How Zoloft (Sertraline) Works

This video describes how Zoloft or sertraline works. since sertraline is an antidepressant that belongs to the class called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), this overview can be extended to other medications in the same class like Prozac (fluoxetine), Paxil (paroxetine), Lexapro, and a few others.

    Currently on sertraline 25mg for my anxiety and ocd. I’m 34 years old and I can truly say that it has helped me immensely, I’ve had only positive thoughts. I’m the happiest I have ever been in my whole entire life. My mind is finally calm and quiet. 🙏

    I started taking 50 MG in late (dec 2019) after having a burnout from work and the pressures of life. I still felt somewhat sad, and had some bad thoughts (against myself) so she upped my dose to 100Mg, and after that I went through the Pandemic, a divorce, and a few other challenges and none of these thoughts came back! I’m a christian, and strongly believe in medicine, since in my opinion, God blessed humans with knowledge to develop medicine, in other to help and cure certain conditions. I hope one day I don’t need to take it, but will do as long as its needed

While medicine has changed drastically between then and now, it has always been a key part of human development and advancement.

    Update: I bumped to 50mg one month then to 75mg the next month you have to be able to find your perfect medium, I noticed that I would get kinda irritable when it was not working for me. Now that I’m on 75mg I feel like this is my perfect medium and keeping it this way I’m not bumping up anymore. Not everyone is the same so you have to pay attention to how you feel, to know what you feel is best for you. And don’t be scared to ask for a higher or lower dose. It’s really ok. I’m a mom of two young boys and a wife. Irritability is a big no no in my life. We got to be positive and strive to get better for ourselves.

    I been on 50mg a day since I was 18. I'm 21 now. 1 thing I've noticed us how it effects recreational drugs. It makes me smoke more weed as you don't feel stoned on sertraline. I feel sick if I drink alcohol on sertraline, but it helps with come downs. After a weekend on mdma, a sertraline gets rid of the come down, completely gets rid of out. Think it replaces the chemicals the mdma uses up.

    Just started taking Zoloft 50mg, it has improved my mood quite a bit, noticing an increase of general energy and better quality of sleep, less general depression symptoms. Though my bad thoughts are still there and my memory has begun to deteriorate at an unexpectedly high level, learning new things in school is becoming nigh impossible, and that was partly the reason I began to use Zoloft in the first place. Last year of high school and semester is almost up, I'm afraid that I'll have ruined any chances I could have if I don't fix these issues soon.

Antidepressants can work up to three or four years and then you’re worse off than you were and dependent on medication and now with side effects. His evidence based medicine research is world renowned and published. He has two books. ‘Anatomy of an epidemic’, and ‘mad in America’.

    Yes, depression can be caused by bad brain chemistry. IE if you take MDMA too often or too much you can overstimulate your receptors or use up your serotonin reserve (though this builds back in a week typically). Supposedly bad diets can affect your mood too, which wouldn't be surprising since the serotonin has to be produced out of the nutrients we eat. Though its dubious to say how effective a diet could be or even a supplement could be.
