Have you taken zoloft?

Tell me a little about your experience, did it make you feel better?

I've never taken anything like this in my life, but I've just been feeling really overwhelmed, anxiety ridden, exhausted, crying a lot, irritable, etc.  I thought it was just the normal outcome of my new life with two children (and I guess it could be) but not sleeping has really made everything seem overwhelming. So I got over feeling ashamed about feeling this way, and called my OB and he prescribed this, saying it's safe while nursing.

Re: Have you taken zoloft?

  • I took it after both pregnancies.  With first pregnancy one of my twins was stillborn and the loss was really hard for me.  I also had really bad postpartum with both pregnancies.  I felt anxious, overwhelmed and like a failure about everything.

    I took Zoloft and it worked great for me.  I got my energy back, felt better about each day and was really able to plug in to my family.  I hope things start to get better for you.

  • I took it to treat my PPD after DS was born.  I nursed on it too.  It worked fine....no real side effects that I know of.  I also took Xanax as needed for anxiety.  GL!  Feel better!

  • I took it after DS1 was born and worked well.  I took it again after DS2 was born but wasn't sleeping then took Lexapro and I still wasn't sleeping.  I was put on Trazadone and then finally took myself off.  I hated that I couldn't sleep and drove me to tears!!!!  Hopefully after this pregnancy I will not have sleepin problems unrelated to the baby.  GL!!

  • On it now, and also nursing. It's considered the safest while nursing.

    i feel considerably better
