Side Effects Of Zoloft ?
Q: My doctor decided i was depressed and put me on Zoloft. I was
wondering what side effects there were.
A:Zoloft worked fantastically for me. I had mild depression
and OCD. I loved it, but, unfortunately, I had the side effect that most
doctors do not tell you about - long term, significant weight gain. I
gained 40 lb in 6 mos. Finally called the pharmacist and asked him to
look it up for me. He confirmed that the Zoloft did it! Bee careful! My
theory is that the meds caused me to feel so good that I lost all my
guilt about everything, including eating! Good luck! By the way, with
diet and exercise it all came off within 6 - 8 mos of my going off the
drug.
What a pretty name :) It is really hard to predict what side-effects if any you
will experience. What is one persons experience on Zoloft might not be yours.
Also worrying about side-effects will increase your anxiety, then you won`t
know if it is truly side-effects you are feeling or the increased anxiety from
worrying. When I weaned on Paxil I worried so much about side-effects that I
think I caused some of them :) The more common side-effects can be fatigue,
nausea, dizziness,
