Current Events > Has anyone taken Zoloft? What did it feel like?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My doctor prescribed me it for my anxiety and panic disorder. Dont like taking any medicine really and anti depressants freak me out.

I also am debating smoking weed since it's legal here in San Diego

---

My mom told me about the side effects and Zoloft can cause insomnia.

If you smoke weed, smoke a VERY small amount to try it. It can amp up your anxiety like crazy if you aren't careful

---

Ditch the pills
Smoke more

I had to play around with taking my meds at different times, to figure out what worked. If I took it in the morning, I got drowsy, and if I took it right before bed, I would wake up with insomnia. Finally figured out a good time to take it where I could sleep just fine.

Other than that, it tended to work well and helped me out.

You gotta find someone else to tell you which weeds are best for this. I just meant use controlled intake. My tolerance went to shit in my 20s so the difference of one hit can change me from fun time mindstate to an anxious mindstate. I literally factor in everything from where Im gonna be, who Im gonna be around, how much has my tolerance grew since starting again etc.

My high is very fickle. Like outdoors I can smoke like double the amount without anxiety. If I got my mind set on an activity, I can do more.

Yeah it made it hard for me to sleep.

Anyway it ended up just making me even more bi polar and now I'm on bi polar meds.

This. Smoking ended up making my anxiety exponentially worse. Got so bad if I had an anxious thought I'd get a panic attack, had to give it up.

I didn't really notice any negative side effects, just that my anxiety/depression were more manageable. I take it in the morning, so it doesn't mess with my sleep.

I mean it kinda dulled my social anxiety but it wasn't really worth the side effects. I was also on 2 other meds at the time so who knows the interaction.

As said, go easy on the herb til you get some tolerance. I would get hella paranoid in public until I got used to smoking more frequently
