I was given zoloft 50mg for anxiety and depression I haven't started it I am so scared due to the sides effects I've read about and I just feel so worried I keep telling myself I'm going to start it daily bur I dont! & the way I feel it's kinda like maybe I should try anything would be worth trying at this point. ..

What should I do I've been taking Xanax for years now and it just hlp the way it use to. I could take less than half of a 2mg and it would hold me for days now it like I wake up nervous already and in panic mood. Then it comes the crash of feeling really low. Plz hlp what should I do

    I found Zoloft very good after taking it for a few weeks. It takes usually 6-8 weeks for any of these pills to feel the full effect. I found the side effects cope able, if in the end it would make me feel better. It's ones personal choice if they decide to take it or not. The benefits I received from it far out weighed the side effects. It gave me back the life I had before anxiety.

    I was taking tramadol for many years , but have been off now for 5 months. I started taking Zoloft about 2 1/2 months ago. I think it's taking longer for me because of this. Reading inspiration from others and bible scriptures on anxiety and depression have helped me a lot, but being positive is hard, I no. I think it's worth a try since everyone is different. Some people say they notice right away that it's working, but for me knowing God has my back is getting me through the suffering. Every morning I say a few prayers , I try not to think about negative things from my past ( since yesterday is gone, can't change it). I also try not to think about tomorrow since it's not promised, but try and live today only. It sounds cliche , but it's helping me. It can be a tough road, and I will be praying for you.

    I was given 50mg for depression, anxiety and for whatever else is wrong with me. The only side effects im experiencing is light jitters if im not doing anything, and the worst one is my sex drive is gone. Cant keep an erection or orgasm, with a little will and time I could. My girlfriend is kind of bumbed about it but she loves how they effect me. I do so much more stuff not because I have to but because I want to. I've been depressed for 15 years or more, and now I feel like I can take over the world and once more again. I used to just dive into video games for hours a day, no not 2-3, more like 8-12 hours a day. It was my escape from reality. And now I can barely play for an hour. I started singing! And I don't even f***ing sing! Dont be afraid to try it, and as soon as you notice something worse, talk to your doctor. I have a friend whos also taking it and she says it effects her very differently, but shes still getting them from her doc and gives me some because due to my problems I can't afford them at the moment.
