Sertraline (Zoloft): What You Need To Know
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лют 2017
- Sertraline is an antidepressant in the SSRI class. It’s used for depression, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, and a number of other conditions.
After entering the market in the early 1990s, sertraline became one of the most popular antidepressants.
The drug is used in adults, adolescents, and children. There might be greater concerns and lower efficacy in young people.

Therefore, it only makes sense to provide real education free from propaganda.
TDC doesn't advocate drug use. Rather, we operate with the intention of reducing the harm some substances can bring.

@@sreerag6007 how you fell now guys?
This stuff sure did get rid of my depression... But it made me feel hollow.
Sertraline allows me to function like a regular person. I've been taking it for over a decade, and I owe a lot to it. But, what works for me won't necessarily work for someone else. Still, if you get this prescribed to you, give it a chance before you write it off entirely.
I gave it a change and now i want to kill myself
Mannn aint giving it a try. Already suicidal depressed as it is. Flushing this shit💀
Damn it was my first day n reading these comments now I’m having second thoughts talking the second day
@@albertfigueroa11
How are the things going now? Any luck?
I’ve been taking it for three years 50mg, are you still taking it? I’ve tried to get off it once a year but my panic attacks come back and top of that I get withdraw symptoms. I don’t mind taking it for the rest of my life if it means living normally and having a will to live.
Nice work my nigga
zoloft gave me my life back
Wait till you want to stop though, good luck, that shit sucks
yes I tried to ween off, wentr from 25 to 100 had to stop,, yes AD are not good,, CBD . Canabiss,,
Austin Yipeo 100% true. I don't know how doctors have the brains to keep their patients on it lifelong :/.
sooo happy for you !
how long does it take to feel happy again ? im over a month now ...still no joy no clear mind fixating on negativity .
just slightly better
@Austin Yipeo i am not against using the medication, but they should monitor their patients for serious side effects. Most patients won't go to the clinic to report the side effects cuz they don't want to pay for another visit. They come for us (pharmacists). Yet sadly pharmacists' role are still restricted though we do know about drugs more than physicians.
This is what has helped me overcome PMDD and overall has lifted the everlasting cloud over my mood and overall outlook. I luckily haven’t experienced the sexual side affects. I realize that having the right attitude is a HUGE part in treatment. You must want to have a shift in your mindset. Our minds are powerful operating systems that don’t like change. Don’t give up. Life can feel great again.
I unfortunately do, but instead of premature it’s the opposite. Every time I go to skin the suasage it’s an absolute mission
I just started taking this medication. This video was very informative and thorough. Thank you!
Zoloft helped me soften paranoid thoughts and has decreased my level of anxiety. As a result, certain activities such as taking tests and socializing are easier. It does make me tired, and it is somewhat less effective (in my case) of alleviating depression. I have noticed that I haven’t felt severely depressed at any time, but overall the medication makes me feel a bit sluggish. I have also gained 15 pounds, which is something to watch out for when taking antidepressants. I haven’t noticed a significant change in my sex drive.
Considering these main effects, I am psychologically at a higher risk of engaging in risky or unhealthy behaviors. This may mean having the guts to say what I really mean, but also has involved driving over the speed limit, road rage, occasional unnecessary arguments, an impulse to smoke weed more often than usual, and overeating.
Overall, I feel much better than I did before taking Zoloft, which is why I’m hesitant to stop despite some of what I just said.
I would consider in your case the pros and cons with SSRIs use. Engaging into risky behaviors could be a sign, that you might be developing hypo-/mania. Carelessness and not thinking about consequences is also linked to hyperactivation and thought distortions caused by SSRIs through serotonin activity.
I took this for five weeks feeling jittery, having diarrhea, & yawning anxiously constantly. I was sure it wasn’t working & then suddenly I felt so much better & those initial effects subsided. I was shocked at how much it helped my anxiety, & instead of telling myself that I hate myself all day, I started saying to myself that I loved myself. That’s when I knew that it HAD to be working. Give it some time.
That's good ,positive mindset really helps when starting any medication:)
how u now?my dr says i would try zoloft but im scared
i have anxiety too
Great pills for the rest of your life, good luck
I started taking Zoloft this past friday. And I'm glad to have read your comment because yesterday I went through the same side effects. But I know that in the long run it's going to help me because I'm just really anxious about starting over when it comes to finishing my pre-med degree on top of everything else
When I used this It helped me regulate my emotions, I became happy, started working out and had a better out look on life. I also became slightly obnoxious and very self centered. I had an incredible focus and always stayed busy BUT when I was feeling sad I felt like I was just an empty shell. I stopped taking it and made changes in my life to better myself even more and even though I lost some of my charisma and gained some weight back I flipped my life completely for the best. In my opinion these are great “band aids” for things that make us uncomfortable and things we can’t change but you should never hope for these to make your life better if it’s shitty. If your life is a mess or there’s things that you can change then you should just change them and try not to just put up with it. Other wise these will eat you alive. But that was just me
how u now?
