Positive experiences
“The first 2 months were amazing. No thinking before every word. I just reacted, talked, did things. Pleasure. I could enjoy games, sunrises, weather. Anxiety gone. Woke up with energy no exhaustion.”
“a low dose of zoloft (50mg) has done wonders for my anxiety and ruminating thoughts. I feel more emotionally balanced.”
“Going to therapy and taking 50 mg of sertraline helped me manage my anxiety...when I was anxious, the craving for porn still won.”
“I'm currently taking 100mg of sertraline and 50mg of strattera and i would say my focus is way better than before and my ocd is lowered down too.”
“Zoloft makes you superhuman. Coupling that with ashwagandha makes me a mellow fucking dude. Ashwagandha also gives me back some of the focus I lose from zoloft!”
“SSRI's have worked for me. I was on Zoloft for a year but tolerance built up and now 225 mg does the trick but leaves me sleeping 15 hours a day.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“Zoloft changed everything. It gave me what felt like superpowers: hard erections and the ability to last up to an hour.”
“I'm meant to be on 75mg of zoloft but I only take 50mg because 75 causes migraines. ... the zoloft helped my panic disorder and ocd but if anything made my depression worse.”
“I *felt* best on Zoloft...but had absolutely zero libido. Guys also report similar difficulties cumming.”
“It's a side effect of Zoloft. It was prescribed to me for a while after my wife died... They actually prescribe Zoloft for people with premature ejaculation issues.”
“as much as it's somewhat lifted my mood I still struggle to stay awake throughout the day, can't focus and have no motivation.”
“I was feeling very happy on it, like the opposite of depression, it was great. Buuuuuuut it was death for my sex life.”
