawning, peeing etc is all not that bad of an issue.
@@arjanpetersen I binned them mate, never took them
@@Jon-yx3xc that’s a shame. Perhapss they could have helped you
I have jawclinching since a week.
Thank you for this. I was just prescribed 50 mg of Zoloft. This is my 5th antidepressant that I am trying and having gone through so many I’ve lost a lot of hope that any pill will at least somewhat work. This video has made me feel optimistic and gives me strength to push through the side effects. Hope you’re doing well❤️
So, did it work for you eventually? Cuz this will be my 3rd
开花 Kai Hua yes!! Finally something that actually worked. At first I had some side effects like feeling like I was starving, shivering, feeling like I was going to pass out occasionally, and overall just feeling like shit for the first week. I got over it and it has worked wonders. I’m not saying that everyday is rainbows and sunshine but I can say that I am genuinely happy with life and honestly never thought that I’d be able to say that again after what I had been through. Though everyone’s bodies react differently to different medications, Zoloft has worked for me and I can honestly say it saved my life. I hope it helps you as well
@@Brooke-sp1qx wow the side effects you described are EXACTLY the same for my first week rn. Is Lexapro something you've tried?
开花 Kai Hua I have not tried lexapro. The medications I tried before Zoloft was Paxil, Prozac, Amitriptyline, Wellbutrin, and now Zoloft. I was also prescribed propanolol and hydroxyzine for sleep and panic attacks to take when needed. I’m not a fan of taking pills so I’m now just taking Zoloft and I have CBD gummies that help when I’m anxious. Though the first week is always hell when starting an antidepressant, do you think it’s helping or think it’s going to work when the side effects pass? And just wondering, how old are you? Because I know these medications work differently for different ages. I’m 18
@@Brooke-sp1qx Me too, I turned 18 today!🎉🎉 I was only on Prozac for a week and it made me nauseous so my doc changed to Lexapro right away, managed for a month, seemed to be nice but made me take too many naps, so byebye and now Zoloft! So.. I'm not quite sure if Zoloft will be the last one I'll try. And I have propranolol for social anxiety too!
None of these side effects are familiar to me I just laugh alot thats all I feel detoxified
It took 4-6 weeks at my side to see really positive effects. You cant see any effects in a few days.
Last week my Shrink putted my dosis higher. I was at 75mg, and i need to go to 150mg. Last few weeks, there are really days which i am feeling really good. People who think they got worser from Anti-Depressivia/Zoloft, those shouldnt have anti-depresivia in the first place. My shrink told me that home doctors give out easily anti-depressivia when its not needed. Normally they give these when a person mild or heavily depressive and have suicidal thoughs.
Did anyone feel like “slow” and sore
You totally changed personality from your first day. I was getting annoyed with ur bitchy whinning personality but then you became cheerful.I have been depressed for about a decade. Went o a psychiatrist yesterday and I just took my first dose of Sertraline today. I hope it helps.
Happy to know SSRI meds are helping some But it's not for me it makes my Anxiety 10× worse and lowers my sex drive which makes me panic
Are you still taking Sertraline?
Any updates?
You’re suppose to use 25mg for 7 days then bump up to 50mg afterwards
Not really, the recommended dose is 50mg but some people start 25mg
Iv been on sertraline for 8 years now 200mg for my short temper I don't get that now thank god 😅 🙏
My doctor said to cut the pills in half for the first week
Today is my first day and I was told to do that
Smart. I feel starting at 50 mg is stupid, I’m on 25 mg just started feels like plenty for now.
Any updates? How’s it going?
You are like me, a very overactive brain that stresses the body out which leads to adrenal fatigue which causes the irritability.
Adrenal fatigue is why people start drinking a ton for coffee, because they lack the adrenaline to give them the boost. The problem only gets worse adding caffeine to an already stressed out body because it can create terrible insomnia.
that makes so much sense!!! i was wondering why im always so tired and tire so quickly. small tasks wear me out physically to the point that i have to lay down and cool off after
I'm still ugly and living at home
8.18 look noticeably out of it.
Anyone else get super nauseous?
That’s weird . Zoloft takes 40 ish days to begin working. I’m pretty sure it’s all
In your head
agree. Tomorrow i am on the start of the 3th week with 75mg Setraline, and i still dont see much effects and take atleast several weeks to get effect (atleast that i had with Citalopram)
It could be all in her head or could've been because that was over a year ago when she posted this, I think. But my doctor told me that it could work instantly because of the rush of serotonin. I think every single person has a different reaction. I notice people who research the medication and read and watch reviews, tend to overthink the whole process.
honeydewbunson not true lol it works different for everyone especially depending on how many mgs you consume. 4-8 hours , a week, two weeks.
Search "PSSD" on Google !.
Am on day 2 been so dizzy and faint 🙁🙁🙁🙁
Are you better?
Update please? Are you still taking it?
pretty girl
You make cry pff
I am on 200mg... :/
How is it?
I have the same fucking cup
I CANT FUCKIN SLEEP I usually sleep like baby and I nap and I love sleep so much but I can’t go to sleep and I wake up at 5am everyday
Yes I've been going to bed at 930 Up at 330 or 4 am that is not me at all! Did symptom go away?
@@justjulie45Tat least you get 6 hour sleep
I can't take this drug scared of the side effects.
Same, i was given them today but I'm scared of the side effects
It's not the worst SSRI for side effects. I take it. I got head aches and nausea at first. But that's it.
Any updates?

Does anyone else get brain zaps on Zoloft
Yes . I had one in my second day with Zoloft . I woke up because I heard that electric sound 😱
@@rubimartin3051I experienced the same on 4th day . Did you continue taking or stopped with it?
@@ravireddyism I am still taking it and I feel much better . I wake up happy, I want to cook, paint ... to do a lot of activities . My husband even tells me all the time how happy I am . In my case , to pass trough the side effects was not important for me . Honestly , I needed extra help to face the anxiety and the medicine did it .
@@rubimartin3051 I’m happy for you . I’m on my 5th day . Brain zap and tingling and numbness are side effects that bother me . How long would it take to get used to it?
@@ravireddyism you will feel much better after 10 days .
I don’t know if it’s right to tell you this but do not stop it . I don’t know how long you have had anxiety but I can tell you that the way you see the life will change for good . Brain is like any other organ, sometimes needs medicine.
