Okay, so I've been suffering the last few weeks and can't seem to kick this Anxiety, so I was put on Zoloft today.  Now, typically I would go online and google it and find out about all the bad things Zoloft will do for you, but I'm not going to.  Any words of encouragement would be most appreciated.  I hope everyone is having a great Monday!!!!  Thank you!!!

I have been on Zoloft for a 3 weeks now, and so far so good. I took Lexapro for a while several years ago, and hated it...the sexual performance side effects were much stronger than they are with Zoloft....at least for me. My mom has been on Zoloft for 15 years, and it has saved her life. Her anxiety was so crippling she couldn't work half the time. She hasn't had a panic attack in YEARS....she is doing great.

Thank you MTBR!!!!  That sounds great!!!

The pharmacy says to take in the morning, but others I know have said to take in the evening.....anyone have any insight on this??

Thank you!!!!

I took Zoloft years ago and I found it tremendously helpful. Side effects were brief and quite tolerable. Once I got my dose right, I stayed on it for a year, and tapered off quite easily with no side effects. I took it in the morning, but I think you just have to find what works best for you. Hope it helps you!

Good for you!  That is why I dont take meds. I always google or read the insert the pharmacy gives you and then get scared of side effects.
