I finally got my prescription if sertraline/Zoloft and I’m so scared to take it.
The side effects terrify me!
Help!
Any success stories?
Minimal side effects?
I know I asked before but I need to reread things again to calm me down.
Oh yeah sex drive is shot but you’ll find that with all SSRI’s
I’ve only taken it once but I feel it helped me.
I was just prescribed that on Tuesday by my doctor ! Right before she called me back in the room to tell me I’m pregnant
I just started it two weeks ago all I can say the first week it made me super tired but I can tell my body is starting to adjust but my anxiety and moods have been way better
Was that all the side effects you had? I’m scared of the side effects a lot.
@lillylove, that’s the only side effect I had minus I forgot to eat one day so I had stomach problems but I just eat something small and I’m fine now
I’ve been on it for over 6 years now and rarely see any side effects. Write a pros and cons list!! It helps to visualize it
Did you have any side effects when you first started? This’ll be the first time I take any sort of medication.
I was also afraid of taking it but I have PPD. The only side effects show up if I take it on an empty stomach or without enough water. I take it at bedtime and make sure I’m not hungry. Also drink with a good amount of water. I feel a lot more emotionally stable.
How long have you been on it? And what side effects did you have?
@lillylove, just what I already listed and perhaps my sex drive.. but it’s hard to know with that bc that was shot before I had my baby😂
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Anyone has got an IUD? What are some side effects?, I just got one today and I hope weight gain is not a side effect for me.
Birth control suggestions? Was on the pill before I was pregnant but I had to stop taking it because it gave me blood clots in my heart which is like the most serious side effect. Go figure.
Have any of you taken Sertraline/ Zoloft for their anxiety?
My therapist wants me to try it out but I’m scared of the side effects.
I get the Mirena tomorrow and I'm kind of nervous hoping I don't get any serious side effects from it.😬
I took it for about 10 months, maybe a year, for PPD. It helped immensely! I was on a low dose 50 mg. I took it after dinner in case it made me sleepy. No big side effects for me.
