after the first session, my psychiatrist says he wants me on the lowest dose possible of zoloft. are there any side effects i should be aware of? i looked it up and it said it can cause things like memory impairment and seizures and that scares me. is there anyone here that’s on it?

I would reccomend not seeking any advice from people’s personal experiences with medications because we aren’t doctors but also because all brains are unique and react differently. Just know that side effects like that are usually rare and you should voice any concerns with whomever prescribed you the medication. This is just my advice because when I would search symptoms I ended up making myself feel horrible. Hope it goes well for you.

Hey there! From what I've heard, Zoloft works for a lot of people. It helped my friend through some really dark times and he's MUCH better now. I didn't have too much luck with it, but I'd recommend not asking or looking up any info on it. It'll get into your head and you might think side effects into existence. I know I do that... if I go into something thinking that I'll have a terrible time, I'm already setting myself up for that kind of failure. Everybody reacts to meds differently so really go on your own path with it & if you feel uneasy about anything definitely talk to your doctor. Good luck!! :)

starting Zoloft.

For starters I was on this medicine before i remember the first few weeks were very scary and debilitating. I don’t remember why I stopped taking it , it was about 7 months ago. but I just recently started back because my ocd and anxiety has been off the chain. I keep having bad thoughts about the side affects and I’m terrified like “ what if I have a seizure” can anybody share an experience? Anyone on Zoloft here. Thanks !

Medication

So I have been diagnosed with GAD and OCD and my psychiatrist prescribed me with zoloft 🤔 but I dont know im really hesitant to start medication because im scared of the side effects and ik afraid of relying on a medication for a long time. Does anyone else take zoloft? What is it like? Any side effects?
