@sheepardspie Same here. I felt like when I was so on it that I had a really flat effect. But everyone’s experience is different!

It lowered my anxiety, which made the intrusive thoughts less distressing, in my experience

I'm on a low dose and it helps with the panic feeling but I do still ruminate a lot about my OCD theme

Not to be *that* guy, but I very much recommend listening to doctors and psychiatrists and not random people on the internet if your considering taking a drug.

Zoloft caused a lot of digestion side effects for me (I’ll spare details). Lexapro has been best for me, but everyone is different in their reactions to different SSRIs.

@Simon It helped me a lot, but the most relief came from increasing to a therapeutic dose for OCD, which I avoided for the first couple years because it sounded too high. It actually ended up being great for me with no side effects.

Made my anxiety worse, gave insomnia, nausea - it isn't for everyone. I'm better on low dose risperidone

Starting zoloft!!
So my doctor is starting me on 25 mg of Zoloft soon and I'm actually really exicted. I'm finally ready for this to be manageable. I know it's not a cure but I am told that zoloft is primarily recommended for specifically ocd. I'm not sure if I'm ready to start it tonight but yeah. Please do not tell me any negative side effects or anything related to nausea since I'm taking it for emetophobic contamination ocd and I don't need any opinions to make me biased but if any of yoy had SUCCESSFUL zoloft stories please comment!!

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 ?

Zoloft
I’m thinking about starting sertraline (Zoloft) soon. What are your experiences on it? Is it worth it? I mainly wanna take it for my social anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Depression isn’t a problem I face. What dosages are you on? Are you happy with it?
