Zoloft Newbie

A personal story in the experience: I Am Taking Zoloft
Y eah, I started like 3 weeks ago so I haven't really experienced any changes in my mood (I think...). However, I have gotten some side effects, I'm sweaty and my mouth is dry 24/7.

I know some antidepressants can do a lot of harm to a person, like thoughts of suicide. Many years ago, I was like 10, I saw a show about antidepressants that had cause a few people to kill family members :(

Hopefully it will work out


Wow, I am so going to delete this story tomorrow.

Wishing you well on the Zoloft, Lola.


Wouldn't worry about running amok on antidepressants. Yes, there is a very small added risk of suicide in the initial stages of treatment. But that is also true of every treatment in the first weeks, including psychotherapy.

I doubt that any antidepressant is intrinsically better (or worse) than any other. But 1 or 2 may be for an individual. The hard bit is finding it/them.

Don't worry about the side affects, they usually go away soon. When I started, I had really crappy morning bouts of dizziness, but they went away after the first month or so. And don't worry about suicide because of it, or anything, because I kinda researched it (I'm a little OCD about medication, lol) and it hardly ever happens. So don't worry about it, love!!
