In reply to Apathy from SSRIs -- any suggestions?, posted by Racer on August 1, 2007, at 15:43:56
> So, can anyone offer any other suggestions? Might Zoloft be a better choice for SSRI?Hey Racer,
I can't really give you an opinion about whether Zoloft is a better choice, but my son takes Zoloft for depression and pretty severe OCD - disturbing obsessive thoughts as opposed to the compulsive action variety. It works very well for him on both counts.
If you're concerned about weight gain, I should tell you he was always a skinny kid but when he started Zoloft he blew up like Elvis once he discovered carbohydrates. On the other hand he has been able to lose weight with exercise and a good diet - its not been an intractable problem.
Take care,
Y
