I just started zoloft for my anxiety and depression. Found your video. It breaks my heart to see such a young person with this mindset. I think you are a beautiful lady. Such beautiful hair and eyes. I hope you can find a fun hobby to be enthusiastic about....find some friends to lift you up! You are young and beautiful and so intelligent! I wished you could see yourself the way I see you. Praying for you! Sending my love.💓
A side effect of sertraline is feeling suicidal and anxiety getting worse in the first couple of weeks. That's why most people stop taking them, because they think it's not working. And to anyone that says they don't recommend Zoloft and that it's terrible, keep in mind it works differently with each person. Don't make someone think it won't work just because you had a bad experience, cause it might work wonders for someone else!
Angela but lets be honest, the ratio of people that say it works and doesn’t work is a dramatic scale. A lot of people have made reviews off sertaline and all she wants to do is warn other users. And if those are the “side effects” to sertaline, (which, might I remind is kinda what the medicine is supposed to cure), than you shouldn’t take it. I’m pretty glad that she documented her experience because now I’ll be prepared for if I really do get a bad experience from the drug. Or in other words just be prepared.
Halleloolahoop whoooah. Oookay bud, listen here. Firstly, I wasn’t even being shitty about it. And here you are claiming I don’t know shit and saying pretty much that I didn’t need to voice myself. All I was saying was I’m glad she gave her story and what it did for her so I might be prepared Incase the same thing happens to me while taking the drug. There was absolutely no reason for you to get shitty and act like the ass you did. I was still agreeing with her, because it might work wonders for me! But just Incase it doesn’t, I atleast know this and am somewhat more prepared and might visit the doctor sooner just Incase I start feeling the way she did.
Ive just started taking zoloft and decided to look up how people react but yours is by far the most relatable one. Ive always said that when I commit suicide that it'll be done right or i'll never hear the end of it from my family lol. It's just kinda nice to know i'm not alone in a sense. Hope it gets better for both of us!
Thank you so much! This is the exact reason i'm posting about it. Before taking medication i scoured youtube for videos of other peoples experiences and some were helpful but none told me everything I wanted to know. I hope your journey goes smoothly and you feel better quickly!
Wow watching this video made me depressed, triggered my anxiety 😞 I’m taking Zoloft 25’mg for slight depression & panic attacks but I feel like I’m getting depression more, I’m changing my diet, quit caffeine, sugar, alcohol... starting to workout again, so hopefully everything works out & prayers go out to you!!!! Depression ain’t no joke!
You are such a precious beautiful human being. I am praying for you....and believing that you will open your eyes to see the wonderful person that you truly are....a moonchild and a precious unique Child of the Living God. You are Loved and needed in this world....and you have SO much to give. You have helped others by opening your Heart and sharing your struggle. You will have a breakthrough. .....sorrow may endure for the night but Joy will surely come in the morning. Sending you Joy, Love and Peace of mind.
I'm so sorry you're going through all this! I hope you're feeling better soon! Antidepressants can be really tricky and finding the right one is really hard. Sometimes I think it's better not to take one, especially if they make you suicidal.
Anyone starting to take Seretraline listen to me.. I've been surfing with an anxiety disorder/Depersonalisation for nearly 2 years and I'm on my 3rd week with the meds.. the first week was hell my anxiety, depersonalisation, depression even hit me I nearly gave in but I got told if they give you bad anxiety,depression etc for the first few weeks it's a good sign so I continued to take them and I now feel a lot better like I can feel myself getting better after 2 years it's like I was dead for 2 years and finally coming back to life ! so please don't listen to every negative thought you hear on them.. the worse can happen they won't work and you'll try different ones but weather it out I did and it's worth it ! I went from getting 4+ anxiety attacks a weeks from getting only 1 in the last 3 weeks! Just keep going it will be for the better
I've watched a few of your videos and I just wanted to wish you the best and I hope you get out of your funk! There's no magic pill we have to do the leg work. Getting older sucks but life is beautiful, OR I should say it can be. I'm in my 30's lost my dad at 10 mom at 17 by 19 I officially had no Parents, no grandparents, and I was a Paul bearer at 5 different funerals. However I've tried to make the best of it all! I have a lovely wife and 3 healthy kids and I just keep going! Life is nothing more than what you make it! Be yourself! love yourself! and keep going if not for anyone else do it for you, because you can! F everybody else
I've been there. Love, there is hope, I promise you. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. Psalms 40:2
I went trough all the insomnia and suicidal thoughts from anxiety. But I hung in there and it worked. First tip, QUIT FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF! Then think about every body and everything around you. The blackness is bad but you combat it this way!
