Zoloft

I was prescribed Zoloft for Anxiety Disorder several years ago. Afterwards, a friend introducted me to another approach that has solved my Anxiety issues and allowed me to be free of a approach such as Zoloft. I still remain a client. Try Nutriessentials. Are you depressed???? If your doctor has prescribed it, and you have any of the various depressive or anxiety disorders it is a very good idea to take Zoloft. Even people who prefer not to take drugs find it gives them the start they need to be able to continue on with other methods in the future. At a certain point in these illnesses, it is very hard to recover without some drug assistance to boost the brain chemicals to an acceptable level. The difference it can make to lives is worth the effort, although it will not work for everyone. The time you need to be on it varies as to how low your levels are, but it is not addictive or mind altering in the same way the old style depression medications were. Even so, you cannot stop taking it suddenly.

yes... they are both selective seretonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's) and work in the same manner. Pay attention to possible allergic reactions though, as the chemical structure is slightly different. see label.

Astra Zenaca is the only pharm company who makes this medication The Generic name for Seroquel is "Quetapine Fumerate" and is made by other companies, however their quality and bioavailbilty may not be as good as the true manufacturer which is Astra Zeneca.

The exact mechanism of Zoloft is unknown, but it is believed to increase the extracellular level of the neurotransmitter serotonin by limiting its reabsorption into the presynaptic cell.

Yes, Zoloft, which is the brand name for sertraline, is a psychotropic drug. It belongs to the class of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and is commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. By affecting serotonin levels in the brain, Zoloft influences mood and emotional state, making it a key medication in psychiatric treatment.

bad drug interactions. bad as in death. stop taking Prozac if your not depressed. if you are depressed, never take ecstasy. it will just make you more depressed. i know a kid who killed himself the day after taking ecstasy.

Hello, Dertraline can not effect a pregnancy test result. Only medication containing HCG will effect a pregnancy test result. I am sorry but I do not know is this will effect your cycle. Please note this is advice only & is not meant to be used in place of a medical experts.

Other than the normal side effects, there really is nothing.

If you take it daily, over time you might see some changes.

If you just take it once, and aren't taking a lot of it, then nothing will happen. (Unless you are on other medication or drugs).

It is never a good idea to take a medication after its expiration: the active ingredient may have broken down making it less effective and/or producing harmful degradation products with unknown effects.

I am currently breastfeeding my 6 month old child and have started taking 100mg of zoloft daily. It was prescribed by my Internal Med doctor for anxiety and insomnia. She says that it is safe for breastfeeding moms and their babies. Please check with your own doctor first!

yes

Yes, but be forewarned that steroids can exacerbate the symptoms that Zoloft normally treats.

50 - 300 mg day - but no more than 400 mg day

No.

Zoloft (sertraline) isn't a narcotic. It's an antidepressant.

These two drugs should be safe to take together. To be sure that this is a good combination of medications for you, check with your doctor.

You can go tanning but you might burn easier or get a rash. I found out after going tanning on a few occassions I have broken out and then eventually gotten sun burnt and never increased my time of 10 minutes and I take Zoloft regularly. Not everyone has this reaction though so you might luck out.

My doctor told me Zoloft would help me lose weight when she prescribed it for depression, but it has had the exact opposite effect on me; I have been gaining weight and was so leveled off I was almost emotion free so I went off it cold turkey and am not so hungry but am anxious, achy, tired and irritable. I have noticed a desire to be more active and busy and am also able to focus. I had an awful time with constipation and lack of sex drive..none of which I was told might happen.

Yes, you can.

Researchers have found that a small percentage of women taking 20 mg of fluoxetine daily report a lengthening or shortening of their menstrual period of up to four days. But the antidepressant seems to have a beneficial effect on pre-menstrual syndrome symptoms.

It depends on a number of things, including body weight, drug interactions, and the body's reaction to the dose. The LD (fatal amount) in animals is 250mg/kg. So at 1400mg/body weight in kg it's less likely, though still possible to fatally overdose. Signs of overdose include severe ataxia, coma, decreased heartbeat, decreased state of consciousness, rolling eyes, and seizures.

Even if this does not happen, due to the OD, you're still at elevated risk for SJS, which is fatal in 5 to 35% of cases. If the SJS spreads it becomes TEN which has an even higher mortality rate.

So yes, while unlikely, a 1400mg dose of Lamictal can kill you.

this is definitely a question you should consult with your doctor.

im not quite sure if an antidepressant and an antibiotic would react, but its not the kind of thing to leave to chance.

Ive been taking xanax and zoloft for a little over a month and i take them together at times. Ive noticed minimal changes but not adverse affects of taking the two together. I take em together when im having a really bad day

Answer

Check with your pharmacist. Finally, check in with the doctor who prescribed the drugs. If they were not ordered for you, don't take them!
