Zoloft helpful?

My general physician increased me to a dosage of 150 mg/day after only 4 weeks. I couldn't stand that "fuzzy" feeling or walking around basically stoned out of my mind. I found it much easier to change the aspects of my life that were causing my depression rather than relying on chemicals. I found that instead of making me feel "good" or "better"..it left me with no feeling at all.

I always wondered about Zolofot because I have depression but I'm not taking anything for it. That's my worry that if I get perscribed something its just going to make me feel numb and zomby like.

Zoloft blocks the chemical in your brain that causes anxiety from connecting to receptors. Eventually, I would go about my day in a high-stress corporate environment not feeling a thing. I would make decisions with very little thought or rationalization and without thinking about consequences. I ending up quitting cold turkey.

I have experienced that "fuzzy" feeling from Zoloft, too. I only take 50mg and am going to try to lessen the dosage. Originally it helped me with a busy life as a student, employee and mother for a couple of years. I had crippling panic attacks and needed to get past it, which Zoloft helped me do. But now, I'm done with school, am a stay-at-home mom and have my own direct selling business with my own hours. So...I think I'm ready to scale the dosage back (even though it's not much to begin with) and see what happens. I just don't want the panic to come back!

I've taken Zoloft before, I was on 100mg and it was not helping me out at all

Wow, 150mg seems really high. I took it at 20mg and it helped somewhat, I guess. I never could determine if it was a placebo effect or not. But it really didn't help for the prescribed purpose (bulimia, not depression) so I stopped taking it.
