Have you taken Zoloft? Does it help you?

Question

I need some information from anyone who has had panic attacks & if they were prescribed the medication Zoloft. Has it help your attacks? What side-effects have you had? If Zoloft has not worked for you, what has? This is VERY important to me so not jokes please! Thank you!

Answer 1

Zoloft..... YES A WONDERFUL HAPPY PILL

Answer 2

I took zoloft when my boyfriend had cancer.. I didn't like it. It made me feel really zoned out and blah. I felt like i couldn't be myself at all... It's hard to explain. It takes about 3 weeks to really kick in though.. and it's almost like you're high and dazed or something. Things that would normally affect you, you're just like whatever. I didn't like it because that's not how i am at all.

Answer 3

I took Zoloft and it worked very well.  I actually lost weight taking it.  The only bad side effect I had was it made my hair fall out, and my hair is very thin to begin with, so I had to quit taking it.  I really didn't have trouble with side effect from switching to Lexapro.  Hope this helps. I too suffer with panic attacks, and I find Xanax or Ativan to be more helpful than any antidepressant.  God Bless.

Answer 4

Take it before bed because it makes you sleepy. You may get a little numb, but I can shine through it. Good look.

Answer 5

I took Zoloft in high school because of panic attacks and other stuff. It worked for me, I guess. Well, it stopped the panic attacks. I can't recall the side effects I got from it, if any. Zoloft definitely worked better than Lexapro. With Lexapro, there were some days that I couldn't tell the difference between reality and my dreamworld. It was frightening.
