ok, my life has been weird since i started taking Zoloft in February.
Mundane thoughts leave, but intrusive thoughts last longer and often return.In some cases, intrusive thoughts are the result of an underlying mental health condition, like OCD and PTSD.
So far I'm sticking to at least therapy and will just get back on my latuda when the year is up. LovelyCreature June 14, 2020, 8:22am #1.
In the past month I’ve been doing CBT, practicing meditation, really working to understand my thoughts and patterns I have, eating right and working...I’m a FTM and suffered severe PPD with my first and still have depression, intrusive thoughts and anxiety though it has been 18 months.Anyway, I would like to have another child despite the horrid PPD I had gone through... (weird, right? “I have suffered from OCD and clinical depression for 30 years. I’m heading on vacation but will start taking it when I get back.It takes a 2-4 weeks to work, you should consider starting it sooner rather than later.
After taking celexa forever, which was largely ineffective, I was given Zoloft and was skeptical. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) occurs when intrusive thoughts become uncontrollable. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating mental health condition that can impact a person's relationships, work, and happiness.
Just so others that might be in a difficult situation can get help!
A person with OCD may develop a routine of checking and rechecking locks multiple times or washing their hands multiple times a day. No side effects, however I tolerate medication well. What are your experiences with this medication for anxiety?I have the same exact symptoms and have been on Zoloft for about a month. With my OCD I, of course, thought I must be dying.
General anxiety still there but not constant. I take my pill at the same time everyday.
More than Intrusive thoughts aren’t always the result of an underlying condition. I started to feel extremely disconnected from reality and had anxiety so bad it was debilitating. Hey all.
Doctor tried me with Zoloft but it makes me feel crazy so I'd rather feel depressed and have anxiety then to feel like I want to rip my skin off.
What dosage are you on and has an increase made a difference ?
Interesting. No matter how hard you try to get rid of them, they won’t go away. My biggest side effect is insomnia at night which made me really sleepy during the morning.
I have hope again.
It's helped my OCD but it's not a cure all. I've researced and it is suggested that OCD diagnoses may require a higher dosage of SSRI treatment. I usually take latuda and Wellbutrin and neither I can take while breastfeeding. “While Zoloft did alleviate some OCD symptoms, it made me very hypomanic.
The first week was GREAT. “I have bipolar type 2 and have been diagnosed for 10 years. I made an appt with a psychiatrist who specializes in psychopharmacology, but I have to wait until next Monday (6 days away).” And make you a happier and settled mum for your bub xI wrote this exact post a few weeks ago. Saw my doctor today and given a prescription for Zoloft. First it was nightmare all day suffering and anxious and worst of it mood swings that ugly side effects then 2 month later it begin to show activity .... Some thoughts wander into your brain. I was sleeping better, handling stress better, I could socialize better, overall I had a lot more confidence.
Hang in there!Thank you for your post.
Thanks ! No weight gain and other noticeable side effects. Two months and I was free of OCD symptoms and driving again.

My thoughts are drive me mad. Treatment for intrusive thoughts in OCD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or any other disorder or diagnosis is generally tackled with at least one of two methods: therapy or medication. it must be hard when therapy is so far away, is there away around this ? Additionally I take 20mg Memantine and 450mg Wellburin, Testosterone gel, and 20mg Lisinopril.” They’re upsetting because they feel so foreign.Having intrusive thoughts doesn’t always mean you have an underlying issue or behavior.
