> Would like to hear pros or cons on Zoloft. Will be starting this in two weeks along with the BuSpar that I am already taking. I don't want the emotional blunting again or weight gain. What about it guys? Thanks GloriaI just started it 3 weeks ago. At first I found a major decrease in my appetite, (which I became rather fond of)! But once it settled into my system I found my appetite increased a bit. But it is still significantly less than what my usual appetite is...so I believe I will still lose weight while taking it. I am very happy on it. It is the first time in almost 2 months that I am thinking clearly. I lost my full term baby boy (my 3rd son) on 9-30-99 and had fallen into a kind of post traumatic stress disorder with total anxiety. This was such a relief to go on the zoloft. I feel like a new person...I am still sad over my baby of course. But now I can process my grief in a less obsessive and destructive way. I am thankful to have it. I was on 50mg for the first 3 weeks and my doctor just bumped me up to 100 mg today. And I am sleepy now and it is only midnite.(I was having severe insomnia..staying up till 4am sometimes) So I believe I now might have the proper dosage. Give it a chance.
Hugs,
tammy
