good for nothing, really. Also known as Sertaline is a antidepresant. they claim that it is also good for anxiety and panic attacks but i doubt it. This kid in high school used to buy them off me.he claimed that taken together with weed will give him a mooth mellow worry free high everytime. (weed is known to make people panic sometimes) i honestly think he was full of it. i just enjoyed taking his money for them to buy my own drugs with it. anyone ever heard of this?
 
Symptoms: Pretty serious depression that has gone untreated for too long. Slowly weaning myself back to sobriety at the moment also- I have a real bad alcoholism problem. Used to be addicted to cocaine too, still use occasionally but very controlled.

Dose- will get back to you on that, just picked them up and left them in the truck.

Street drugs- Alot of alcohol, semi-occasional cocaine use, weed nearly every day. Very occasional Ex.

Never been on an anti-depressant before. I coulda used one during a stint in the military (from which I was booted for various reasons) but there was a certain....stigma to it, avoided it.

I was on it by itself and also in conjunction with Abilify
it made me feel restless, I gained weight, and lost interest in sex, with no aide in my depression
but in Zoloft's defense I don't tolerate excess serotonin very well, which is why Im now on Wellbutrin XL for depression and it is awesome, no loss in sex drive, weight loss, and it wiped my depression out cold!
 
its the cure for my depression and makes me not want to use ecstasy.. However, if i plan to wanna use E, i stop the treatment 2 weeks prior. No recreational value whatsoever.
 
hmm, you may want to consider "A lot of alcohol", taking this medication and heavy drinking is bound to be trouble. its a catch 22 sort of, i mean, are you drinking to self medicate? or is the drinking driving you to medication...?

pot has different effects on every one, but this is also something to consider, especially combined with alcohol.

you say occasional cocaine use, i hope thats the case, but im sure you are aware of mood swings and thought pattern/demeanor heheh alterations. id be concerned you may get more into the cocaine and alcohol, as the medication could make you feel, idk, boring. from there you could seek great ups, downs and all arounds.. you know?


what seems best, is to be honest with your doctor, if you want out of this depression/misery and be honest about the drugs, seriously, especially the booze and bud. now a psych i saw for several years, and who prescribed me 4mgs risperdol, actually blew off a joint or two a day. i also told him i used ecstacy, with large spaces in-between doses(for all logical reasons) and he shrugged that off also. the alcohol he was more concerned about, and for goood reason.

this is important, because of the catch 22 described above.

nowww dont think, "man im not taking that shit", because you fear booting the booze :(...! that could be a great deal of why you are seeking help, and so to continue would be against your inner sense that has brought you here. to continue drinking would be totally redundant.

more people then i can imagine use and abuse this combo, but what striking is the percentage of bi-polar patients who do.

i was a beer guzzling cocaine maniac for a great portion of my life heheh, and then after 24-25 years of doctors, diagnoses, many many different meds - i took some lithium, and my life changed, and when i finally stopped drinking.. i just couldnt imagine letting that stuff in my body again, bleh.


sorry, do your eyes hurt? :p


im just curious - did you do a search here?
if so, did you find anything helpful?
 
Zoloft just made my depression worse and made me even more suicidal than before. Granted I was only 16, and they only prescribe it for people over 18 now, but I think I'd of had the same reaction.

Recently no antidepressant has worked for me recently by itself, Abilify added on is what has really kept my severe depression at bay.
 
I took it for some time and did not care for it what so ever. . fake Happiness is right. . . it made me drowsy all the time and had some other negative feelings. It ruined my high with weed. IN most cases it with weed made me uncomfortable in public for it made me too high. But each person is different. Sooo overall not effective.
 
ive taken zoloft, but it is not my favourite ssri. this is mainly because it did nothing to help my psychological state and the brain shocks & electric shock & fatigue symptoms were really severe for me during withdrawal. i also got very emotional & moody when i was coming off it.

youre gonna have to can your ecstasy use id guess, its pretty much impossible to roll and a complete waste of money to buy mdma while on an ssri.
 
Yes, it is the worst SSRI (IMO), worst side effects, (sexual side effects, hairloss, twitching), i wouldnt recommend this. But everyone reacts differently to all SSRIs. Give it a shot
