I sought treatment for ADD like symptoms and, although my doctor agreed that I have ADD, he said that I also have depression and that he wanted to start treatment for that first. So he prescribed Zoloft. All I can say is that I'm very unhappy, worse now than before. It has increased the ADD brain fog, which is the reason I'm depressed in the first place! I've always felt so stupid. I'm known as the office idiot because I make so many mistakes, I'm so out of it. I hoped that with treatment that might get better. Zoloft is by far making it worse. My memeory is even worse than it was prior to taking this medication. Not only has the ADD gotten worse, but now I believe it has morphed into ADHD!!! I'm restless, can't sit still, become "very" uncomfortable when I have to sit still, yet at the same time I'm lethargic! I have this internal restlessness that will not let up, but at the same time my body doesn't want to move! It's SO uncomfortable I think I'm going insane. I wanna jump right out of my skin! I'm having terrible mood swings, and yet I feel numb mentally. I can't cry anymore for real reasons, though occasionally I have crying fits for no reason. I'm irritable and agitated, have no willpower to do anything and am losing my temper more and more. I feel very out of control. Angry, moody and restless, yet numb, unfeeling and lethargic. I've also gained a LOT of weight in the 2 months I've been on it. The thing is, I'm not hungry. Zolft has completely taken away my appetite, but at the same time has caused major carb cravings which completely overpower my lack of appetite. I'm not hungy, but I eat and eat and eat and I can't get full, ever, can't be satisfied. Confused yet? So am I.

Severe headache- close to a migraine, lump in throa which made me believe I was having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics, unable to sleep while full of anxiety. A basketcase of emotions- for example: my dad called to see how I was recovering from my kidney infection. I broke down and started crying to him. The night before I was up and cooking dinner for my boyfriend...It's like I morphed into whole new person overnight. Odd. Taking 500mlg x10days.
