Sharing the pros and cons of Zoloft in today's video! Zoloft is a commonly prescribed antidepressant that belongs to a class of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Like other antidepressants, it is generally considered to be effective in treating depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions.

Some potential benefits of taking Zoloft include:

- It is generally well-tolerated by most people and has a relatively low risk of side effects.
- It can be effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- It can be taken on a long-term basis to help prevent the recurrence of symptoms.
- It may also effectively treat some physical symptoms associated with mental health conditions, such as chronic pain or insomnia.

However, there are also some potential drawbacks to taking Zoloft, including:

- It may not be effective for everyone. Some people may not experience any improvement in their symptoms, or they may only experience a partial improvement.
- It can cause side effects in some people, such as nausea, dizziness, and sexual dysfunction. These side effects may be mild and go away on their own, but in some cases, they can be more severe and may require medical attention.
- It can interact with other medications, so it is important to tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking before starting Zoloft.

Overall, the decision to take Zoloft or any other antidepressant should be made in consultation with a doctor. Your doctor will be able to assess your individual situation and determine if Zoloft is the proper medication for you.

Many people are too scared to start antidepressants once they have been prescribed. If you are worried about the side effects I hope you find support in this video and across my Channel; I have been in your shoes and remember being scared to start antidepressants when my GP asked me to start taking Sertraline. Has the road been easy? No. Has it been worth it? For me, absolutely. The main thing when starting antidepressants is to feel informed and safe. If you are worried about taking antidepressants then speak to your GP and allow them to talk you through the risks/rewards more carefully.
I was worried about the side effects of Sertraline but also the stigma surrounding taking antidepressants. I quickly found that whilst the side effects are real, the world can be an understanding place.

You are not alone in this journey, leave a comment describing your experience because you never know who it might help!

Good luck my friends, I am proud you are making a Happy Change!

Zoloft, Prozac, Celexa, Paxil, Lexapro and are all SSRI medication but you may prefer one vs the other and have a different reaction to each. This video explains what to expect and how to make a decision that helps you get better!

The most common form of antidepressant is known as an SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor - if you want to know how this works I have a whole other video about that - right here! Depending on your source between 1 in 6 and 1 in 10 of the population are currently prescribed antidepressant and the vast majority of these will take an SSRI.

Video Contents:

00:00 - Introduction to video
01:00 - Different types of antidepressants - how do they work?
02:08 - What are the key differences between different antidepressants?
02:22 - The Half life of different antidepressant SSRIs
04:06 - Methods of consumption
05:07 - Dietary considerations about antidepressants
05:50 - Different genetic response to antidepressants
07:28 - How long will the antidepressants take to start working?
07:54 - Summary - how to choose the right antidepressant

SSRIs are all great at combating many mental health issues such as depression, general anxiety, PTSD, OCD etc. Which ever you take has the potential to significantly help your mental state.

The names listed at the start - Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa and so on are all SSRI medication so whilst they perform the same role in your body your individual reaction to different meds can be varied. So what are the differences?

The Key Differences

1. Half Life
2. Method of consumption
3. Dietary Considerations
4. Your own bodies reaction

Half Life

The Amount of time it takes for the amount of medication in the body to halve. Looking at this chart you can see this ranges considerably with SSRI medication. A shorter Half Life can mean that withdrawal is more of a shock to the system as the chemical change is more rapid; so whilst a longer half life med isn’t always the best choice it is useful knowledge if you decide to reduce your dosage and find withdrawal difficult. Moving to another SSRI with a longer half life can help this process.
A longer half life can also lead to less issues if you accidentally miss a dose. Your body won’t panic that you’ve gone ‘cold turkey’ quite as quickly.

Citalopram (Celexa) - 36 Hour Half Life
Escitalopram (Lexapro) - 30 Hour Half Life
Fluoxetine (Prozac) - 144 Hour Half Life
Paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva) - 24 Hour Half Life
Sertraline (Zoloft, Lustral) - 36 Hour Half Life

Method of consumption
(e.g. Fluoxetine can be taken in liquid form that you simply drop into your mouth.)

People have preferences over how they take the meds. Some people hate swallowing pills and prefer something that dissolves in a glass of water. Some people prefer capsules to tablets. Each SSRI is available in different forms and if this element is an important part of you committing to taking it then speak with your GP. Likewise if you find yourself struggling with the method of consumption - raise it during your next medication review.

