I was on the second dosage from the lowest. It didn’t seem to help me much so I stopped taking it and started lowest doses of venlaflaxine. I may be switching soon, I don’t like the side effects. It makes me sick all the time but it helps.

But Fluvoxamine did help too.

Zoloft made me kind of spacey, tired and forgetful.

Zoloft has helped me a ton. I’m currently on 100mg. I went up gradually starting at 25mg. While it doesn’t take the thoughts away, it’s the anxiety to help you cope. I do feel apathetic towards some things but I think it’s worth it because I can actually leave the house without a panic attack. Everyone is different though. And you doctor will know the right medicine for you and will know how to slowly taper you on. Every time I up my dose I have bad side effects but once I’m on it for 2-3 weeks it levels out.

They put me on 25mg. I couldn’t handle the initial side effects so I stopped after a few days. However, according to my psychiatrist most people don’t react that negatively to it, so it probably just wasn’t compatible with me

I’m on 150 mg and it’s helped me a lot! I’ve tried different ssri’s and snri’s but this worked best for me! Obviously worked up slow to this dosage. People who take it for anxiety and depression tend to have dosages between 25-75 and ocd 100-200. My cousin started it for depression but it made her foggy. It is a journey to find a right one that works for you! Keep at it and communicate with both a therapist and psychiatrist!!

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 !

OCD and Zoloft (Sertraline)
Hi everyone, I’m new to the community. I was diagnosed with OCD just a couple of months ago and have been doing some reading and other research to try and understand the disorder. With this, I have been actively seeing a great therapist who has been helpful to build tools to deal with my intrusive thoughts ( contamination OCD is my worst theme). Do help learn to deal with the compulsions, I start on Sertraline or “Zoloft” I believe since November 2024. Currently I’m on 50mg and have been doing this for just over a month. My question for those who are also taking Sertraline and it has been successful, how do you know it has really provided a benefit and how long did it take to get there? I sometimes feel the medication works, and sometimes I feel it doesn’t (maybe that’s my OCD trying to mess with things). Thanks!