@@user-ci7vu7eo9w i feel great!
Six years on it, I no longer fixate on a way out. Going to be here for my daughters as long as god allows me to stay.
Im taking this for OCD. I just started and I do feel happier, but got damn... These things give you horrible diarrhea
OrganicDinosaur what about dizziness?
No dizziness.
OrganicDinosaur no headaches nausea vomiting I’m curious and I’ll live with diarrhea hey you gotta be on the toilet someday!😂😂😭💯
Nope, literally the only thing I experienced was diarrhea. And its not here and there, literally for 2 weeks straight I had diarrhea 24/7. But it was worth it in the end lol
How did they work for you. I too am about to start 25mg for OCD. It's a bitch..
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do one of paroxetine! Ive been watching and supporting (and waiting haha) since day one. Methadone is also important, venlafaxine too. And what would be very important, to me and I'm sure a lot of people, is an in depth overview of the sedating antihistamines and their sleep efficacy. The main ones I ask that you cover are promethazine, doxylamine, diphenhydramine (I know you've done a video on that one before but I'd love you to compare all these and go as in depth as you can), and hydroxyzine. Thanks Seth! You're amazing
This has educated me on ssri drugs more than any of my doctors who have prescribed them to me. I did not even know the drugs I was being told to take were ssri drugs. Searching the brand name always lead me to the manufacture’s website, who’s primary concern is selling the drug and having it prescribed to people, so of course I was never told about the dependencies I could develop due to the withdrawals (and not having the luxury to be able to set time aside for the withdrawals). You hit the nail on the head when you said sufficient information is often not given/known by the doctors prescribing, and it is more so withheld from patients (not necessarily with bad intent, more along the lines of there isn’t enough time in the doctors visit) and that has impacted my live for the worse. If only I had seen this video sooner; I would have asked more questions about my prescriptions, and would have avoided some major pitfalls that I am still recovering from.
This chanell is awesome it should get ammy award keep up the good work
Just because a medication doesn't agree with your body's physiological chemistry, does not make it a "shit" drug. wellbutrin didn't agree with my liver but that doesn't mean it's a bad drug for everyone. as someone who suffers from the symptoms of depression, it was hard enough to feel comfortable with trying medication in general. when it comes to medication, do your research, talk to your doctor and pay attention to your body and how it reacts. do not take someone else's opinion as fact because that person happened to have a bad experience.
perfectly said.
Tominator my liver enzymes were over 150. normal range is under 30. I don't have the medical record here to refer to
No zoloft is actually shitty
they are all bad,, they are met for short term use,, Look into CBD,, my depression has lofted a ton after only 2 weeks on CBD / cannabis
Ah finally someone with sense
How relevant! Just started using Zoloft today!
Thanks for the video and the information very helpful.
Doctors throw these things out like candy. Hell, they often don't even go over the side effects, they just toss them around knowing that they work some of the time and don't pose much of a risk for misuse or overdose.
I agree but the reality of the situation is that docs see hundreds of patients a day and don't have the time to educate. But when it's comes down to it as an individual, you have to know what you're putting in your mouth, and that should only be decided by you after intensive research.
Emperor Beaducwealm i know! My psychiatrist just said "it might just make your stomach upset" AND THAT WAS IT. Not to mention he was a dick and he was so ready to prescribe it to me
I kinda agree. One of my two psychiatrists used to give me a big amount of antidepressants,ironic is the fact she told my mother that i don't have any mental illness. The other psychiatrist said i have a bunch of things. Who's right and who's wrong? i have no idea! But why did that bitch throw me a bunch of meds and later said i have nothing?? Suspicious...
Emperor Beaducwealm Don't forget by medical fields & society & pharmacies were all branded as drug addicts🙌😂😏👍😉
Emperor Beaducwealm You need to be your OWN ADVOCATE nowadays.If you have a truly good Dr.(as I have been blessed with), you can ask them ANYTHING & they'll answer ALL QUESTIONS.However, you CAN look these things up on your own.Insurance companies RULE the medical world now & Dr.'s are Basically helpless! Sad thing is, those Insurance people ARENT EVEN DR.S!!!
