In reply to Zoloft side effects, posted by Maxime on October 12, 2007, at 18:16:48
Hey, Girlfriend -- Zoloft is my favorite of the SSRIs, and the only one I'd take again at this point. Some initial GI side effects, in the first couple of weeks, but after that there was virtually no problems for me. Except apathy and emotional blunting, which can sometimes be a good thing. Initially, I lost weight on it, and over six or so months I probably did gain a little, but NOTHING like on any other medication. (And remember -- I was also in treatment for my ED, AND getting fertility treatments. In fact, I know I gained some weight when the fertility doctor said I was too thin to conceive.)
Overall, in terms of side effect profile for me, Zoloft was far and away the best of the SSRIs.
I hope that helps. I also hope to see your name in my email...
xoxo
