You are not bothering me at all. I am here for you. There are a lot of strange things going on when one is on Zoloft. I have not taken any other medicine, so I can only speak for Zoloft. The feeling in your tongue surely sounds like one of Zoloft's interesting features. Since you are a smoker, it might be wise to ask your GP or even psychiatrist to have a look at your tongue Just so that you won't worry anymore about that. If it comes with Zoloft for ocd, and it sounds just like it, you don't need to worry. You just have to be prepared for that and kind of accept it until it goes away on its own one day. I developed a hard case of skin picking. My face looked like I came out of an explosion. But I found out, that diabetes was behind it. Zoloft caused me to get diabetes again because of insomnia, and then adrenal glands did the rest. But now I have meds for it and it is way better. Please, if you feel that Zoloft is making you feel better, stick with it. Even over 200mg. Good luck.

I went through the same thing. Not only that but still at 100mg I had insomnia for 5 months, no sleeping at all ( yeap, I am not making this up), because of that I gained a lot of weight, my blood pressure is through the roof, my cholesterol is high and I have diabetes again. My head felt like when you have a cold all the time, like in a vacuum or a balloon. I was unable to concentrate, to move, to function properly. All because of Zoloft. But... once I went to 200mg, directly from 1 too 2 hundred mg, ocd got so amazingly better, that I am not willing to go off it... Without Zoloft I would have no life at all. If you knew me a year ago and today, you wouldn't believe the difference. If I went off it, I might be slim again and look good and be physically healthier and stronger, but what good would that do, because I would again isolate myself, be scared of my own shadow, take showers for 6 hours at a time, ... I am now fat and feel ugly, but all the people who judge me, do not know that it is either that od death. Zoloft for me is a life savior. I only hope I will get to 270 or 300 mg. Ocd will be gone, I strongly believe that. It might be different for each person, but... for me, Zoloft is heaven sent. Good luck.

No, definitely Zoloft. But I know people who has absolutely no side effects on the same medicine. Not even weight gain. I am otherwise quite active and vegan. No way I could gain 25kgs in 8 months. Do not give up. I did once 10 years ago. And ocd slowly came back and eventually got 400%worse than ever. I any case, if you find Zoloft having too strong side effects, you can always change meds or add a low dosage of anti-psychotic. That doesn't mean you have psychosis, schizophrenia or anything like that. They just find it helpful with ocd in a number of cases. I hope you will be smarter than I was in the past. Fight for yourself, use meds, erp if it works for you, or anything else. Just keep going. Much support.. Here for you to answer any doubt or fear you might have or come across along the way.😊

No. You don't need to be. The point here is that you get the meds to the point where you are strong enough to do Erp or any other cognitive therapy. If you feel strong enough now and erp is helpful to you, great. It doesn't work for me. With me it's all about low serotonin. Just don't stop the meds until you have all the tools you need to recognize and fight ocd emwgen it pops out in the future. And it will. You know it will. With no tools and no meds, it wins. Otherwise you do.

Zoloft question

Hello last year I had gone thru a very rough time In my life where I needed to be put on Zoloft 50mg around march 2024. I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression and OCD. Ive been suffering from OCD since I was like 11 and depression since I was 19, but I never sought help until last year Im 27 because I knew I needed it to help me get thru life. I was on 3 months on Zoloft and I went to a trip to Miami which honestly helped me so much, I honestly attribute that trip to Miami in healing me more than the Zoloft it self. I met my current girlfriend there. After coming back I felt like a new person. I still kept taking the Zoloft 50mg until late April (2025) this year when I decided to tapper down to 25mg by my self without a doc recommendation, I didn’t feel anything during the month of may this year until like may 30th when I woke up in a panic and I felt like I was back at square 1 before I started Zoloft. Mind you ive been thru some life changes, I recently graduated RN school and my gf moved in with me. Ever since the end of may I’ve been very anxious, my OCD is on high gear and my depression too. I went back up to 50mg I’m seeing a new doc, my questions is has anyone gone thru a similar situation? If so what helped you and how long did it take you to stabilize ?

DAE feels like this on meds?

17f It's day 18 of taking 50 mg of Zoloft And while it doesn't do shit for my OCD, it's still terrible, tbh even worse than it was before meds I almost constantly feel that weird forced happiness-anxiety. I can't sit still, I constantly have new thoughts, good and bad, I constantly feel some weird energy I need to put somewhere but I can't. Like im myself am on the calmer and quieter side. Also I hate physical touch. But on meds. I'm suddenly so energized and extroverted, I'm constantly talking and also I became extremely physically affectionate which is so fucking weird. It's just like im not me anymore, real version of me was replaced by this weirdly happy fake one which is not even that happy, but OCD is still there and is still terrible.
