In reply to ZOLOFT for OCD?, posted by chess on September 22, 2005, at 17:04:56
I went on Zoloft initially for anxious post-partum depression and was on it for 6 years. I think it helped with both anxiety and a generalized kind of perfectionism/obsessiveness (I don't have classic OCD). I was on some pretty high doses, though - 200 mg-300 mg - and eventually it seemed that it was dulling me - anergia, apathy, weight gain, memory loss, cognitive problems, and, after birth of second baby and sudden dose increase, anhedonia. Not comletely sure what of this is actually attributable to the Zoloft, but I'm pretty sure that some of it is. I've been completely off for about 12 days now, and anxiety and perfectionism may be returning.
