YOU DON'T HAVE WORKING AC IN YOUR CAR?!

I'm interested to know what the "breaking through the zoloft barrier to lose some weight" means. I have taken zoloft in the past and wondered if it was just me, or did it affect my appetite and energy level? In a good way?

Thanks for the tag!

Ugh, Zoloft has KILLED my metabolism. I've gained 40lbs since going on it!! It doesn't seem to matter much what I do, or how little I eat - the weight stays. In fact, I had to cut my dosage waaay back in order to stop gaining, so now I'm taking a less than I probably need, but enough to take the edge off my OCD.

My name is Stephen Long and i would like to show you my personal experience with Zoloft.

I am 40 years old. Have been on Zoloft for 2 years now. Zoloft certainly got rid of my depression and anxiety. It also helped me with sleeping and I did not gain any weight like others have. However I was younger when I tried this so perhaps my metabolism worked differently then. It was impossible to reach orgasm on this drug so I would sometimes delay taking my drug to give my body a mini wash out period and this helped. However, if I waited too long to take the tablet, I endured severe headaches and had to lie down. Fortunately, this was reversible as soon as I took the drug again. I eventually tapered off this drug thanks to my doctor's plan which worked perfectly. The main reason I gave up Zoloft is because at the time there were reports saying that long term use of it was dangerous.

I have experienced some of these side effects -
Sweatiness, loss of libido, EXTREME headaches if forget to take drug.

I hope this information will be useful to others,
Stephen Long