You're very brave. I've felt these same feelings for a little over two decades now, and I still haven't completely told anyone how bad it really gets. Its great to know that I'm not alone in this struggle, and that there are people who completely understand. The downside is that we have a hard time finding each other to talk about these things openly among each other. Sometimes it feels like the only people who can actually help are those that have been through it. I appreciate you so much right now!!!
Thank you. I'm so glad that I'm helping in any way. It really makes me feel so great seeing these comments. I really hope things get better for you. I know how difficult it is especially when you feel you have to hide to some degree. I appreciate your comment so much and hope you'll keep me posted if things start looking up for you, or even if things aren't. You can always come here and talk about whatever's going on. If you can't share it with someone in your life, share it here.
Don’t give up hun , I see complete strangers including me that cares about you , I’m going through the same , I had anxiety for quite a few years, the depression started lightly less then a year ago that progressed , i could have a complete shitty day but it was suggested I started going to the gym and believe it or not in really helps , it’s a great and healthy way to be distracted, I put my headphones on and crank some Metallica and I really feel better , I couldn’t believe how shitty I could feel but within the first 10 minutes I’m like in another world, I do this for the last few hours of my day then go home , have a chocolate protein smoothie and then crash , I still don’t sleep super good but I started taking CBD gummy bears that has melatonin and I wake up feeling pretty good considering how bad with the mix of depression and anxiety attacks I had . I’m praying you find some relief, take care sweetie , peace ✌️ .
Thank you so much for sharing! I think you're really brave sharing your journey, the ups and especially the downs! It's really helpful for me that you're doing this, as I'm only in week two of taking Zoloft. I'm sending all my love to you from the uk! Keep riding the lightening and we will do it together! ❤️
Lauren Eley thank you so much! The support means a lot. I’m so happy that I could be helpful to you. I hope your journey goes more smoothly than mine! Keep me posted on how it goes! ❤️
How is your husband doing now? You really want to be careful with those drugs as they are the cause of countless divorces. I don't know if he wanted a divorce before taking the meds, but they tend to make people unable to feel or give love, as well as kill their sex drive. This can lead to compulsive gambling (to get the dopamine rush they can't get through love/sex anymore). I'm not saying it's the case for your husband, but meds might only make things worse for him. Stay safe.
I started sertaline today and must say I am feeling really good, only with a slight headache. I recommend that you try to better other areas of your life as well and not just rely on the meds. I've begun meditating, reading self-help books, working out, and eating better, and I believe all of these things coupled with the help of sertaline is leading towards improvement of the mind
Frank Lopez I only took sertraline for 2 months before I felt I had improved enough to go off it. It definitely helped me deal with the day-to-day. If I hadn’t continued to better my mind and body through meditation, eating healthy, exercise, etc. then I’m not sure I would be in the state of content that I feel today. And Idk why you decided to go on a tirade about America when this is about depression, but I will say I’m proud to be American
I take this stuff and I feel amazing like on top of the world and a little euphoric, I sometimes get random bursts of happiness too and that’s on 100mg I love the stuff! Don’t give up keep looking and taking different medications till you find your one as 1 year ago I felt like life wasn’t worth anything and I felt numb and now I feel so much more and am so happy! Don’t give up its achievable :)
I’ve been taking Zoloft for about 3 months now, and at first it helped me a lot. Very motivated, and happy for once. After about a month I could no longer remember anything, it’s like the passed 15 years have been a dream, like it never happened. Depressive episodes are way more intense than they used to be. Terrible medication and I wouldn’t recommend for anyone
trinity chraplewe, hi Trinity, can you remember those past 15 years now? I was prescribed Zoloft for PTSD, but I'm researching the product before taking it, please contact me in regards to any side effects. I pray that you get better, God bless.
trinity chraplewe hey SAAAAAAME, I’m taking Zoloft for my anxiety and panic attacks but it’s been a month in so fat & now I’m getting depressed all of a sudden fml
Wow, you are strong for going through this and sharing your experience. Thank you. I am on zoloft week 3 after 3-4 years of being unmedicated. I'm experiencing the same symptoms as in it worked at first and now it's not as much. Hope you are well.
