Alc makes you more dep zoloft sucks per a co worker who tried it try vitamin B therapy

U got it why bother the woman that I know who tried it spent months in rubber rooms to learn she was allergic to zlft the stuff blows

so you give up drinking for awhile or you dry up some so whats the alternative for you? ask yourself whats more important and I hope you say your mental health.. its a matter of a simple choice.. do the right thing so you can look back on it and say wow I made it through that..

my last BF was on ZoLoft .. hit me up on yahoo darlin ..

ya .. like I said .. I'll talk to you off of here

he did drink though, didn't seem to be much different except for the black outs

Yeah. You don't wanna be knockin' back the hooch when you're on Zoloft. There's no telling how nutty you can get.

Another anti-depression/anxiety/OCD drug out there is Pexeva, which is a newer medication. I dunno if the same alcohol warnings exist for that crap either, though.

Hey...

does anyone wanna buy some cheap "Zoloft?".

...jk.

There are a lot of antidepressents out there. Everyone has a different biochemistry. Sometimes you may have to try different ones until you find the one that helps you.

very true .. he ended up on a generic one that didn't do the same damage

I got some "Zoloft", going for 75...

can I get a 75, 75, 75, ....

I got a 75...

can I get an 80, 80, 80,

Will someone give me 80, 80, 80???

different reactions by different people..If 2 or more friends or family tell you you are not acting right then please get back to your doctor and carry one of them with to explain the changes they see...Any drug that affects the mood and brain chemestry can cause unwanted changes that the person taking it doesnt always realize

I didn't take Zoloft; it was a different anti-depressent, but here is my experience on it anyway:

Only you can tell how you are feeling, so for your doctor, it is pretty much a trial-and-error process to get the meds right. It might take a little bit of time to get things balanced correctly, but stick with it and you will feel so much better in the end. In my experience, a drink every once in a while didn't hurt, but I made sure that my body adjusted to everything before I attempted that.

My depression, while severe, was diagnosed as situational, so once the meds started working I was able to get a better sense of my life and the changes I needed to make, and after about 2 years, I was able to stop taking it. And yes, it was something that I discussed with my doctor before hand. I recommend seeing a therapist too, they can help you make informed descisions, and help you build your coping skills as well.

As for the sex drive:

Mine actually went up.

I think the improvement in my mood made a bigger difference than the side effect of the medication.

Now I just need to find someone to play with that will put up with my crazy a$$ self.

Good luck! It's not an easy decision.

Virgin Margaritas might be a good idea. To be honest, and as alcohol and meth have similar properties in terms of how it manipulates dopamine receptors, I wouldn't really recomend that you drink at all. Realisticly, and as you've been open about your addiction, it would be wise to let the antidepressant do its work without interference from alcohol.

Good point.

Your sooooooooo right about the alcohol...

and ive never been a serious drinker, and dont wanna become one either.

"THANK YOU" everyone for the input...

I really appreciate your love and concern.

Just remember...

depression is no match for luv2roknroll ...

im gonna kick its sissy @ss!

Zoloft is the Valium of the 70s.
Run with it. Get happy hehe.
Hey, can you email me a few?

No babe...

your fineness will have to come over and get them....heehee...naked.

Really sad when you figure that smoking a little weed will do more for your depression than Zoloft without all those nasty side effects. But then the pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be able to get rich from selling all these over-priced snake oils.

idk...i think antidepressants are a last source for depression.
i think they are overprescribed...

i would personally exhaust all kinds of other things before taking a med. any med.

also I hate it when docs prescribe a little pill like zoloft and dont exactly address the root of the problem. sometimes depression is truly only situational....or a phase...or a way of your body telling you you need to do something different.


btw...you've never seemed depressed when you post

Your right...

im not always depressed.

But I can easily work myself into being that way, by looking at my life,(or should I say whats left of it).I did meth for 25 years, and now, being clean, im focused on that sad fact, and it really sucks!I know I need to look at the future, and not stay in the past, but sometimes thats really hard to do....

and thats when I get depressed.

VIOLA!

I think my depression is definitely situational.
