Going back on meds???

Hello eveyone.

So I have been off meds for over a yr and i think it is time to try them again. My depression and anxiety has been horrible, especially right before my cycle so my md suggested i try zoloft for a week before and thats the only time i woould take it. what do you think? it sounds like i would be all out of wack then?? have any of you ever heard of that?  i am so scared to go back on meds- i can't gain anymore weight. the last time i took something it was paxil and i gain about 30 lbs in about 2 months. i am recovering from and eating disorder and that paxil just set me into a relapse. I cant have that happen again- i have been working so hard.

Any one here have good experiences with meds for depression and ocd? not effecting the sex life or weight gain??

The side effects of anti depressants can be so harsh.
I have been off of meds for almost 2 years now and struggle with that everyday.
Keep a record of weight gain or loss and keep in close contact with your doctor.
If you find that you are gaining weight, they should be able to put you on something else.
My son had the weight gain problem with his meds,and finally his doctor switched him to something else.
He had to change his eating habits though,and excersise before it worked.
Good Luck

Hi Mish
I do not know about zoloft. Usually most antidepressants take up to two weeks to take full effect.
I would contact your regular Doctor and ask them. I am not saying the Gyne does not know what they are talking about,but a second opinion is needed here I think.
