Tell me about zoloft.

[satama]

So, my OB called in an Rx for me today because my PPA/PPD seems to be increasing rather than decreasing. Any tips, advice, experience regarding taking zoloft? I don't have an in person appt for two weeks.

I mainly want to know what side effects I might expect and if I can still have a glass or two of wine.

crazymeds is a good site and they have drug-specific forums.

I was nauseous for the first few days, but it kicked in pretty quickly--3 or 4 days. I am so glad I went on it. I feel great.

ETA: I started on 50mg, which is what I take now.

Thanks guys. I am starting on 25, then working up to 50, then my doctor said we can reevaluate at that point.

Jenny, do you drink at all on it? I mean when not pregnant.
I really will be bummed if I cant have an occasional glass of wine.

[Brie]

Not Jenny, but I have a beer or glass of wine 3-4 nights a week and it's been fine.

I can't have more than one glass of wine or one beer, it makes me feel really intoxicated really fast.

I <3 zoloft. Have been on it since 2008 and it's done amazing things for me. No initial side effects that I remember.

Ok, thanks again everyone. I wasn't able to pick up my Rx today anyway because we had too much going on with Halloween, so I am going to have some wine tonight as a last hurrah, then wait a couple of weeks before trying a glass.

I was hesitant to take meds while breastfeeding, even though I know it is considered safe, or I would not have waited this long to start.

I took 25 mg a day, with no side effects, except I couldn't O. (TMI sorry).

But, it worked wonders for me, and kicked in in just a few days. I asked my ob about drinking, and he said it was fine in moderation.

I hope it helps! I am off of it now, but I was very very thankful for it when I needed it.
