Does Anyone Have Any Personal Experience With Sertraline/zoloft? Good Or Bad?
My HIV specialist put me on a dose of sertraline and I am just curious about what to expect , as I dont usually use antidepressants. In my case I have severe cptsd & social anxiety that ive already been addressing , but feel hopeful this might help me out more.
@A myHIVteam Member Welcome to capitalism in the USA, where money buys political influence. Many people don't feel like politics affects their lives at the local level. Nothing could be further from the truth.
@A myHIVteam Member. The serotonin antidepressants are easy to take, and are the least problematic of the antidepressants. MAOIs and tricyclics predated them, and tended to be more problematic. I have a long history of tricyclics and SSRIs, plus the serotonin and norepinephrine drugs like Cymbalta, and dopamine increasing agents like Wellbutrin. I think the easiest and safest of these drugs are Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro. Not Paxil. That's what I take, and it is difficult to stop. Zoloft is great for anxiety. If you feel sedated (and I'm not saying you will) I agree with Brad3 that a serotonin and norepinephrine drug would be a good next step. Good Luck 🍀
I’ve been on Zoloft gave me brain fog I’m on cymbalta no brain fog and makes me relaxed plus my doctor prescribed me Xanax for anxiety which really works well but very addictive
@A myHIVteam Member. Gold is a commodity like any other. Its price goes up and down, just like gasoline. All that matters is what you buy it for, and what you sell it for... buy low, sell high, ideally. The opposite can happen just as easily, depending on the circumstances under which you sell. Usually, you are buying in good times, selling in bad... and that lack of choice when selling is what bites you in the @$$.
Dave283 your answer could cause an uproar on here to some lol however I like to look at all sides of the equation. I know Biden,Obama,Clinton,and the younger bush did something even if it was small to help with funding for hiv. Without funding we are screwed because this disease and many other diseases it’s all amount money. As for trump he is the least scary out of most republicans that would like to put us on an island and watch us die.i don’t think trump is anti gay however I’m looking out for my best interests in who’s gonna keep me alive the longest so until trump says something about hiv and the current initiative to have hiv controlled by 2030 I’m sticking with Biden. But I respect your opinion and your courage to stand by your man especially on this site which I believe would be more inclined to be more for democrats I could be wrong it won’t be the first time I was wrong
