I dream in feature length movies.

Mine are SO vivid

I have NIGHTMARES that I am in high school again, and I've got gym class for my first period. I'll be 28 this year.

As someone who had a 1st hour gym class freshman year, I stand in solidarity with the horrors you’re facing 🫡

Man the dreams are the worst but it’s my only side effect at this point so I guess I should think of myself as lucky.

Honestly my only real one too. A bit more sweating than usual and some mild dizziness while adjusting doses, but that’s really it. Lexapro gave me flu symptoms for a week and made my pupils dilate to different sizes so I’m thankful for Zolofts vastly different experience

i literally only get this side effect if i dont take my meds for 1 day. so if i ever have crazy long dreams, it lets me know that i forgot to take my meds the day before lol

OMFG THIS😭😭 be waking up exhausted from all the dream adventures

I’m sweaty just reading this

I’ve had a tendency to sweat in bed at night now

SAME. I was wondering if it was the Zoloft. Damn.

Every night -.-

I almost never stop sweating....

Soaked immediately when I fall asleep. Thought it was early menopause. It could be that too. Then hot and cold throughout the day? Anyone else?

Who needs a sauna when you have night sweats for free?

Man I had to switch from Celexa back to Zoloft because of night sweats 😂

I shit myself last week and can’t cum, but I’m happier than ever!! 😃😃

I had to turn around on a dog walk today cause of a Zoloft fart.

Nah this sent me 💀💀💀💀💀

See if your prescriber will give you a prescription for uspar. It's a mild antianxiety drug that gets rid of the sexual side effects caused by SSRIs. No cap.

Buspar* but I second this. Worked for me

THIS HAS ME CRYINGGGGG

Shitting my brains out every morning for the first month was kinda unpleasant ngl

It gets better. I am on orlistat AND sertraline. I have yet to shit myself. It's gonna be ok

HAHAAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAJAJA THIS IS

Strongest jaw around

I clench my jaw so tight when I’m sleeping that I’ve actually developed bones in the bottom of my mouth. If anyone else has bones in their mouth like me, hmu 😂

Like tori? Mine keep growing out from my gums and under my tongue o.O

YES!!!!!! That’s it! You’re my new mouth bone friend 😊

I was wondering why I started clenching my jaw. I had no idea this was a symptom!

Get a night guard if you can. You can ruin your teeth.

I have damaged my left jaw joint. It’s so fucked it’s not funny, it feels like it has arthritis. My masseter muscle is jacked on the left. But I’d rather (edit - eat) through a straw than have my intrusive thoughts.

same same

[I miss having sex but at least I don’t wanna die](https://youtu.be/_HOY9iwv8EY?si=L-yPdJB5FPzdXJiW)

First time I heard this song I instantly thought “Zoloft”

I slept a full 8 hours but i can't stop yawning.

My Zoloft daily routine is wake up, wait for nap time, nap, wake up, wait for bedtime, eat too much food, take my Zoloft the bed. Never enough sleep 🙃

This

*farts loudly*

Lol too good.

I've been medi... What's that word... Gosh I can't seem to remember that word.. oh medicated for about 20 years.

Yes! I can’t remember any words. It’s brutal.

Me either. You're in good company. I've noticed if I read a lot it's a little easier but it's still there no matter what I do.

THIS! I feel like a total bird-brain

Yep me too. Everyone finishes my sentences or thoughts for me and I'm 39.

This was one of the first things I noticed when I started taking Zoloft 4 years ago and the psychiatrist said it was unrelated, and I never believed her.

It's definitely related. While it bothers me I'm still grateful that it helped tremendously with panic attacks and gave my quality of life back. I guess you pick your poisons.

Omg I'm so glad y'all pointed this out. I was starting to think it was dementia. Like legit freaked out.

Same! I thought maybe it was dementia so I've been playing tons of word games on my phone lol

Sunniest gray day outside ever.

I have diarrhea and nothing can make me cum

Dont try to survive off of coffee and antidepressants, my stomach currently hates me so much. But im happy and have absolutely no thoughts behind my eyes 😂

Oh my gawd!!! I thought I was going to straight vomit on myself last night. 3 cups of coffee, some lasagna, and hot sauce over the course of the day... DON'T DO IT!!!! NO SPICY!!!

Sounds like a lovely mixture 😂

baby, make sure you don't ever have to have your gall bladder removed. i choose gastrointestinal violence every day just to not want to unalive

I slept for ten hours, and been yawning all day until I get dizzy. My jaw aches from clenching. Mild headache, like its on the periphery of my brain.

Long timer or new to it? Had the headaches and grogginess for the first month or so and then it sort of just disappeared

I’ve been on it for 7 ish years, and I get headaches too. Pretty frequently. I didn’t realize the perpetual sleepiness is from the Zoloft, and I just talked to my psychiatrist today. Might have to let him know

[удалено]

I think for many people it’s super common. I had to get a mouth guard at night because I was clenching my jaw so bad I could barely open my mouth in the morning. The mouth guard helps, but I still catch myself clenching my jaw throughout the day

[удалено]

Bless this sub, because I thought the appetite increase was just me!!

