I know, I want to send you an email, but my mood has been so low. You will get one today. :)
I remember the stomach upset from Zoloft. A pdoc in the hospital was going to take me off it because he thought it would make my anorexia worse. It did for a few weeks, but then it stopped.
The other thing I now remember is that I trouble with "word find". I hated that. That didn't go away. But right now, I need to get my mood up ASAP and then try to think of what else I can do.
Have you ever not taken a med because of weight gain? How powerful is your ED?

> Hey, Girlfriend -- Zoloft is my favorite of the SSRIs, and the only one I'd take again at this point. Some initial GI side effects, in the first couple of weeks, but after that there was virtually no problems for me. Except apathy and emotional blunting, which can sometimes be a good thing. Initially, I lost weight on it, and over six or so months I probably did gain a little, but NOTHING like on any other medication. (And remember -- I was also in treatment for my ED, AND getting fertility treatments. In fact, I know I gained some weight when the fertility doctor said I was too thin to conceive.)
