Hi,
I'm considering getting back on zoloft. I haven't taken it since early 2001 and if my memory serves me correct I was paying a hefty amt every month to be on this drug. I figure by now I can get it w/ a generic. I assume the generic is just as good or is it made in China and who knows what the quality is???
I'm guessing it is near impossible to lose weight while taking zoloft? I remember gaining a good 10 pounds over a year when I went on that drug. It helped with my depression and to a lesser extent anxiety. It definitely chilled me out when I was in situations that would typically anger me.
Anyway I plan to try a regimen of low carb diet and strenuous exercise first to see if that helps before I get back on zoloft. I'm in school right now and I want too see if the zoloft helps me when I start a new job. I find myself dreading the thought of being at a new job and adjusting to all that since I had been working for myself mostly the last several years so I haven't had to deal w/ the SA problem as much.
Thanks for any responses.
PS: I plan to find a doc too that will prescribe xanax as I used to have a prescription for that but it ran out a year ago. Xanax is very helpful but my mind also goes numb which is a problem if I need anxiety relief at work but still need to think straight.
