Any opinions about Zoloft or Sertraline?

Posted by mazel47 @mazel47, Sep 8, 2024

My husband passed away almost a year ago. I do feel a little depressed sometimes. My pcp has prescribed 50 mg sertraline. I have not taken it yet as I do not want to depend on medication. My doctor said I can take half of the pill. Does anyone have any side effects with Setraline

I have tried many antidepressants and always come back to Zoloft/Sertraline. It is well tolerated by the majority of people and when combined with Wellbutrin can be extremely effective.
I am sorry for your loss and I hope you take your Doctors advice. I used to take 100mg of Zoloft for many years and cut my dosage to 50 mg. I think that is the smallest dosage it comes in.
The stigma of depression and anxiety has finally been lifted. Many athletes and everyday people have been coming forth with their stories.
Good luck to you.

Thanks for the like. I hope it helps people on the site.
It is unfortunate it has taken celebrities and professional athletes to reduce the stigma. Even so let’s embrace the freedom to discuss it openly with people we love and friends. I just got back from Europe and they have a whole different attitude about depression and anxiety. It is a sign of strength to deal with it and not a sign of weakness.
Good luck to everyone on the site.