It's my first day of taking them for social anxiety and depression. Hope it works for me
How did it turn out? I'm taking mine tomorrow.
Phil for President 2020 lol u got ripped off
Phil for President 2020 it takes up to a month to fully work depending on the person u just have to have patience. I’ve been dealing with this shit for almost ten years I’m 19 turning 20. Don’t give up
@Phil for President 2020 my therapist recommended this good to know
how's it going? I was prescribed these too and I'm taking mine tomorrow
I'm on day 6 at 50mg, it's been pretty rough so far with the side effects.
I've had Increased anxiety, night sweats, tiredness, slight nausea
i had years of anxiety after my sertraline was stopped, now back on and feeling better
best channel on the interwebs and the youtubs
Loving all these videos. Sertraline/Zoloft literally saved my life. I had severe depression with psychosis and while it alone didn't cure me, it made me borderline-functional. I consider it almost a miracle drug for depression. While it isn't as effective as it first was, 10 years on I still consider it a vital, life-saving med.
It's nice to hear you like the videos, and I'm glad you had a positive response to the medication!
I ve been on Zoloft for 11 weeks now and last week was good, this week I felt like shit how long does it take to get its full effect, are ups and downs normal?
i havent had luck with any sorts of medication for Depression/Anxiety the first 2 weeks were great i was doing better in school, more motivated to do things and was happier but after 2 weeks i went crazy i punch a whole in my wall one night got in a physical fight with my parents another ( either never happened prior before ) and i was very short tempered and it ended up making me more depressed and sent to a mental hospital. *the docter said he hasnt seen this ever happen before to anybody, personally i just believe in doing what you like to do and go hang out with ur friends or do something to take your mind off it. i think talking to someone that is important to you can make a huge impact. let me know how your first month of zoloft went good or bad
Only my 4th day & I love this stuff. Before, I had lost my will to live. I think it must work faster for those who truly need it.
how can someone so beautiful lose the will to live? glad ur doing well 👍👌
Linda Lang are you still doing good?
Definitely not placebo, I noticed effects within the first day of taking anti depressants. They work really well for a while, but after being on them for a couple months your brain will slowly get really fucked up.
Any updates?
KPURDY lmao wtf dude how can you say that shit like it's normal. I hope you get better. How do they even sell guns to people like you..
I went on Zoloft for depression and severe PMS when I was in my early 20s. It made my depression worse and I gained 60 pounds because all I wanted to do was eat and sleep.
Yeah I had an ex do the same, she got severe ocd as well. It was like dating someone in Groundhog day and it led to nothing good at all.
The first few days I started I got flu like symptoms & was anxious so I stopped but got back on it & now after a couple of weeks I feel good. I normally feel like shit when I’m sober
Zoloft is my best friend, i would marry Zoloft if it was a person
it help to regulate my moods, sometimes i just had so much anxiety i couldn't stop talking for hours and other times i didn't talk at ALL for days, but now after 3 years i have been capable of see how my life have improved , my social skill have increased and my mood is more equilibrated and i'm able to do what a normal civilian can
i'm still very depressed when i'm alone with my thoughts
but i'm able to do what a normal civilian can , study , go out blah, blah lol

Good, now try to stop using it, good luck.
@@mariuszpudzianowski1743 ...why would he try to stop using the one thing that improved his life so fucking much?
@@DaddysFlipside because everything stops working at some point and you either up the doses (which doesn't do much at some point) or learn to live sober

You should also provide information on (hypo)mania induced by antidepressant on your next SSRI video. I know it mostly affects people with bipolar disorder, but I would like if also affects "normal"/neurotypical people as well.
It was prescribed to me for depression and OCD. It seemed to make no difference for either, but I found myself being much more sociable than usual, I could actually talk to and approach people without freaking out. Although I didn't have many negative side effects, it was still prescribed too quickly and without much discussion of the pros and cons in my opinion. I got up to 100mg and began to feel "off" all the time, so I decided to stop taking it. I went down by 25mg every week. During the tapering and for a few weeks after I had nausea and vomiting, dizziness (genuinely could not walk in a straight line for a little while), crying spells, and occasional periods in which I felt like I was losing grip on reality (delirium, basically). I did not experience any "brain zaps" at all.
