I was just prescribed Sertraline (also called Zoloft) 50mg for my anxiety.

Does anyone have any experience with this medication? Just wondering if its any good.

For me it's been a miracle drug. I was ready to give up and this medicine literally gave me my life back. I've been on it for 6 weeks with no complaints.

Worked wonders for me too. Don't take if you want to be satisfied sexually. You learn to live without.

The sexual side effect is that you're unable to reach orgasm as quick as before, so it's not THAT big of a deal. You just have to work at it or do it less often :)

I just had my dosage upped to 50 my last week and I am feeling much better although I still have some fatigue and headaches but you have to push through I hope it works as well for you as it did for me

Teddy1212 I was on a very low dose of 25 mg of Zoloft for 10 months and they upped it to 50 mg last week the headaches are the worst part for me

Weary, I have headaches as well, is the 50mg proving to be better for you?

I'm still on 25 right now since I just got back on. I was up to 150 the first time when I stopped taking it. I believe my anxiety is a result of a B12 and Vitamin D deficiency. I have no problems between April and November when I'm out in the sun but as soon as the days get shorter and it's cold outside I start getting panic attacks

I did the b12 complex vitamin for 6 yrs but could no longer handle the chest pains that is why I did the low dose of Zoloft ... It helped a lot

I'm on zoloft 100mg. It is very helpful for stopping my panic attacks but it does nothing for my depression. I actually like the lowered sex drive as a side effect.
