I have been on Zoloft 100mg. for a number of years. Before that I tried a lot of different antidepressants and the side-effects were horrible. I'm fairly stable on the Zoloft, but in really bad times it doesn't hold me. I went up to 150mg. once and I had diarrhea for six months and had to come off the Zoloft completely. I don't want to do that again. I haven't tried any of the newer antidepressants. In a group I was in I heard people say that Paxil cut off their sexual desire, and I don't want this. My friend was on one that she put on about 40 pounds, and I don't want this either. I read someone's note in here who said they had trouble sleeping on Zoloft. I thought it was the PTSD that kept me from sleeping. I don't sleep well at all. And I hate not being able to remember things, simple things. I used to be smart, now I don't know what I am. I want to be able to work again, which I am unable to do. Anybody in here with PTSD who might have news on something else I could ask my doctor about. He's open to suggestions, and so am I. Thanks.
