Zoloft was horrible for me it made matters worse. But for others it really did help them.

RememberTheName Posted at 8:07 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 It really is guesswork trying to find the right one, you're most def right about that. Are you really depressed, and do you really want to get better? If yes this is how you do it. Skip Posted at 8:06 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 some depression can be caused by chemical imbalances in the brain so it's not that dodgy to think that an antidepressant can help you out in that way but you make your own choice.  i was on prozac for about a year and at the very least i'd say it helped me Anonymous Posted at 8:06 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 Quote: from MushroomSatsujin at 8:05 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 Your doc apparently thinks its fine and I think he would know better than you but it just seems like she only knows what psychiatry knows and they dont seem to know anything but then again i am basing this on wikipedia grinzbie Posted at 8:06 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 Im on zoloft and I didnt want to take it at first. I absolutely love it now. If they prescribed it then i would give it a shot. They know what they're doing. It has worked wonders for me and I can't imagine not taking it pm me if u want too Ashes To Ashes Posted at 8:06 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 only you can decide... sounds like you don't want to. Ndskewll Posted at 8:06 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 If it was prescribed to you, you should probably take it. BUT if you have a problem with it, take it up with your doctor, not us. We aren't doctors. Kiwimuffin Posted at 8:06 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 Oh my muffins..Do not take Zoloft.. I hated that stuff. It's terrible.. pineappleorchid Posted at 8:05 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 i know a lot of ppl that tak it. it works iv seen a difference in them. id say go for it. you know MushroomSatsujin Posted at 8:05 pm on Nov. 8, 2008 Your doc apparently thinks its fine and I think he would know better than you Most recent 15 of 15 previous replies displayed.
