Re: Mental health junk

Today my PCP prescribed Zoloft for anxiety and depression. Has anyone here ever taken it, and if so what are your experiences with it?

I haven't taken it but it's a modern SSRI, and from what I've read they're all more or less similar. Basically, the thing to keep in mind is that different SSRIs work very differently for different people, and if you think it's maybe not as effective as it could be, or if there's side effects that are markedly unpleasant, you should be strongly consider trying a different SSRI and seeing if that suits you better.

Generally my experiences with SSRIs (Citalopram in my case) has been pretty solid, just in terms of cutting down on depressive moods and relatively few side effects. Hope they work for you.

Also I'm strongly considering seeing someone who specializes in mental health but I'm not sure whether I should look for a psychiatrist or a psychologist. Does it make much of a difference?

AFAIK the difference is basically that one is an MD and can prescribe drugs. So if you already have a prescription, probably doesn't matter. Just try to find someone who works for you.

DA--also, you need to give SSRI's about six weeks to build up and start working properly. Good luck, hope it helps.

AYRT yes I should have said! Give it a month or two, both for the effect and for side effects

Also, you might find yourself sleeping a lot for the first few weeks. At least, that's how I was when I've started SSRIs.

Also, as a piece of general advice, look up whatever it is at crazymeds. They've got a lot more info about what side effects are actually likely to show up.
