I’m currently on Prozac and it’s been a year now. I’ve been debating to go on Wellbutrin or not because every now and then I will get phases where I become super sad and depressed and don’t want to do anything. I just don’t want anything that will cause me to be sleepy because I also have problems with grogginess during the day. If you think it will help you, then give it a try and see how you like it

Wellbutrin isn’t known to cause drowsiness! It should be taken in the morning though because it can cause insomnia, so maybe it would be good for you too! 😊

Wellbutrin is actually what gave me OCD and worsened my depression. I hope you have a better experience

I have taken Wellbutrin with Zoloft to help with low libido not depressive symptoms, so my experience might not offer much information for you, but I've felt great on Wellbutrin. Even though I don't take it for depression, I feel like it helps me feel better...almost like I'm not as likely to be clouded by complete negativity. Not to say that I never get sad or down or think negatively, but it somehow feels easier to bounce back from than before I was on Wellbutrin.

Oh good!!! I’m glad to hear that it’s working well for ya. I definitely relate to the “clouded by negativity” I’m usually a very happy, bubbly, positive person but the past 2 years I’ve just been PISSED for no reason and snapping at everyone. I hope this helps!

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 !

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!
