Every person reacts to medications differently. I was fine on Zoloft, while my friend took one pill and had a massive panic attack and passed out.
You are the best person to decide whether a particular medication is right for you or not. It can take a long time to find the right one.
I tried for two and a half years, never found one, and turned to natural medicine instead. Once I did that, it only took a couple of months to get better.

Answer 2

seraquel. It gave me a hard on

Answer 3

I've never tried zoloft, but I was not very fond of seraquel. You may want to ask about lexapro. It is good for depression and anxiety with a low occurance of side effects. That is what I am taking now after having major problems with paxil.

Answer 4

seroquel makes you very tired and is not really for depression...it's for schizophrenia and mania

zoloft is for depression and is the typical SSRI that will make you worse if you are bipolar... and some people have sexual dysfunction on zoloft (cant finish...)

Answer 5

Every time you take a synthetic drug that is designed with a toxic half life, an LD50... it causes a nutritional deficiency so it appears as side affects.

My niece was on Zoloft at age 12 for general anxiety. The side affect caused her to be hormonally out of balance. She was then put on Paxil, the side affects of that cause Bi Polar, so by the time she was 19, she was on Paxil and Neurontin which is an anti seizure medication but the psychiatrist was wanting to take the edge off the Paxil and that was his reason for putting her on Neurontin. Just quitting Neurontin can throw someone into a seizure who's never had seizures.

Sadly, she watched her mother who has depression go into seizures from drug interactions from properly prescribed drugs.

Basically, my niece who witnessed her mothers' problem, didn't really know that the drugs she was taking were going to make her worse. Before she knew it, she was a 19 year old who ended up being a dysfunctional zombie who never got out of bed until 5 pm in the late afternoon and couldn't hold a job or finish school.

With nutritional supplementation and getting her eating habits back on track and getting her to stop self medicating with marijuana and smoking cigarettes, we managed to get her off of all medications and she is now drug free, no medications, and holding a job and living in her own place and paying rent.

A normally functioning and creative young woman.

I repeat, she is living a normal life medication free, because when the body achieves balance with what is "missing" in the modern diet... there is no room for brain dysfunction or disease.

I don't trust psychiatrists, they are like making friends with a cobra. They do not practice nutrition, they treat the brain like it's a car part that is cut off from the gut... and they offer drugs based on observation. Bottom line? It's best guess not best test. The blood they draw is to check your liver enzyme levels to see how much you can take before you overdose. They do not check your blood for a chemical imbalance.

In fact, there is no science proving that depression, bi polar, shitzophrenia, etc.. are a chemical imbalance. Why??? Because, it's NOT a chemical imbalance. It's based on observation, junk science and years of big pharmaceuticals making millions off of driving teenagers to shoot each other and cause massive suicides.

Except for one psychiatrist who worked for the US Governement studying classified files of SSRI drugs and how they caused people to go into mania and murder their children. This web site says "It's not your fault, your drug may be your problem" by a psychiatrist at http://www.breggin.com

Answer 6

I will always speak out against Seroquel. I was on it for several months and I had some bad side effects. I ended up with a seizure disorder, one of the rare potential side effects of Seroquel. The suffering I have endured because of taking Seroquel cannot be put into words. It has cost me the ability to work, to learn how to drive and has limited me in so many ways. I think of it as a poison pill. In fact I caution everyone who takes SSRIs because they all have the potential to cause some very nasty side effects and doctors don't make you aware of that possibility.

Good luck...