Dietary Considerations
(e.g Citlolapram contains lactose, fluoxetine capsules contains gelatine)

If you are lactose intolerant or vegan there might be dietary considerations to bear in mind.

Your Bodies Reaction

This is personal to you and difficult to predict. The Mayo Clinic recognises that your inherited traits i.e. your genetic makeup, play a role in determining how well your body reacts to different medication. You may have severe side effects with Prozac and find that Zoloft is an easier experience. If we understand that genetics plays a role here and you have close relatives who have taken antidepressants then asking about their experiences might help you and your GP find the right medication for you as your response may well be similar.
Your body will give you feedback about how things are going and it is up to you how you respond but consider the following:

ALL SSRIs are likely to cause some unpleasant side effects, particularly in the first couple of weeks.
It can take about 6 weeks before your body begins to feel the positive side effect.

If you feel confused about which antidepressant is right for you - you are not alone!

Thank you for watching, liking, and loving. I just adore you.

Drugs that do a pretty good job of easing symptoms of depression and drugs that really help people struggling with obesity have a couple things in common. The first is that we have almost no idea how they work, and the second is that there’s often shame around using them because so many people view issues of mental health and weight control as personal failings. In a recent article for the New York Times I argue that we should shift focus from these two things and focus instead on significantly improving people’s lives, which these drugs do.

I've been taking Zoloft (Sertraline) 75mg every night for the last 1.5 years, and it's changed my life. In today's video i'll go over the ways it has helped, some of the negative side effects I've experienced, as well as what my plans are in terms of continuing to take Zoloft going forward. Mental Health Awareness is so important and something I'm passionate about. I've been able to talk to so many of you about your own experiences with anxiety and depression through sharing my journey, and I hope this video leaves you feeling like there are answers for your mental health out there, even if they aren't taking a medication like Zoloft (sertraline).

I started this channel because I wanted other working moms, nurses, nurse practitioner students, nursing students, and whoever else to know that you CAN do school, life and work! I'd love to hear your stories of how you combine your personal interests with your family life! You are doing great things, and I hope you remember that!

As Covid Vaccine mandates become more popular, I have a few thoughts as to what is ethically the right move here. Covid vaccination decreases spread of illness, and will decrease likelihood of transmission to patients. However the vaccine mandate may cause more nurses to leave already short staffed units, making working conditions more unsafe. And costing more lives in the end.

This video describes how Zoloft or sertraline works. since sertraline is an antidepressant that belongs to the class called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), this overview can be extended to other medications in the same class like Prozac (fluoxetine), Paxil (paroxetine), Lexapro, and a few others.

Watch my full Zoloft (Sertraline) Review here - https://youtu.be/_N8QoNNuRM4

Get a doctors perspective on the medication Zoloft or Sertraline. Is it right for you? What side effects should you look out for? Learn about what conditions it works for including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD and severe form of PMS call PMDD. Learn how this medication can play a role in treating these conditions and some common as well as some rare side effects that can happen.

Zoloft (Sertraline) is in the family of medications called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI). They influence the amount of Serotonin that is available to help with mood and other functions of the body.

With depression you tend to have symptoms like difficulty concentrating, remembering things or making decisions. Fatigue, feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness or hopelessness. People experience sleeping problems, mood swings, a loss of interest in things that you once enjoyed, appetite changes, generalized pain, persistent sad or empty feelings and even suicidal thoughts or attempts.

Those who are going through anxiety you may have symptoms such as sudden and unexplained onset of a rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, pain in your chest, fear of dying, numbness and tingling throughout your body or just a generalized feeling of anxiousness all the time that you just can’t explain.

If you are experiencing these symptoms you need to seek help from a professional. Go see your doctor and get an accurate diagnosis to figure out a good treatment plan for you. Remember depression and anxiety are real medical conditions and should be treated just as diabetes or high blood pressure need to be treated. You shouldn’t feel any different treating any one of these medical conditions.

We'll give a good overview in the video of the common side effects but its important to remember that most side effects if any are transient and can be minimized by working with your doctor. We will discuss more concerning side effects such as serotonin syndrome as well.