I also have experience with a few other antidepressants. Citalopram 10mg had no effect on depression or OCD, but I couldn't achieve erections so I stopped. Venlafaxine 37.5mg and eventually 75mg helped hugely with OCD, I was amazed and honestly I felt like a part of me was missing because I wasn't constantly going through mental rituals. But, I stopped taking it due to side effects. Dry mouth, trembling hands, sweating a lot, significant issues with recalling memories, any memories I could remember felt like they were not my own. Very difficult to think while I was on it, that probably sounds weird but if you've been on it before I think you know what I'm trying to say. I also had headaches and constipation, but those two went away after the first week of use. But the biggest side effect was it just made me feel dead inside, my personality became extremely flat and the difference was very noticeable to my friends. My voice is already pretty flat but while on it I had multiple people tell me I sounded like a robot, talking in full monotone. My music taste went from primarily listening to metal, to ambient industrial noise. Only the things I hold closest to my heart could elicit any emotional response, and even then it was minimal. Upon discontinuation from 37.5mg I had a few days of intense crying spells and nausea, but no vomiting or brain zaps. Duloxetine 20mg had no effect other than making me fall asleep. Currently I only take bupropion 300mg, I don't know if it's helping all that much but it's the only one that doesn't give me any bad side effects (resting heart rate went up by a few BPM but that's it).
creative_username brain zaps usually occur when your withdrawing from the medication & they can last years even when your off them oh well day 4 for me on Zoloft so far i just get bad headaches but day one I was throwing up all night I'll give this medication some time to see if it's for me i know it's helped many people no other ssris have worked on me only benzos but I'm almost totally clean off benzos after 7 years
XOTWOD Thanks, I'm surviving. I have been taking duloxetine since I posted my first comment, about three weeks now. I took 20mg every morning for about 2 weeks, although I skipped a few days at the beginning. For the first week (other than the first time, where I just fell asleep), I had lots of energy and focus, and a reduced appetite, almost as if I had taken adderall (I have a 5mg adderall prescription for ADD but I rarely take it). After about a week of that increased energy, it went back to drowsiness. About a week ago I went up to 30mg and started taking it at night to reduce the drowsiness. At 30mg it has been effective for depression in that it helps with getting the motivation to help yourself, if that makes sense. The effect on OCD is minimal, but it is helping with depression so I'm not complaining. I think it's worth noting that the 30mg capsules are manufactured by a different company than the 20mg ones.
Nice to see that it's actually helping you. By the way *I think* the energy and improvement in depression is due the noradrenaline effects of Duloxetine.
Kingtoneable I took 40mg citalopram daily for OCD for about 6 years, from 8 to 14. I discontinued it then because it stopped working for OCD. I also developed depression at that time (before discontinuation but after it stopped working), which I don't remember ever having prior to that. I don't remember the intervals at which I tapered but it was pretty slow, at least one month in total, probably longer. Even then I never experienced any brain zaps, I guess I'll consider myself lucky in that regard. I have no first-hand with benzodiazepines, but congratulations on being clean. A lot of SSRI's can have pretty nasty side effects when you first start, hopefully they will go away after a few weeks. I wish you luck.
Awsome report! Maybe you can do something about Trazodone. This would be interesting.
I found it quite useful for seasonal affective depression / low mood.
I take 75 mg of Zoloft and 15 mg Zyprexa everyday and it helps me tremendously.
any symptoms of feeling sick at the start of the day?
nice video ! could you cover 2C-T-7 ? i would love to hear something about it because there is only little information on it.. keep it up buddy!
Zoloft was prescribed more frequently than any other antidepressant in the USA in 2018 with over 38 million prescriptions.
I’ve been taking this medication for my really bad anxiety/panic disorder/depression and PTSD for almost a week now and I already have felt a HUGE difference. I no longer have horrible chest pain or that tightness in my chest and I feel more relaxed and less anxious. With that being said I refused to take medication but I got to the point that I just couldn’t do it on my own anymore and honestly if I would of read some of these comments I would NOT have taken this medication because of how paranoid and scared I was so if your someone who is going through a hard time and your reading these bad comments about how they didn’t work for someone, that’s normal this medication isn’t for everyone but maybe your like me and it will do wonders for you ! But don’t give up it’s worth a try ! 💪

THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT WITHDRAWL BECAUSE ITS HELL AND IMPORTANT TO BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO LOOK FOR IT
this medication was prescribed to me for my OCD and anxiety when i was a kid and even though it worked for my OCD like a charm, it didn’t help with anxiety and caused diarrhea that never went away (assuming it was a side effect)
Out of all the SSRI drugs I’ve tried Sertraline was the best for me. No persistent side effects after the first few weeks of introducing into my system. But like every SSRI it eventually made me into an unfeeling hollow person. This was much better than the crippling anxiety and depression I had but also not a very pleasant way to be either. I came off after using for about six years and got some feelings back but the anxiety and depression came with it, the anxiety not so much but the depression is a problem. I’m considering going back on something as life has little joy and I don’t want to feel miserable all the time any more. Thinking of trying a Dopamine raising drug if my Dr will prescribe it (I’m in the U.K.) and see if it helps? If not it may be back on to the Sertraline and into Zombie land again. I remember how good life could be before this all started 25 years ago, I just want that brain back...doesn’t have to be all the time either just a bit.
