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!! :)
