I have been on Zoloft for two and a half weeks, and in a constant mental struggle with the fact of being on psych medication (one minute I'm going to stop taking it, the next I'm giving it another week). Have seen few benefits, although early in the course of usage. One benefit is I'm tiring out earlier at night and getting good sleep. Another is probably a placebo effect of feeling a little more calm and less tempermental. But the negative side effects have been a minor sexual problem in finding great difficulty achieving climax. The worst side effect (assuming it is a side effect of the drug), is urinary incontinence, especially at night. I wake up with urgent bladder pain only to release a small amount of urine with almost no force behind it. This is followed by several daily episodes similar in nature and lately a mild pain in my lower left abdomen. I am visiting the doctor today in hopes of determining the cause of this, but it seems too coincidental to not be related to the Zoloft. I'm stopping cold turkey today.