Ever try an SNRI?
@@Jesse78 I tried Mirtazapine once and think that was an SNRI? Horrible drug, made me have nighttime restless legs and put my appetite through the roof! I’m still on Sertraline but only 50mg and it seems to be good. Things have got better and I have been anxiety free for over a year. The depression is still there but no way near as bad.

@@Bushcraft-xz6xd I was going to say thay maybe your dose was too high. I know I felt the same way when I was on the 100mg. Sorry, I know this was an old post
I was suffering severely from panic disorder and anxiety, witch was caused by my drug use(a single dose of Molly and Ritalin) I was starting to have suisidal thoughts, and I was afraid of becoming physically addicted to benzos. When I started taking Sertraline, the first week I got worse, It felt like I’m going completely insane, I was legitimately horrified of becoming suicidal and killing myself(I didn’t want to die, but I wanted the suffering to end, it was unbearable).
It took two weeks for sertrline to kick in for me. When it started working, it was like I came home from war. I can function quite normal again. It took like a month or two to fully work. But after that, I managed to quit benzos, I rarely have panic attacks. I still have mild anxiety almost every day, but it’s nothing compared to before. Sertraline literally saved my life. The fact that I can’t take psychs anymore, and the sexual dissfunction sucks, but it’s beter to survive. I really appreciate this medication. I don’t care if many people hate SSRIs, some people think all pharma is bad. I don’t think so.
What dose are you on
@@alexrusso8364 100mg daily.
Started with 25.
It would help many people greatly if you could make a video about Citalopram. Amazing, enlightening videos! Thank you.
I tried this for ocd and depression 3 years, it worked at higher doses, but its someone i would recommend to use to get out of depression and OCD and quit as soon as possible
It always ramps up your symptoms before it fully starts working. People always take it for like 3 days say they still feel like shit and stop. It takes a while but it's worth it just stick to it. I'm on 250mg it works. At least for me
i stopped taking Zoloft and suffered the worst withdrawal symptoms of my life. I've detoxed myself off of heroin and that had nothing on the SSRI withdrawal. those damn brain zaps nearly drove me to insanity, I didn't think it'll ever stop.
Zack Kuhn i got brain zaps from popping to much mdma
I got zaps doing to much K the worst
Changed my life for the best. Accompanied with positive social interactions and spirituality, beneficial midnsets, this medication has been the best I have been on.
Works so well for me onit a year. Thank God it works.I started on 100 and stayed there.
Already helping me a few days in. hard to describe but where I had anxiety and worry In mornings I'm now kind of ignorant to the negative so there's more time to just crack on with day to day stuff and look forward again. I was very depressed and already I'm back eating well back at the gym and now feeling a lot more positive. I had been doing everything to avoid these and tried to pick myself up but even with counselling that wasn't happening. hopefully these have given me the extra kick and I won't have to stay on them for too long
Bro I've literally the same results as you , it's my 5 day and I can already tell a difference. My side affects are not even that bad.
Are you still on these ? Would be interesting to know how it worked for you.
@@Dreadful_RSA ive been on them twice pal. The same thing happened both times. They do me really well until week 6/7. They then have a weed/stoned effect on me in the way they make me lazy and satisfied with things too easily. Takes away my motivation for the gym and my diet starts going down the pan so i step down for 2 weeks then come off. The good feelings last for a little while after coming off but i had to get back to the gym. If you manage to take these and still keep the gym going with them you deserve a medal. Im about as driven as they come and it floored me
Cannot sleep ever while I’m taking this
your content is so great, i get so excited when u post. could you do one on amitripyline for me?
It's on the list of things to discuss, so I will eventually cover it. I'm glad you like the content.
IF your getting off Zoloft, there is an herb called Kanna that you can use that will pretty much completely eliminate withdrawals
Zoloft is the best antidepressant ive been on honestly, nortriptaline the second best, and mirtazipine felt weird, but prozac is the worst
I was on sertraline for a couple months, pretty much stopped eating and dropped about 10kg in about two months. Too many side effects to counteract the positive effects
Hi, I would really appreciate a video on finasteride; specially if there is a previous test to see if one would be more or less susceptible to the undesirable side effects.
Thanks for the great videos.
