Does anyone take Zoloft . I have the medication with me but I’m just to scare to start it. Does it actually really help with ocd/anxiety?

We are all different. It takes trial and error. I was on 4 different medications before I found one for me. I took lexapro , Zoloft , abilify and cymbalta , nothing worked until prozac. But just bc it worked for me , doesn’t mean it worked for you. Zoloft might do the trick , all u can do is take it. Document how u feel every day and if u feel the same stay on it, if u feel worse then tell ur doctor.

Zoloft has been working well for my overall anxiety. It's also helped with some of the compulsions but not all. I still need therapy and still have some bad days. But it has helped my anxiety and depression! And no crazy side effects. I started at 50mg then eventually went to 75 now 100. I used to have to take xanax as well, but since my zoloft was increased to 100mg I haven't really needed the xanax. Which is great because I don't like taking controlled substances lol

Redloft- how was the firs few days of Prozac for you? I just got my prescription and I’m worried about fatigue, insomonia and nausea.

Thank you ! I might start tomorrow I’m a lil nervous never have taken any medication before

Yep, started taking it 3 weeks ago and gradually moved from 25 mg - 100 mg. It will take a while to feel a difference but it has helped with my anxiety a lot so far. I also have ocd and it has helped with that too. I was also scared to take it at first but trust me it will help!!! ?

1st week was awesome actually felt better, then second week it stalled and I feel no different, but by the 3rd week it’s like I was a new person. No side affects besides taking longer to finish during sex which isn’t such a big deal.

Thanks red max and sorry for calling you redloft! Sounds like it worked well for you. I think I’m over worried about the side effects. Since I’m suffering too much I decided to start it on Friday.
