[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 412312, member: 1991"] The majority of people on Zoloft do well. If that were not the case, it would be withdrawn. But there are stories around of people who were tipped into suicide by the stuff. Two of my kids take Zoloft and it is brilliant for them. difficult child 3 tried Zoloft (he was 5 years old) and while it seemed to help initially, he rapidly went into manic mode and did not sleep. After a few days the lack of sleep had undone any benefit and made him impossible to manage so we stopped the Zoloft. Two women in my village were on Zoloft when they died. One death was recorded as accidental, but friends and family are not so sure - she apparently rolled off a cliff during one of her regular meditation sessions there. The other definitely suicided, planned it carefully over days. Two weeks ago a man in our village was found hanging - he also had been only recently put on Zoloft. In each case, the person had only been on Zoloft a short time. In at least one case, the person had reported feeling suicidal, and the doctor responded by increasing the medications. My daughter in law was taken off Zoloft (which had been working, although she was often tired) and put onto moclobemide. She became a lot more depressed but also unable to sleep, almost manic at times. She was increasingly suicidal to the point where difficult child 1 stopped working so he could stay with her and make sure she was safe. The doctor increased her dose when they reported these symptoms - she of course got worse on the higher dose. They are now stopping it and she is doing much better. I also have taken moclobemide and found it caused some weird stuff with me. I reckon Stephen King takes the stuff... I had so many really weird, complex ideas in my head and my nightmares were vivid and nasty. One nightmare was so real - I was operating on a small animal, doing detailed surgery and knowing the animal was going to die. I felt sad in the dream that I had to do this - then in the dream I stepped back from the table far enough to see that I had just operated on my infant daughter. Really, really nasty. If Zoloft is going to cause problems, it will be from the get-go. It will also be unusual. If you get through the first few weeks with no problems, then it is unlikely that there will be problems later on. Monitor during early medication with Zoloft, and also during any dose increase. otherwise - if there is benefit without hassle, enjoy. Marg [/QUOTE]
