Advice & Tips
I tapered down over 6 or 8 weeks to finally stop taking this, and significantly altered my life at the same time - journalling, listening to relaxation tapes, cutting out caffeine, going to acupuncture once a week, gentle exercise and time in the garden, going to bed early.

Advice & Tips
The initial side effects can be quite strong and make you feel worse - you can have a racing heart, and not be able to sleep very well - it can make you jumpy. These go away quickly however - it took ten days for me. I am now much much more productive than I was when I was diagnosed - much more able to cope with life.

Advice & Tips
I did find that I was less "suicidal" taking this medication but these feelings were still present and had to call for help on a few occasions. It did help my OCD in the slightest form. It did not however help my mood

Advice & Tips
I was originally prescribed Prozac which I felt did wonders for me. I had excessive energy, lost a lot of weight but was jittery so my doctor (and eventually consultant) prescribed Escitalopram, eventually Sertraline. I find that I still have OCD and this has not decreased in any shape or form. My depression seems to be under control at the moment but I have attempted suicide twice over the last month.

My doctor felt that there was a complication the Geodon and Zoloft were competing against each other and that the exacerbation of my MS symptoms and difficulty walking were enhanced because of this.

Advice & Tips
I started Zoloft originally in January 23, 2007, however since it worked so well, I went off of it in March 2009. This was the biggest mistake of my life. My anxiety went from being almost gone to worse than i was actually diagnosed. As a result I ended up in the hospital's psych ward, and eventually a year later a doctor finally prescribed me zoloft again, and i began taking it again. I've had no complaints since besides minor insomnia.
