It definitely smooths out the highs and the lows, and that's important. However, now I cannot have an orgasm, even with masturbation. That's depressing, and counter-intuitive for the reason taking the med in the first place!

This medication saved my life. I was experiencing severe side effects with my previous SSRI as it worsened my anxiety. Zoloft manages to improve my mood without aggravating me. Within a month of taking it I became significantly less suicidal.

I have continuously taken Zoloft for the last 4/5 years in different dosages depending on my seasonal/situational depression without issue. The last 1.5 years my anxiety has gone up and down. Assuming due to covid-19 I thought it was just a symptom of the pandemic -it was not. My thoughts became very detached, it was like watching my life through the Truman Show. I started to dissociate as well. Then BAM woke up one morning everything normal went to walk my dog and this medication triggered a detached episode where I felt like nothing was real. I tried all of my coping cues and nothing. I ended up going to the ER and was treated for a severe panic attack with detachment. I had to take heavy Xanax for three days till I was able to see my primary dr where I was promptly switched to Effexor. The episode was so profound it triggers me till this day. Never since I was first diagnosed have I ever been so afraid of my own mind. That day haunts me. Praying what Iâ??m currently doesnâ??t lead me to the same scare.

I just started taking this medication two days ago and the side effects I’ve been feeling are absolutely horrible. Taking this has increased my anxiety levels ten fold and I had extremely bad panic attacks and shakiness. Also experienced insomnia and had vivid dreams. Would not recommend for everyone
