First, I went with Paxil, which was great for my PTSD, but found that my emotions felt very "blunted" and more disturbing was losing my appetite completely. Never feeling the sense of hunger anymore. I still ate, of course, but it was never enjoyable. I found this side effect to be very annoying but stuck it out for 8 weeks with it. I then decided this feeling of losing the feeling of hunger was enough to stop this medication and my provider agreed. It made me realized how awful this feeling must be to those suffering with cancer or another serious illness - losing your appetite...I never realized how terrible it can be. Right now I am 8 weeks or so on Zoloft. My appetite now normal but at 25 mg. I feel it's not working well enough to control my terrible anxiety/PTSD. In 2 weeks scheduled to increase it to 37.5 mg. (I am very sensitive to all medications now). But a possible odd side effect - which is uncommon, but can occur, although my provider says "no"...I have a constant pressure in my ears starting 4 weeks after starting this drug. Beyond painful at times. Seeing ENT and taking it from there...so my question to anyone on Zoloft & reading my post is - did you/or have ear problems since starting this drug?