Thank you so.much for sharing your thoughts. You are an amazing beautiful person and I am wishing you all the best and prayers are with you x❤ Just took my first tablet today. 4th type of anti depressant after trying a natural approach for 4 weeks. I became progressively worse. I pray this works for me. Your videos have given me hope. God bless you on your journey x
I feel as though a lot of this has to do with mindset. Yes you can take a medication for depression but it won't make you happy, it'll just remove the really intense depressive feelings. Changing your mindset allows you to grow and work with the medication. Choose to be happy, the medication allows you to even have happiness as an option.
I am currently going through the same thing and I truly hope you’re ok , we can all get through this together. I feel that people don’t talk enough but it’s ok to not be ok! If anybody wants another view on sertraline I have just started posting similar progress. 💚
I relate to 3 weeks feelings so much I’ve been suffering from depression for a year now without feeling true happiness anytime throughout the whole year really... I’ve been on Zoloft for about 2 months now and haven’t noticed any improvement. Have been on countless other anti depressants as well, horrible side effects
Poor babe I hoper you're ok. I been there wish i could assure you with something tangible instead of just a bunch of words to tell you that it will get better but it does you just got to keep fighting for yourself no one can make you fight for yourself sweetheart.
Omg! I am in this exact place. My dr.gave me Zoloft today. Your so beautiful and you truly make me (32yr old woman with a husband and 2 kids) feel like I'm not alone. I hope it works out for us. She started me on 50mg. I start tomorrow. 💗💗💗 high hopes.
My heart breaks for you.....probably cuz I see myself in you to some degree as well.....much love and healing....I hope you're well as you can be today.
I just started Zoloft today. I’m going to be at 25mg for a week then I’ll start 50mg for a month. Your video is the most recent that looks like a real person and not some RU-vid official telling you how bad the meds are
What is your diagnosis? Maybe you need a new diagnosis, my ex was the same way you are and was diagnosed with bpd. Anti depressants/anti anxiety meds SSRI's alone made him worse. I just started my zoloft again, it's been 1 years off and seem to be doing fine, minus the dry mouth and dizziness. I hope things get better, sorry the meds aren't working for you.
I am starting Lexapro for anxiety not depression,I used Zoloft years ago and seriously it gave me suicidal thoughts ,and I NEVER had such thoughts ,nor I have them now.
Hiya , Thanks so much for making this video , life is bloody hard , just wanted to say your awesome 😊 sorry things are shitty for you at the moment. Life sucks I've got a history of self harming and other crap. Can I ask if are you still trying the sertraline please or something new ? Thanks again for making the video😊
you should try psychedelics. 1 LSD trip cured my depressions back in 2016. I still take meds for my anxieties, but depression was pretty much gone for the last 2 years. Currently thinking bout taking a new trip, cause I do feel depressed and stressed again.
I tried psilocybin truffles (15g) and the positive feelings remained for around a week. Then i had a bad day and they didn't return... wondering whether to try them again? The only issues are my sleep is screwed for the following days after taking them. Weird lucid dreams, not even sure if I am asleep or im dreaming of myself being awake in my room, if that makes any sense. But the feeling after taking them is just fantastic haha
Your videos are so relatable. I have been experiencing a lot of these problems. I don’t want to die I’m just hopeless and I want the pain to stop. Is that how you feel?
