Zoloft - How do you like it?

I haven’t tried Zoloft. I was wondering, who has tried it? What dose do you take? Does it work well for you? Are there any side effects that bother you?

I’m always nervous to try a new medication.

Thanks!

Personally, Im now at a point where i hate it, but also cant live without it. Got it prescribed for anxiety, but it makes me feel like a full-blown zombie. Very numbing experience, especially if you are used to various emotional waves throughout the day. No more crying, but cannot experience the highs as well either. It differs for everyone, so just see how it works for you. Also keep in mind the side effects if you stop using it suddenly - those brain zaps are no joke!

Thank you for sharing that with me.

I am definitely used to feeling the depths of my emotions. I appreciate the advice! I have learned to taper off of meds 😅 finding the right medication is so difficult.

I wish it were easier sometimes.

Anyways, I hope you’re having a good day!
