    That's a tough decision to make, the way we all react differently is what makes it so hard to determine, but from the side affects I got for awhile I would have to say yes, more than likely it's just an affect that comes on and off, sometimes you feel better and sometimes you don't. That's the way this strange medication works. I sure hope it doesn't continue though. God bless you and everyone out there.

    Hey demi48809, you know what I have found, and thought about to

    , Zoloft is a mind screwer, because if

    this so-called depression helper was for real on what it does, then it wouldn't take several months or even years to work, and we wouldn't have relapsing thoughts, and suicidal thoughts, I mean they say that is what the drug is supposed to fix, but it's not like that, it's likely just like all of us, they didn't explain why you are feeling off, they'll just write a prescription and tell us how it's going to cure our feeling of being depressed, our main drug we need is a fork and spoon good healthy food, and some tennis shoes, and instead of side effects, we can all do this naturally, not eating out of the devil's hand. I really hope you will think about this, and pass the word on to others. Hope your doing well, no matter what your decision is, it is going to take some time, but I want to feel natural again, let's do this together people, demi48809 you have a great night ok? seriously think about it, all their doing is making money and using us like Ginny pigs, so we really need to do something about it.

      Timothy you are really out of order in what you are trying to do here.    You are in no way equipped to advise Demi or anyone else for that matter to stop taking meds. If that’s what you want to do by all means go ahead but don’t come on a site with scared vulnerable people and try and tell them it’s all in their head.

    Hi Demi.  I think as long as we take sert we will get side effect flare ups from time to time, I guess we have to decide if the benefits outweigh them.   It’s defnately a drug that upsets my digestive system too, when I took it previously it was the same.   I take omeprazole every day which I think helps protect my stomach and I was considering starting a pro biotic to see if it helps.   X
