female age 40 started zoloft 9mths ago ,after I found out my husband was having an affair for a year and he left me and our 3 kids for her and her 2 kids.I was so depressed and physically sick.I started at 50 mg and after 6 months the doc upped the dose to 100 mg.It does help me on the every day stress of going through a divorce and im not as depressed,but I find every thing is such a chore,my energy level is zapped and that some times can get me down.My favorite time of day is bed time ,because all I want to do is sleep!!!! I am wondering if I should ask my doc about switching to some thing else.

My boyfriend took Zoloft about 2 years ago for a two year period. He has 0 sex drive and it is effecting our relationship. I am in love with him; but, we need help. He doesn't have insurance so he doesn't want to go to the doctor. Is there something over the counter for libedo?

i have been on zoloft about 8 months, I tried weening myself off of them but then my head started again. I was put on them for stress and tension headaches. I hate the way I feel on them, fatigue, constantly dizzy, dis-oriented. I don't feel right. Sex- drive, down the drain. Latley, I've been having severe head pressure, waiting on appt w/ Neurologist again, went to orthodontist to see if it could possibly be my jaw. Do I sound crazy???????????please help me

I was put on Zoloft for treatment of depression and anxiety due to an immense of stress in my personal life. At the beginning I was experiencing headaches, jaw tension, diarrhea and weird dreams. This was 2 months ago. Now I still have intense, vivid dreams, but there not bad dreams, so I don't mind that at all!! I have had NO loss of my sex drive, which a friend said I would, give it time. Thankfully, they were wrong!! I plan on being on Zoloft for 6 months, sbut so far I've seen a big change in both my attitude and emotions. BUT I also am following up with therapy, which is helping a lot too. I don't feel bad or helpless anymore about being on Zoloft or that i have had some personal issues that I needed help with. Now that I'm starting to see I wasn't the bad person in my problems, I realize that the Zoloft helped "clear my head" and helped me to start to become me again.

I had been on Zoloft three years ago for anxiety/panic attacks
I must say that it had helped me tremendously. For three years, until a major stress triggered my anxiety again, I was doing quite well. Let me just say this, as with any medication, whether it be OTC Tylenol, Advil, Fleet enemas, etc. all medication do not agree with everyone's system. We have people who are allergic to Penicillin, but does that mean we ban it or take it off the market...NO, we find something that works for us. So please do not think that it's the medication you are taking, it may just be that this particular medication does not work with you or your symptoms. Try asking your doctor to switch you to another medication. Remember not all bad medications are prescriptions.
