Feeling out of control

I am a 46 yr old woman.I had cervical cancer in 2004 which led to a complete hysterectomy.Luckily I needed no more treatments after the surgery.I now feel like I have control but I have severe moods swings ,rage,and cry for no reason at all.Before this I was a very fun loving and outgoing person.I take 50mg of zoloft per day.It seems to keep me from going off the deep end.I lost my best friend of 40 years because I havent been myself for 7 years now.I have no libido at all.I have gained 60 lbs.This has made me very unapproachable to the people that love me .I am lost.Can someone help me before I push everyone away?

I would get a second opinion on your perscription to Zoloft.  It affects people in different ways,  you might need a lower dosage or you might need a different medication.  One that makes you feel like "you" again.  Talk to your doctor and if you don't like him/her get a new one.  There are plenty out there and some are so quick to write a perscription,

You need your hormone levels checked and Zoloft might not be the right thing for you.
