Hi Sweetie,


I'm so glad you are taking care of yourself.

I was Zoloft for like 4 days because I allegedly had "anxiety" over the "remote possibility" that I might have EDS.

I had my first seizure on the fifth day and was taken off it.

The EDS DX was later confirmed, so my "anxiety" was justified. I have never actually suffered from anxiety, but be aware that seizures are a documented side-effect of Zoloft. I came off it in July '06 but I still have seizures. Can I blame the Zoloft? Probably not, but I am not a fan...

I took Zoloft when I was pg with Tom (maybe the trigger for his ASD?

Took it after Liam's birth (ppd). It did seem to help for a bit. I was off it within 8 months. I have to say it was so much easier to get off it than lexapro, which I've been on for 2 years and it is soooo hard to wean off of, even after 5mg every other day I feel dizzy (yes, under docs advice).

I am a big believer in getting whatever help you need. If it works....use it, kwim?!

I was dx with severe depression almost 10 years ago, with accompanying panic disorder.
