I started taking Zoloft.

[TOY]

And it makes my vagina twitch every once in a while.

You know how you sit at your desk at work, wearing semi-tight jeans? You shift a certain way, and it feels like a mini-orgasm? That kinda twitch.

I LIKE! But..

I'm wondering if it's my sex drive pulsating out of me. Shit.

I'm reading the side-effects, and nothing like ^this is popping up.

Oh well.


I won an award at some night club for being best dressed!

The end.

[kaiser soze]

try hooping it and see what it does to your butt

[Miho]

DO A BARREL ROLL!

Good luck with your medication.

Zoloft is for those half in it. If you really want to get involved you need to pipe your system full of Xanax, Valium, Halcyon, Dormicum, Pot and Jack Daniels if you really want to even yourself out. To Lighten Up I subscribe to you promiscuous sex and ecstasy for weekends.

Good Luck Half Assing It: Talk to me when you're serious and have a hatred of reality and really want to kick sobriety in it's hollow ass

[QueenAdrock]

I've need to go back on Zoloft for my panic attacks. The only problem is, it gives you more panic attacks initially before it levels you out and makes them go away. No fun. (n)

Anyways, I heard there were some "sexual side effects" like a lowered sex drive, but I've never had any problems on the medication. The only side effect I've had was dry mouth. That part kinda sucked. But it was worth it not to have heightened anxiety. So, win some, lose some.

So many people on this board have had experiences with being medicated for some sort of anxiety/depression...

It's weird.

weird? ok.:rolleyes: I I hope you don't mean it this way..but it kinda sounds like you're calling us freaks or something.

I would just consider trying medication for anxiety and depression common. It's not just the board. it's people everywhere. everyone has problems and they need to figure out how to deal with it in their own way...often that involves medication...especially if other methods haven't worked out for them.

That the freaky thing , it is common to swallow pills instead of finding out what the fuck is happening. Anxiety, stress, depression are symptom of something deeper; they surface in people life for them to make a 180° change in their life. Pill , like i always said, is a bit of the easy way out. Depression, stress, anxiety are symptom of an imbalance in your life , they are a way of your body and soul to tell you that something is not right in your life at the moment. maybe too much work, an unhappy relationship , or just too much stress for nothing. Sometime, just quiting coffee will do wonder....

I think one precise aspect of our current lifestyle is that nobody live their life for them but for somebody else. They work 40/hour a week to make someone else richer or to have more money to buy shit. But in the end what the fuck is the purpose?? maybe it is to be happy and do thing that you enjoy. At one extent , maybe be poorer but richer with your own time. Being trap in your own life for all your life can fuck you right out.

All that to say that pills will never, in general, fix what wrong, introspection and changing one habits can be sometime the solution. That a method that is not often offer to people.

whatev...

[cookiepuss]

yeah. whatever. I'm sooooo not going to have this conversation again. :rolleyes: the drugs are used to help a person cope with the problem...not solve it altogether.

[russhie]

If I wanted to call you a freak, I'd just come out and call you a freak.

I think it's weird that there seems to be such a high concentration here of people who take/have taken medication for anxiety or depression. I only know of one person IRL who has taken antidepressants - I really didn't think it was all that common.

I'd wager you probably know more than just one person who takes/has taken antidepressants. Lots of people are fairly confidential when it comes to mental health issues.

It's America russh russh. They sedate themselves on the regular. Not that Aussies don't either, but the stereotypical American is pill-dependent more than they say "Well lemme tell ya what I think" these days.

Edit: I can say stereotypical because it's from the outside looking in. Doesn't make it true. Just a stereotype.

[jackrock]

I started taking Zoloft a while ago. So far, nothing wrong with my vagina.

[Kid Presentable]

Maybe Americans just talk about it more. I dunno. The poms are happy in their misery, it seems. I remember when I lived in New Zealand it was much easier to deal with being anxious and glum if the weather was shit.

It's funny how it's more difficult to believe that I find it difficult to believe there are so many medicated people in America - if I had've come out and said 'how very typical' I wonder if it'd be more acceptable? Not a jab at you kiddo, or nuthin'. Just an observation.

[Documad]

Yes. I've quit talking about people who take drugs for depression because I put my foot in my mouth once too often. It's amazing how many people are on meds.

I've known people who benefit and people who were harmed, but it seems like there are too many people on meds. I'd like to figure out why more and more people are having mental health issues.

[Kid Presentable]

Maybe it's harder for people to deny that life sucks? Maybe the natural selection process ensures we breed progressively crazier people to increase our likelihood of destroying ourselves (reeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaach)?

[Documad]

I really wonder if we're adding more and more stress to our live all the time. But then, my grandma had an incredibly stressful life--far more stressful than mine will ever be.

Maybe the drug companies are just better at marketing to doctors (and ultimately us). I take Aleve a couple of times a month and my mom probably took one aspirin per year.

Don't Australians get more vacation time than Americans? I think Europeans do too. I think Americans should take more vacations.

[TurdBerglar]

my brother is on a shitload of meds for things kids didn't get medicated for when i was his age. he's also faking or atleast exagerating his "illnesses" so he can get out of school.

but since the doctors are just easily handing out scripts for my brother, he can't be faking.... right.... right? fucking hate doctors. i remember i use to fake having ear infections to get out of school and my mom would take me to the doctors... yep, your son has an infection... here, have him take this shit for week and see me then. maybe he'll still be sick and i can squeeze more money out of you. I WAS FAKING YOU DUMB FUCKS

[russhie]

Yeah, see, my friend's boyfriend is having some issues at the moment, he's quite low on self confidence and is depressed, he went and saw a doctor who recommended he speak to someone and gave him a referral. No mention of medication, and I thought that was great - getting him to try other avenues first (not that he'd entertain being medicated for it, anyway).

My sister however was on mild antidepressants for a while after a breakup with her boyfriend, and I just shake my head at the doctor who prescribed them - sure, it's stressful and you feel like shit, but all in all it was a teenage romance that ended, nothing more. I think that alot of people are unecessarily medicated nowadays, it's far too easy to get prescribed stuff like antidepressants.

I don't think my life has been particularly hard, but there have been times when I have cried myself to sleep at night hoping not to wake in the morning. It's not a pleasant feeling but personally that wasn't even enough to make me seek help - I just wonder about people's thresholds sometimes, and the kind of pain they must feel in order to seek out medication for the feelings they have.

EDIT: Would also like to clarify that I'm not judging anyone else's usage - just amazed at the numbers of people on here that seem to have used medications for anxiety/depression.

I get 5 weeks annual leave a year.

[cookiepuss]

I'm not sure what some of you think depression meds do, but it's not like it turns people in to zombies, ya know. we still have emotions, but we're a little more in control of them. In my experience, when you're crying everyday uncontrollably, it kinda hard to hold down a job and function.

one more time: the meds help the person COPE with depression, they don't erradicate depression. you still need to do therapy or something else to figure out the core of the problem.

[AceFace]

i've actually worked on cutting back my medications. i now only take stuff for my allergies and asthma.

i used to take a thyroid pill but i started eating foods healthy for your thyroid and i don't have to take them anymore.

i also took an antidepressant, but with therapy and help from drug, i don't have to take that anymore either.

i used to be on the pill, but boy was i allergic to that!
