Hi,

I am seeing a psychriatrist next week. One that, in the past, prescribed me Zoloft for anxiety and depression. I didn't, though, take it. I was too afraid of possible side-effects -- especially when coming off of it. I've read many accounts, online, of persons who've experienced horrific withdrawal -- depersonalization, general anxiety, brain zaps, etc.

Most people who bother to write about their experiences have had bad experiences -- the ones who've had good experiences may not have felt compelled to write (i guess).

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has had a good experience with Zoloft? Also, I've read that Zoloft can increase one's want to drink. Is this true?

Thanks,

Gomez