It kinda have worked for me in a way, I don’t feel as sad and depressed anymore. But just as I don’t feel any sadness goes the same for other emotions, I don’t feel emotion and it kinda sucks and have made me feel less ”human” in a way. Another thing it have done is to totaly kill my Sex drive, and this is a very common side effect sadly. So please consider other solutions than medication and let SSRI’s be a last resort if things like daily excersise and other better natural solutions don’t work on you. Much love❤️
What a coincidence! I started Zoloft today!
Swift_ same lmao
Me too, for anxiety and depression. Experienced nausea, headache and extreme fatigue..
Same for OCD
Pretty useless , you will be disappointed.
+ma22be61 In the video, he did mention that Zoloft is subjective in its effects. Maybe what didn't work for you, has the possibility to work for someone else?
I was on this drug for a fairly long time (2 and a half years). Whilst it did help stabilise my mood it also made me feel completely empty inside. I wasn't depressed, but I wasn't anything else either. All my emotions were suppressed. I've been off it for 2 months and feel like shit everyday, but for me it's preferable to the drug.
I'll take medicine induced feelings of not hating life but to each their own. I almost did a suicide a couple of times I'll stick with the drugs over feeling shitty forever.
Started 50mg Sertraline last night and man did I have a rough night sleeping. Also, has anyone had major burning/heartburn after taking it? It's horrible but it will pass eventually!
Like always very good video, Thanks! Can you do another Nicotine video with new studies for positives effects?
I'll eventually update the nicotine video and if there are studies worth discussing I may talk about them on the channel or site. If you have any specific studies you'd like me to check out, feel free to let me know.
Just got a prescription for Zoloft hopefully it helps
Hows it going so far? Are you male?
so when I was 20, I tried to od on my Zoloft, and since then (24) I have had long lasting effects of depersonalization and derealization. I also have very numbed emotions, much like malancholy. the happy is there, but it isn't always a sad overtone. so I'm wondering if my 5ht receptors were damaged, or effected due to the neuroplasticity. I have taken quite a lot of psychedelics over the past few years, but they have helped me adjust to the symptoms and learn to be okay with them. so I'm wondering if people that overdose on antidepressants and fry their neuron, can it be helped through neurogenesis or adjusted by pure neuroplasticity?
Your response isn't typical assuming the sertraline overdose is responsible. I'm not aware of any evidence suggesting a very high concentration of the drug could permanently damage neurons. That doesn't mean some sort of prolonged disruption in activity can be totally ruled out, but we have little to no information in this area. It also means it's unknown what the best course of action would be for fixing the problem other than to treat your symptoms as typical depersonalization/derealization.
thats more or less how I tried to treat it. I figure being tossed on prozac would just cause the same or worse, same with most of antidepressants. I do use thc, and it helps tremendously, it feels like I settle into it. I am interested in Piracetam to see how it would effect me. I am more or less thinking, zoloft has a neurogenesis factor, and im wondering how strong of an agent it could be in harming the 5HT pathways. I have taken 5HTP and it gives me an almost Psilocybin euphoria, just without the psychedelic shift.
I have been on sertraline for 1 month now and would say to anyone to give it a go, the side effects at the start were horrible though, I recommend buccastem anti nausea tablets for nausea!!!
Finally feeling like I am getting my life back together, one day at a time :)
I have sertraline 50 mg
The make is ''accord '' is it good
Methylphenidate helps with my depression.
Forget Anti depressants, they're the Worst
I have suffered from anxiety, depression, very negative thoughts that wont go away, and panic attacks since late 2020. So much happened during that time and it all built up in the worst possible way, I’ve never had a panic attack in my life beforehand and afterwards it seemed like they happened quite frequent, specifically driving alone at night or on long trips. I was unable to go out of town like I used to do and visit my godchild for a year and a half. Got on zoloft, and idk if it’s a placebo or not but I’ve been able to mostly gain my normal life back through it. I still get some overthinking and depressive thoughts but they never overturn into something greater. It won’t work immediately, it’s very subtle, but it helped me a lot.
Drugs work differently for each person. I tried Zoloft however I stopped and tried Wellbutrin which I heard amazing things about. Unfortunately I had insane hilucinations on that drug so then I tried trintillex which made me gain weight. So now I am back to Zoloft. It has worked the best thus far. My side effects have been exhaustion and zero sex drive.
Wellbutrin messing with dopamine. So it have chance to cause hallucination. Also it mess with noreadrelanine (typo). Excessive of this can caused panic attack and anxiety. Wellbutrin is not recommended for schizophrenia, bipolar and MDD with psychosis. So you might recheck back diagnosis with your doctor.