I'm trying 100mg but I've tried 50 for a while and in general I don't feel much relief with Zoloft so it's hard to say if it's actually doing anything worthwhile and I have a side effect of an unrelenting feeling like ants are eating my brain or my brain is held in a vice and an electric current running through it which needless to say I'm not very pleased about. I've tried other antidepressants over the years and to be honest this Zoloft is the one I least dislike but it just doesn't feel like it's doing it for me, something just not right about it, so I think I may give up on it soon or just keep it for the odd occasion when I'm in a desperate low as together with a diazepan it's does get me a bit stoned and takes the edge a little off the suffering at the worst times. Sleep is the only real rest bite or reading to take my mind away or if I have the energy to go out for a quiet countryside cycle. but yeah in general I'm also currently daily feeling ever sucked down and under.
geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz Have you tried marijuana? It is literally the best medicine I could ask for. It helps me for depression/anxiety/insomnia, everything. Not sure your views on it but I promise you won’t regret it
Used to smoke it years ago and really enjoyed it before it got stupid strong. If it was legal here I think I would definitely try it but I can't smoke with asthma (I got pneumonia and was nearly toast a few years back & have asthma since). I do use tobacco snuff (boosts the dopamine some) and even that is better than Zoloft which I have just stopped trying now. I think there should be some sort of hash based treatment but as long as those big pharma antidepressant scammers are in control and making to much money from peoples misery then it ain't gonna happen which is a big shame. Actually I'm out of my depression/anxiety/stress trough for the moment and cycled about 30 miles yesterday but I'm wrecked and pretty red from the sun this morning. I even modified my bike when I returned to make a more aero and comfortable riding position but I'm to wreaked to get out for a proper test but amazed at the result so far and how my engineer brain thinks and comes up with a creative solution. I've never seen a basic bike set up like this before so if it works I'm sure others will be looking at it. I've sort of converted it to a cross between a tourer and time trial bike. It makes me laugh at how I came up with it so laughing is good medicine, if you can find something to laugh about and Zoloft isn't very funny. I agree with your suggestion and I had even thought of that myself but it's the smoking and not knowing what you are getting plus the illegality that I haven't gone and got some. I was/am even considering the non-high cannabis oil that seems to be big in the news at the moment but I think it's still illegal here (UK) also. I don't actually think the governments want people to be well and Zoloft is just a toxic chemical lobotomy design to create obedient drone zombies.
geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz I have been on 50 mg for almost 2.5 months. I take it in the morning and within an hour I am super jittery. My brain feels cloudy and I really have no interest in doing anything. I force myself to go to the gym and run errands. I can't nap during the day because I feel like I can't sit still long enough. So frustrating.
Hi Amy. Been getting some pretty bad anxiety (it's awful) this last while and I'm just always super knackered (I can nap like the dead, nothing much to get up for) and struggle to get anything much done in a day. I think it's chronic fatigue probably from all the energy required for anxiety? I'm a bit in recovery today though as it's calmed down some by itself but I'm quite a way from any vitality and as yet I have no solution but I've been referred to a mental health group so will see if that helps. No Zoloft/Valium today just my tobacco snuff though I read now that it's supposed to be bad for depression and anxiety so sometimes I'm wondering if I would be better without it but it's my sort of crutch and it does bring some temporary relief though I don't recommend anyone start taking it and get nicotine addicted but it's useful for stopping smoking and I need one vice at least so better something roughly as dangerous as coffee which is also bad for anxiety etc so I have cut down on that. Maybe try half a tab 25mg Amy and see if that eases up the jitteryness or take it in the evening a few hours before bed? I still sometimes take 25mg and it seems best for me in the evening when I'm winding down but I took none today. Don't feel I need it or it would be any good but on another day I might feel that it might help though I know they tell you to take it regularly. I still will tell the doctor that I don't think it's great or much use for me. With asthma it's simpler. I take the inhalers and they work pretty well. Simple. But with these mind drugs it's another story. Not so simple at all. When I'm really anxious/stressed/depressed it's like nothing can stop it so I just lie in bed feeling very crap but I did force myself to go for a walk somewhere nice and quiet with no people, just nature, yesterday and I did feel it calming me down after a while so that seems to work for me.
Hi Moonchild, please contact me in regards to taking Zoloft and your depression, my God it's heartbreaking to see this. I pray our Lord Jesus heals you of these problems.
If you fell sad, hopeless, angry and depressed, then fix your life not your body. You feel sad for a reason and it's definitely not because you have a chemical imbalance. Being sad and depressed is normal, life is shit sometimes. Dealing with that shit without cheating your body with a drug is what with make you feel happy. If you feel happy while on the pills, then you haven't fixed your sadness because the cause is still there.
There is no excuse to kill anyone nor yourself. You need to find life and something interesting for the first time in ur life unless ur trolling us like seriously
