I have been taking Sertraline for over 10? years could be longer. It is the only one that helped me. It also controlled me. I was not getting excited over anything or sad about anything. My doctor added another one and I feel good. I am coming off the Sertraline slowly and so far all is good. I still had my ups and downs on sertraline. I get tired of the ups and downs but i really believe whatever I take I will always have them. It is better to feel up or down than nothing at all.
I've never taken that I was on fluxotine years ago but that didn't help so a couple if years ago I was putting sertraline and that's not been to bad like most of us other I guess I have good days and bad days I can be my own worst enemy sometimes as the world been what it's today and all my seven children grown up with six grandchildren I constantly worry and panic about them only to be told your over reacting we can look after our self's and yes they all can and there very independent but I say to them that still doesn't stop me from worrying but I do tend to make myself I'll sometimes with worry knowing what the world is coming to these days at the end of the day we all on her ed have our difficulties and where all just as important as each other and we all matter never forget that no matter what any one says to you we are our own special family who are here to care for and be there for each other I wish everyone on her happy days and smiley faces love to you all my special family a family that no one can take away x
I had that rage reaction to a tricyclic antidepressant called trimipramine, not when I was on Zoloft. But everybody has different reactions to meds.
Is the rage continuing? My rage just kept escalating until my psychiatrist gave me a blood pressure med called propranolol - which, amazingly enough, made the rage go away completely. If you're asthmatic you can't use it because it can worsen asthma.
Is Zoloft the first antidepressant you've tried or have you been on others before? There are a lot of choices out there - so there is no reason to stay on a med that doesn't agree with you.

I have never taken it, but you should always call your doctor about any side effects that seem to make things worse. ALWAYS
The first time I was diagnosed I was put on zoloft and it worked for me eventually but after a few months it stopped working and I was put on something else, years later they tried to put me back on it but it made me cry all the time and be very very angry to, I'm now on pristique and have been for about 11 months but at the moment they don't seem to be working now either, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever feel normal again 😢