I can happily encourage people with depression and/or anxiety to take this.
Before i thought that Ssri/Snri medications didnt work and were "placebo".
Now, after 5months on this medication i can say it really works. I was severely depressed before, now im ok, almost happy. which is a huge difference. This also reduces anxiety.
If you have depression and/or anxiety ask your doctor for this medication, it really works well. It gives you energy and makes you satisfied and almost happy.
I ve been on zoloft for 11 weeks now, I have anxiety and depression. Last week was great but now my anxiety and depression seems to go up again. How long does it take zoloft to get its full effect? Are ups and downs normal?
I've been on Prozac, Wellbutrin, and now I've been prescribed Zoloft. Prozac made me super irritable, and Wellbutrin gave me my first ever panic attack. It scares me to be taking another drug, because ever since Wellbutrin my anxiety has been worse. It feels like it affected me forever. Part of me feels like antidepressants are just a lie to make money, and I'll be doing myself more harm than good. Honestly I'm scared.
stop the madness,, try CBD/ cannibis,, it works !!!!
Seriously try cannabis, instead of brain cells being reconstructed, and not for the best. Antidepressants are killers.
What about us people that get drug tested for work, and cannabis is not an option?
Wellbutrin increase the norephenephine. Which also increases the chance of panic disoder and anxiety.

Could you make a video on Lexapro/Celexa?
I’m on the lowest amount at only 12.5 mg and yet it still does wonders
My life has been messed up, very fucked up. Im an ex heroin addict in my 20s my docs gave me a bunch of this but I don't wanna be a dopehead again so it just sits. Does this really help I have serious depression I have lost everything. Im the one who usually helps folks my age with prison and health issues but behind closed doors im goin nuts from my life and what I have seen.
Am I just lookin for a way out or should I really be taking something.
Anyway God Bless Everybody
this sertraline gave me lifelong tinnitus and weight gain was also there when i used it many years ago.
stalkerlohh ssris did not make you gain weight. you gained weight.
Mark actually, a side effect of many antidepressants is increased appetite and weight gain. i've always struggled to put on weight but as soon as i started sertraline I gained 6kg in just over a month.
DyslexiaSkucs You're right but its more of a flaw in logic. It should be said Ssri's can cause an increase in appetite not that ssri's cause weight gain. Because an increase in appetite doesnt always result in weight gain. Correlation doesnt imply causation.
stalkerlohh You're a fucking fatass who is too lazy to exercise and yet you have the nerve to blame this drug

My regimen with methylphenidate and this drug a few years ago produced intense derealization.
Zoloft caused depersonalization/ derealization for me as well. I have also experienced it while not on any medications, but while on Zoloft it was a lot more intense and was persistent. I was on methylphenidate for a while (but never combined with zoloft) and it didn't result in any derealization.
Gui Kirsch shit this is my combo now.. How did you stop?
Bart W. I actually stopped the Zoloft first rather than the methylphenidate.
srri's + methylphenidate produce the same effects as cocaine.
For the most part, yes
You should do Trazodone. I’ve been super curious about it’s method of action and just about it in general
I was on this for a couple of years, then I realised it was all in my head and I didn’t actually need it.
it is.but sometimes life hit hard and you fell like zombie
Me and Zoloft get along just fine
well its got you by the ass, sorry to hear that.
wait till you have the long term side effects,,lol,, like NO desire for sex,,
You definitely need to start reducing the dose gradually to stop it. Its so harmful to stay lifelong on it
I understood the reference
Dance gavin dance
i'v been using Seroxat(Paxil) It does work,but don't even wanna mention side effects at all ((
i used it couple of days i fellt like zombie
Was only on this one for 2 months but had side effects like panic attacks migraines and appetite loss, switched to Cymbalta which works a lot better for me. But hey each antidepressant affects each person differently
I am suffering from Complicate grief disorder, due to the unexpected death of my husband.
This drug is also given to treat skitso and Bipolar disorder. I have neither.
I am grieving the loss of a man I loved more than anything in the world for years.
Someone whom I will never have in my life again.
Hello,
I'm so sorry, that's really awful for you.
I hope you have family/ people to support you, even if it's someone to talk/listen it may help a little..🙂
Do a video on blue lotus please
If you are taking for anxiety, it will make it worse before it gets better, but stick with it .