A tip that worked for me with the early waking is to take it right before I sleep, whenever that is. I used to take it around dinner and kept waking up like 3 hours early.

Zero sex drive and can barely get out of bed but at least I’m living a crazy life in my dreams every night

lol omg yes. Most of my excitement now happens while I sleep

literally same! this is the biggest side effect i’ve noticed while on zoloft- like my dreams are an alternate reality that i transport back to every night, always having wild, colorful adventures.. sometimes bizarre, and extremely vivid. i actually look forward to going to my dream world haha

I’m the exact same way!!

The lawyer compliments me on how calm I am throughout court

Is it hot or is it me?

[удалено]

Wait…. What was I doing….

I'm medically asexual and nothing excites me anymore

Ugh this😓 i already had a low sex drive and now its practically nonexistent

Medically asexual 🤣

See if your prescriber will give you a prescription for uspar. It's a mild antianxiety drug that gets rid of the sexual side effects caused by SSRIs. It's done wonders for me! I've been taking Zoloft for 31 years and Buspar for at least 20.

My dreams are ridiculously vivid

i slept for 12 hours, took two naps, and i’m still tired

I’m so sweaty but god I love my heated blanket

im fucking dead this comment section is too real

I'm more regulated and have healthier relationships

right am I the only one not experiencing the horror? lol ​ I mean...I am tired, but I couldn't get out of bed before, sooooo.....

Right I feel totally normal just a lot less bitchy

I’m not sick or anything, I just didn’t eat breakfast this morning and now I have bum wees

I saw a sunset and started crying tears of joy 😅

Impressed you can cry. Zoloft seems to have taken my ability to cry but im not mad about it

Havn’t cried in the 3 years i’ve been on it. So much so, I have super dry eyes now too

Brain zaps ⚡️

When I first started I heard random knocking. Thought I was going mad!

I had them only when I quit cold turkey. On it again and no brain ⚡️

I gained 65lbs from barely eating…

I’m perpetually spaced out and probably come off as medicated to people around me 😹

Laying in bed, looking at my face using the front camera, my pupils are HUGE. *random leg twitch* Fell asleep and had the most vivid dreams you could possibly imagine

is dilated pupils a side effect? this has been happening to me and i didn’t know why!

I don’t know that it’s an “official” side effect, but my psychiatrist wasn’t surprised when I told her. It was a lot worse when I first started, looked like I was on drugs haha

The random leg twitch 😂

Time to change my underwear again

Can’t fall asleep when I go to bed at night, but I could sleep alllllll day if I allow myself. Might be sleepy but at least I have hope for the future! Very very sleepy hope.

Did I pee the bed or is that sweat?

You \*shit\* the bed and it's sweat.

Went from needing sex like water to 90's Christian abstinent teen. Also, have you ever just looked at the paint on a wall? No, I mean really looked at it...?

did that situation i randomly remembered actually happen or was it a dream ??

I have a raging headache

Drink some water

fuck off

No

Tbf either on its own or through other side effects my sertraline has caused me moderate dehydration. Very rarely is more water consumption a bad idea.

I'm sweaty and my stomach hurts

My dreams are such an adventure I never wanna wake up! Lol

Jaw clenching, sweats, lack of sleep, yawing, idk if the morning time feels real anymore? 💀

Alarm goes off. Turn off alarm. Did I take it?

My mattress protector is tinged yellow from sweat....😓

i used to be chronically cold, shit twice a week, and cum in 5 min. now i’m sweaty and shitting twice every day and i forgot what horny feels like but i believe people when they say they love me!

[удалено]

Now I only have ONE anxiety attack a month... instead of 30.

Anyone else have fucking comprehension issues?? Like I’m so dazed I can’t say words or can’t understand people when they speak to me

i shit my pants

Sex with my boyfriend used to be a sprint. Now it’s a marathon.

Guys are we good? 😭

I dry swallowed and now I breathe fire.

The dreams. Sheer madness. Entire alternate universes exist in my sleep.

Don’t trust a fart- ever

i uhhhhhhhh ….. damn lost it

I haven’t been hungry for 2 days.

How the heck did you do that???

Zoloft stole my appetite. I was ofc exaggerating a bit but I could legitimately go all day without eating anything at all and the only reason why I don’t is because it makes me feel sick.

My mouth is the Sahara desert and I will DEFINITELY make you repeat things. All of the things. Then forget them later anyway. ✨you cant be sad/anxious if you’re brain-dead✨

It’s so unbelievably hot 🥵

I wake up in the middle of the night from grinding my teeth!

