Seeking success stories for Zoloft during challenging dosage adjustments.
Can anyone provide success stories for Zoloft?
I’m in the thick of dosage adjustments, feeling awful and looking for a glimmer of hope!

@Rous What I can tell you is a decade ago it saved my life. I can’t remember feeling like this with the increase but that’s not to say it didn’t happen.

@Rous In fact I used to sleep really well at 200mg and I’m only at 100mg at the moment. I think it’s just the adjustment. How long have you been on it?

@Other I just started it so I’m on a low dose. But this is the first time I’ve taken medication for a non-infectious disease so the side effects have freaked me out a bit

Yes!! Took Zoloft and it did wonders. The side effects for me only my lasted with my dose adjustments for about 1-2 months. I did have tiredness that lasted. I’m struggling right now to restart it because of fear that I will loose the happiness feeling. I started it this week and stopped it because of fear that I would loose feeling of happiness when I saw my kids. But it made my life so much easier with intrusive thoughts and anxiety.

I’ve been taking Zoloft for a long time, about 12 years. My dosage has changed over the years/during times of high stress. I enjoy the quality of life it gives me, but please be aware medication is not a fix-all for your anxiety/ocd/depression. It can help but works best in tandem with therapy + mindfulness + ERP. It takes about a month for the medication to build up in your system, so be patient. And keep your doctor updated on any symptoms you have. Good luck, you’ve got this!