@@ae-wd2qd there is no best dose everyone is different.
been on it for a few months now cant really tell if its helped (dont really leave the house so not many opportunities to test)
@@amp4105 if you have social anxiety you need different medication
there is a low risk with zoloft and dextromethophan
i don't think ever experienced serotonin syndrome, although i did have a seizure once because i took too much dextromethorphan
Hey do you think you could do a video on Propranolol, I was just prescribed it as a preventative for my chronic migraines that I've had for 2-3 years and it seems to work decently well for me except for when I have breakthrough pain for which I'm prescribed imitrex shots and 10mg oxycodone which in combination work amazingly. If you do end up making a video for propranolol thanks a lot! Thanks for all the info about drugs and how they work! Keep up the good work!!
I find it ironic when my friends try to overdose on antidepressants
Adrian_ Zombturtle lol They'l succeed more by jumping in front of a train....
lol
They are waisting there minds the more they do it, it will turn you into a walking zombie
Adrian_ Zombturtle antidepressants such as benzodiazepines are very addictive and easy to overdose on, SSRIs are not, but they are both antidepressants
@@CrnogorskiNacionalista No, Benzos are tranquilizers. They work in the nervous system and are anti-anxiety meds, Antidepressants work in boosting seratonin levels
Just keep in mind if u guys take it, it will be for lifetime.
Had to use it for 4months, it did nothing while on it, but then i stopped using it and the depression became worse than ever and in addition i had brain zaps, took a year to recover to the state where i was before taking it and im recovering on my own right now which is going fine ( already learned to stop panic attacks and even stop panic induced adrenaline rush at will, but its still tricky ).
Side effects: Inability to wake up easily + night sweating, i was like glued to bed every morning, before it i was able to jump out of bed and be productive instantly.
Good I am going to take this for a week and wondered what it was
This is the most alienating medication I’ve ever been prescribed. I took it for one day and then abandoned it ASAP. It made me feel totally alienated and not my self. I was so out of it, it felt like a bad mushroom trip
Sertraline saved my life.
Effy Stonem dint u had any side effects
nazni naaz A little weight gain, and awful aggravation of my illness symptoms for the 2 first weeks of treatment but after that it helped me so much 🙌🏻
I used to take this but after 2 months my appetite was still bad and I got headaches did not stop
Adrian_ Zombturtle me too what did u do to stop it
Brian Sanchez I stopped taking it so my new problems would go away
Has your appetite ever recovered? I stopped taking it after it made my anxiety attacks worse and had some withdrawal symptoms and my appetite has never been the same since.
@@Andrew-co6ye same but i have pssd because of it.

I just started today I get anxiety. Thank you for sharing
Hi how are u now doing u still taking sertraline
Working well for you?
Which SSRI is known to have the least reported amount of side effects?
Gary Simone: I don't recommend cannabis. I had anxiety and derealization after it. I was smoking for 5 years and now I need to treat my GAD and social anxiety with sertraline.
Same
Same x
GAD?
General Anxiety Disorder
Same
This drug is horrific and every provider should try it before they prescribe it!
You can not see a patient for 10 minutes and decide their issues are mental and prescribe these drugs!
Zoloft was the first psych med I was started on. I couldnt swallow pills at that time, so I had to get it in a liquid form. It must be diluted in either Sprite or orange juice. Upping my dose just a couple milliliters sent me into a wild psychotic break that lasted for hours. Screaming, crying,howling, ripping my hair out in chunks, pulling my eyelashes off, ripping the skin off my arms until it bled, rocking back and forth... it was fucking terrifying... since then, and 5 years later, I still have restless legs, akathesia, from the overdose. Thinking it might have been serotonin syndrome... be careful with this shit, guys.
Are you still alive?😂
Anyone considering to take this here was my experience with Zoloft
*1st day*
After a couple hours, felt extremely drowsy and sleepy, nothing bad, it was fun. I felt good.
*2nd day*
Felt perfectly normal for the first 6 hours, but my digestive system was overworking, I went through digestion in 2 hours and felt empty 2 hours after eating. After those 6 hours I lost appetite, felt grossed out by everything. Extreme headaches and insomnia at night but still bearable
*3rd day*
Woke up with a headache, tired, didn't want to move, back pain. Throughout the day I started feeling more and more anxious. I reached a point of anxiety that I had never reached before in my life. Got extremely anxious, and couldn't eat. The one time I tried to eat that day I inmeadiatly got EXTREMELY nautious, anxious and was sweating, my heart rate was going really fast, and I really think I would have vomited if it weren't because my stomach was empty. After that I hard stopped taking it.
After 3 days I did experience withdrawals but nothing really too bad
Was taking ~70Mg each day, tablets were 150Mg cut in half.
You shoulda started at 25 or half of a 25
