I'm starting Zoloft tomorrow and I'm kind of nervous about it.................drugs in general freak me out so much and I'm afraid of the effect they'll have on my mind and body. I wouldn't have gone on it all but my girlfriend insisted and she's been so much since she started her anti-depressants.

at first you WILL feel very tired and want to sleep early. because of this i recommend getting in the habit of taking it at night because it'll seriously mess up morning routines. after a week or two, however, this will wear off and you'll get used to it! also, you won't feel any changes until then, although you might find yourself wanting to do weird stuff like talk more or eat a really specific thing. when i first got on it i randomly had an outburst during spanish class in HS, it was embarrassing but at least no one noticed bc it was already loud in there LOL
regarding bodily effects outside of sleepiness: it really does not do much besides maybe increase frequent visits to the bathroom or a slightly parched mouth for a little bit. i recommend eating before taking it as it may upset an empty stomach, + drink LOTS of water with it and during the day too.
it really will not hurt you, and your starting dose should be pretty small. my psychiatrist didn't even give me my full dose until after those 2 weeks, which helped my body adjust to it.
in the end, please remember this will help you more than it'll hurt you! i promise you that you will feel a lot happier and better! i hope this helped a little!
hi lovely!! i can definitely help you with this one, i've been using zoloft for i think 5/6 months now! of course keep in mind everyone experiences different effects but here are the general stuff:I'm starting Zoloft tomorrow and I'm kind of nervous about it.................drugs in general freak me out so much and I'm afraid of the effect they'll have on my mind and body.

19, she/he pronouns ONLY. Barely on the site anymore so don’t bother. Please don’t interact with me if we aren’t friends, it makes me incredibly uncomfortable and anxious.
+ remember to always contact the person who assigned this medication if it really does mess you up, but this is not likely at all. zoloft helps a lot of people including me! i have yet to meet someone who got seriously messed up from this medication, it's usually great for dealing with depression.
if you have any questions let me know!!

I, Gnorman the tall Gnome, have been hanging onto my sanity by a thread for 6 years.
Okay so my mom found my new tattoo and she's pretty upset,, i don't really understand this because it's my fucking body and all that but she says that if i get another one then she is going to stop paying for my college and kick me out. the primary issue here is that i actually DO have another one that she hasnt found yet on my ribs.. and im not really sure what to do about this. do i hide it?? forever??? i think it's kind of my only option but this is stressing me out augh being home puts me in a foul mental state
