I used to take zoloft at 50mg and I suffered severe insomnia, so I was put on low dose sleeping pills. It helped. But that was my only side effect. Good Luck! I hope you get better.
I think anti-depressants can be very helpful when needed. I took Serzone for a period of six months about six years ago and started to have major stomach problems. I've tried many anti-depressants (prescribed by psychiatrist). Unfortunately, most of them seem to attack my stomach. One of the reasons for the use of anti-depressants was to help with my IBS and all my other health problems. Celexa seems to helpful for many people with stomach problems. I caution anyone (who has stomach problems) that anti-depressants side affects are known to cause stomach problems and they affect those of us with pre-existing conditions more easily. However, the side effects can become tolerable as the drug builds in your system. I am not a doctor so I can only relay my personal experience with anti-depressants. I've been told that they are other anti-depressants such as impramine (I know I've spelled it incorrectly) can help with IBS. It's an older AD (tricyclic) that's rarely used today, though. Good Luck.
I started on Zoloft Sunday. Took it again Monday and all I have gotten is the worst diarrhea ever. Has anyone else experienced this? I hear allot of good about Zoloft but am scared to continue it if it leads to constant diarrhea.
Celexa did not control my moodswings as well as Zoloft, however, I heard it is the best for having sexual desires again. Zoloft is so so - for me Prosac was the worst. I think all of these drugs have some effect on six drive. I do like the Zoloft the best.
Good luck!
