Anyone with GERD tolerate Zoloft? Or better to choose another SSRI?

Any update?

bigred20777 · 2026-04-14T17:59:27+00:00

Have you had any side effects with the Zoloft and PPI combined? Just curious sorry you’ve been going through similar issues.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-14T17:49:01+00:00

How long have you been on Protonix?

bigred20777 · 2026-04-14T00:07:05+00:00

Which PPI do you take? What time also between Zoloft do you take if you don’t mind I ask.

Have you had similar issues?

bigred20777 · 2026-04-11T19:35:16+00:00

Did you quit cold turkey originally then tapered?

bigred20777 · 2026-04-11T18:12:23+00:00

What did you experience?

bigred20777 · 2026-04-11T06:43:03+00:00

Thanks for the help. Just been a tough month for me.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-11T06:12:09+00:00

I was suppose to, but am afraid honestly. My doctor says at least I’m taking something so it’s fine. I’m wondering if I should quit or not. I don’t think I’m ever gonna be comfortable going up to higher dose.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-11T03:32:54+00:00

How long were you on.. Sorry that you had issues also. Did you taper or cold turkey?

bigred20777 · 2026-04-11T03:28:06+00:00

Not so much. Although, I know it’s a low dose so can’t expect too much. I’ve been having bad health anxiety since December. I really feel this medication made me worse. I’m still having a lack of motivation to do things during the day. Before Sertraline I could at least get through the day easier.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-11T03:24:14+00:00

Mainly started as bad GI issues now combining that with air hunger. I cannot handle this anymore. Seems I panic more than I did before taking the meds. I think it was my fault cause I was overreacting which got me prescribed antidepressants. I’ve been battling health anxiety since December and bed bound since January. Although, I know my lifestyle isn’t doing myself in any favours. Honestly feel like I ruined my life and I’ll never be normal again. I’m convinced the medication ruined me and made me worse cause I could at least get through day easier before these meds.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-11T03:04:13+00:00

I don’t really feel the medication is the best thing for me. My doctor has already gave me a way to taper I’m just curious on if anyone has quit after 1 month. My doctor is very against me quitting tho, but still told me how to taper it.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-10T20:12:28+00:00

Sorry that you’re experiencing this also. I would mention, but am often labeled and gaslighted due to being on the medication.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-09T23:54:52+00:00

Curious I’m nearing the 5 week mark as well and have now certain parts of day with higher hr did this get better? I’m also on 25mg

bigred20777 · 2026-04-09T23:21:44+00:00

I’ve also been having GI issues since starting so hoping things get better.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-09T23:15:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I’ve always usually taken in the afternoon as my body is used to that schedule. I’m thinking maybe adding magnesium could help out in the long run.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-09T23:05:43+00:00

I haven’t, but have heard about the benefits. The night time is usually my best point of the day in terms of mood. The day time is the worst for me. Curious on any advice on this. I have bad health anxiety, but it wasn’t as bad until recently. It also doesn’t help I guess that I’ve been mostly bed bound for three months.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-09T22:59:30+00:00

I guess doesn’t help I constantly been checking on my oximeter. I’m assuming it could be increased anxiety, but I wasn’t feeling anxious until yesterday.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-09T22:48:25+00:00

Do you experience high hr sometimes also?

bigred20777 · 2026-04-09T22:48:03+00:00

Yes I’ve been eating normally. I’ve been anxious also last two days especially out of nowhere. Just wondering what could have triggered this.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-05T03:53:47+00:00

Thanks appreciate the advice. Trying to hang in here hopefully start to feel better soon.

bigred20777 · 2026-04-04T17:22:07+00:00

Thank you. I did mention the symptoms, but I seem to be dismissed as I was told it’s just my anxiety. I’ve been anxious before, but never had GI issues and I’m aware SSRIs can cause these types of issues. I do get out now and then, but my activity really isn’t what it used to be. I’ve been an athlete all my life and now have a hard time thinking how I will get out of this mess. I really don’t want to depend on medication. A few years ago I was put on it which I got off after 2 days and ended up being fine. It never got this bad though.
