I take Zoloft and I had weight gain issues and minor sexual issues but I promise you those are absolutely nothing in comparison to the OCD I was dealing with

@Mattinnitt Yes I absolutely do. It worked wonders for me and made me feel like I had a life again. It doesn’t have to be permenant, anxiety medications aren’t meant to be

TRIGGER WARNING: Mental health meds will almost always cause weight gain, which super sucks, but I’d rather be curvy than want to kill myself. Keep in conversation with your doctor. Tell them how the meds affect you, good and bad. They’ll work with you to make sure you’re on the best regimen to get you and your mind healthy. I was scared of anti-anxiety meds in the beginning; I was afraid that if they worked and I relaxed then I wouldn’t be able to fight off the thoughts. Couldn’t have been further from the truth.

How much weight gain? I have self image issues and I’m afraid that weight gain will make me even more depressed and feel ugly :(

@worryqueen I was on 100 mg which was completely unnecessary and I gained probably 20-25 pounds but only because I wasn’t aware of the gain at the time, as long as you’re aware of it and are cautious it’s not an issue

@Mitchell To clarify, 100 was unnecessary for me, 50 was perfect for me personally

@Mattinnitt I had a couple sexual issues (delayed/unsatisfying ejaculation) but besides that I didn’t have a lot it was mainly the weight

I’m worried about the impulsive behavior. It says it’s rare but it’s scary

I’m in the exact same shoes man. I was prescribed Prozac on Thursday and haven’t taken it yet cause I’m so scared... I keep thinking about the side effects and if I’ll be better off without them instead :( wish I could decide

I genuinely feel like this terror inside myself, like this is my last day till everything gets horrible… idk suddenly I have this anxiety this “fear of nothing” makes me feel like I’m not gonna make it, that I will never feel okay and that my life is over. I’m scared, I’m always scared

Starting new anxiety meds
Hi everyone, I’m 23 and have been on Zoloft since I was 16. For the past couple months I’ve been having panic attacks more and I’m sick of feeling like a zombie everyday. My boyfriend said I’m very sad and unhappy then when I first met him 2 years ago…. He thinks it’s the medicine. Throughout the years I have upped and lowered my medication, but now, I feel as though it’s not helping. Either it was too much where I didn’t feel emotions at all like very scary stuff or it wasn’t enough to help me. I was given 5mg of Lexapro to try…. I’m scared to take it. All I know is how Zoloft is. I don’t want to go crazy on it, be allergic to it, etc. I feel like I’m going to trip myself out when I take it and not actually feel the difference. I could really use some positive feedback I really just want to be a normal human😭

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 !
