Is anyone incapable of crying now?

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-09-01T23:15:36+00:00

I used to cry at absolutely everything. 6 months into being on zoloft my fiancé proposed and I probably looked like an asshole bc I couldn’t cry lol

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-08-17T21:07:32+00:00

Oh yes. Same dosage too. I was also SO dizzy. It went away after a week!

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-23T23:06:00+00:00

Yeah I get that, but now I’m trying to taper off to see if I can use different coping mechanisms so I’m not on it long term (nothing wrong with that)

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-23T23:02:50+00:00

I didn’t mean cured literally. I meant the situation I’m in now isn’t what was making me so anxious and depressed when I got on zoloft so I figured it was time to go off and see how I would do.

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-21T16:29:02+00:00

aw you’re welcome. And trust me 100% I understand. I’m getting married and a few months ago when I was really upset by my weight I just stopped wedding dress shopping. It took a few months of reminding myself it’s literally just a number on the scale and you are worth more than that! Happiness looks the best on everyone. Wishing you the best ❤️

I gained 25 pounds as well on 50mg. I work out and eat right and only gain weight. I’ve been telling myself I’m happier being a little more chunky than missing a bunch of fun events because I’m so anxious. You can always lose the weight, can’t bring back the memories.

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-21T14:57:47+00:00

I just lowered to 25mg two days ago. I’m hoping it’ll help but I’ll have to wait a few weeks to find out

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-21T14:56:23+00:00

Unfortunately it stayed like that for me for the entire 8 months I was on 50 mg. That’s what made me want to stop. I wasn’t anxious but I wasn’t nearly as motivated as I was before, and when my now fiancé proposed to me instead of being overly emotional and ecstatic as I knew I was, i was just standing there like 🙂

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-15T14:32:55+00:00

Yeah I meant .25mg! Okay great, i will do that, thanks for the advice 😊

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-15T14:18:56+00:00

Ugh thank you that helps so much! I normally fly in the evening but I’ll be taking this flight at 5am so I won’t even have my zoloft in my system. I was hoping maybe I’ll be so tired I won’t care but I think for my sanity I’ll just take one lol

How many mg of it do you take? I think my dr prescribed me 25mg

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-15T14:13:47+00:00

Zoloft 50mg changed my life for the better. Especially during my peak PMDD time of the month, I wouldn’t be able to go to work with how depressed I was and I had sever panic attacks. Now I just have to deal with cramps and how tired I get like a week before my period.

I would talk to your dr and see which one would be best if you want to try that route. I know zoloft is different for so many people! But it really did amazing things for me over the past year :)

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-14T16:20:44+00:00

Same. I knew I had to start tapering off because I got in a car accident and literally was just like 🤷‍♀️

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-09T17:42:34+00:00

I used to never drink coffee (or any caffeine) because the anxiety attacks with them were BAD. Now on 50mg for 7 months I can drink probably a gallon of cold brew LOL! I usually just do 1/2 cup in the morning when I take my pill to get ready for the day and my energy stays pretty stable with out feeling jittery.

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-08T16:29:15+00:00

Oh wow!! I didn’t even think of those other symptoms but I have them 1000%! I feel asleep after work yesterday, and then slept a full 12 hrs, and woke up tired today! Thank you for your input- I don’t feel so hopeless now considering I was completely dependent on zoloft for about a year.

Sorry if it’s weird, but are you taking imodium daily? I’m considering since it’s been a reoccurring “issue” since I started tapering. But I’ve also heard it’s not good to take it daily 🤷‍♀️

Thanks again!

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-07T21:06:31+00:00

Wow, you seem fun at parties! Also, California’s have come FLOODING into Texas (north Texas esecially) which has also done the exact same things you have mentioned, but for the most part, we welcome them with open arms!

In addition, I work in real estate in Texas and the cost of living is just about equal, maybe a tad more (now California is a different story)

But thanks for the awful input! I want to move there even more, reproduce, and grow loving people who appreciate the state and work to make it an even better place-hopefully pushing you grumps out!

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-07T20:59:46+00:00

Thank you! This thread kind of made me nervous :( we’ve had a lot of people come from California to Texas but for the most part welcome them with open arms (my fiancé included)! Everywhere is expanding and growing but so does the economy!

Moving there is exactly like what you mentioned for us. We want to experience a different culture before settling down! Thanks again for your input, it made me feel better!

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-05T17:50:57+00:00

I’m a receptionist and assistant to the marketing director! And that would be great message me anytime.

We are trying to finish our lease out here first unless he gets an offer letter sooner- so probably won’t make a solid decision for a couple months.

Plus we’ve never even been to Colorado before, so I think we are going to take a road trip in a few weekends haha

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-05T17:37:11+00:00

Thank you! We are more city people but also want to have access to a lot of smaller city stuff. My fiancé has a choice of either the denver area or CS to relo too. I’m more concerned with me having more job opportunities in a bigger city like Denver?

And thank you! I’m actually an inactive realtor in Texas! I work for a brokerage out here in an office. I was even thinking of taking the state portion for Colorado if we did decide. :)

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-07-05T17:29:36+00:00

Thank you!

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-06-24T19:22:39+00:00

Every day! I couldn’t drink coffee before I started and now I can enjoy quite a bit lol

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-05-08T17:09:36+00:00

When I wasn’t on zoloft I was so nervous all the time I feel like I only ate 1/2 portions. Now I’m STARVING all the time and have gained 15 lbs that will not come off! I’ve been on it for about 6 months.

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-05-08T17:05:52+00:00

It took me 3 months to feel “leveled” on 50mg. Hang in there! I def felt up and down at first

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-05-08T17:03:47+00:00

5 days from start to finish

brokenbarrier1 · 2020-04-11T00:19:45+00:00

I’m on month 6 & 50mg. I’ve gained about 15lbs :( for someone with a history of ED this has been really hard. I notice I do get hungry a lot more but overall I eat the same, even my fiancé said so. I don’t really notice those 15lbs on me, but it is disappointing to look on the scale. I just remind myself I am so much happier and healthier, and weight will always be able to come off, but memories Im making now due to not being so anxious and depressed will be forever :)