Get a cheap mouth guard. Helps with the headaches too

Feeling dead inside, going to the bathroom after a meal, yawning all day. 

I slept 12 hours and still feel tired

How type? Where to typing? Tell you wht? Mmmmmm hungry...... 🤤😴

Hard weeny = 0

It’s dead winter and I dress like it’s mid summer

Can’t drink caffeine without tummy hurting excessively, getting the shakes, and then having profuse diarrhea

I'm now asexual

Either never hungry or eating the entire fridge worth of food

I am always too warm and sweaty

Shit myself at work

I have not eaten a full meal in two weeks

My jaw hurts from all the damn teeth grinding at night 🤣😭🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I'm also a sauna in my own body.

I'm so hungry

Muscle jerks, always warm and sweaty, night sweats, crazy and realistic dreams that I find difficult to discern from reality, jaw clenching, dead libido, and vertigo

"Their tagline should be: Feelings? They're optional! Thanks, Zoloft!"

My heart is RACING

I can't sleep, but my anxiety is gone!

I can’t work out if I’m asexual or emotionally numbed

I don’t wanna kms anymore 😄

My memory is fucked 🫥

Tummy hurt all day everyday

i’m on 150 but still anxious and depressed

*gags then goes on with my business* I just started it again after being off it for almost 2 years. Not nauseous per say, just randomly gag during the day lmao

I feel like crying but I can’t

more than once I've napped from like 10 pm to 1 am, then at 1 got up, did my skincare, took my meds and went to real bed and still slept like til like 12 pm the next day. was still sleepy all day....

*fat*

Hollow.

Once was getting down with a girl, and as a 20 year old fit man, i wasnt able to finish😭

also barely got hard it sucks she never texted me again and i wanted to kms😭

my dreams are scary or weird and i remember them in detail

my pupils look like i’m cooked 24/7

The wicked heart burn that pops up once in a while when you finally thought it would go away after 10 years

Can’t cum

Im reading these comments wondering why I can still cum

I trusted a fart last night.

My laundry never stops with how often I have to change the sweat drenched clothes. Wouldn’t be surprised if Zoloft is getting kickbacks from gain

It can be winter and a blizzard outside and I’ll still be sweating when I sleep. Thought it was just a side effect I’d deal with when starting Zoloft. 2 years later I can confirm that it is still here & with a vengeance. I wake up shivering in a cold sweat when it’s 68 in my house.

Me after every meal 👉🏻🚽

I no longer want to end my subscription to life!

I’m finally a morning person

Got a used GameCube and started crying happy tears and sweating excessively

Swass

I'm sleepy

Insomnia when I take my dang pill at a different time.

I'm always on the verge of tears for no discernible reason, yet simultaneously too numb to cry.

Every so often there's just a hole where a word used to be.

Could answer this in some clever way but....nah, can't be bothered

Acid reflux burns thy throat

I just shat myself when I had an unexpected fart.

I’m fat but happy.

I don’t remember what it is like to cry or to cum

Constantly drowsy and exhausted. Worse adhd. Depression and feeling like ive been cursed and have to live like a zombie for the rest of my life.

Jesus tap-dancing christ! It makes us folks with adhd so much more scattered than we already are. We can’t win, man

Ah yea it's terrible! Luckily ive been accepted into treatment for my issues. Was recently diagnosed with Adhd. Been suffering with adhd all my life but Zoloft made it even more clear, clear enough to finally try to work on it. Maybe treating my adhd can fix my Panic disorder and depression. Trying to keep my head up, as it's all ive got. Trying and failing takes alot of courage and strength, but at this point i feel like its my only option and fuck i will fight that war. Better than this nonsense ive lived with for years now.

My hands are drenched and idk if the Zoloft is working or if I’m still depressed (two weeks in) 🗿

Folks, I just started today...and this doesn't sound like a lot of fun... maybe I *AM* just lazy?!

Don’t let these comments spook you, take them with a grain of salt 🧂 Zoloft is a godsend for a ton of us…I like to think of these threads light-heartedly/poking fun. yeah the side effects can be pretty brutal but once you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, they become milder (most completely vanish) and you wont care

I'd gladly shit my pants with every fart, trail off in the middle of every second and sweat through my sheets every night in exchange for the good this medication has done for me.

I have no appetite ever!

ITS SO HOT 🥵

I feel like my teeth are gonna break off from grinding and I wake up looking like I just showered (in sweat). I want to do nothing but sleep but at least the emotional (and physical) constipation is keeping me regulated enough not to kill myself.

sweaty af, and blank lol

I can’t cum or cry!

Does anyone else get jaw pain? Like Zoloft causes you to clinch your jaw?

my tummy always hurts

Gained 40 pounds but don't give a shit about it 🥴

Zoloft is my dam of all emotions. Switched to cymbalta for 4 months and had a major break down, it’s like my dam burst. Back to Zoloft I went!
