Zoloft is prescribed to
treat depression,
anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and OCD (obsessive compulsive
disorders). It has also been used to treat extreme premenstrual syndrome and
sexual dysfunctions (premature ejaculation). Zoloft claims to work by restoring
the balance of chemicals within the brain.
Zoloft has a side effect which deadens sexual
sensation, hence being prescribed for premature ejaculation. As the side effects
continue an erection also becomes difficult.
Psychiatrists agree: "If you were to just leave a
patient alone and not prescribe Zoloft, the patient would be better in 4 to 12
weeks." Zoloft prescribed for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress
disorder also deadens the person where they can no longer feel.
Occasionally, >2 <75 Zoloft users will become
agitated. The Zoloft agitation tends to persist until additional drugs are
prescribed to deaden the feelings further.

Alert from the F.D.A.
FDA ALERT [07/2005]: Suicidal Thoughts or Actions in
Children and Adults
Patients with depression or other mental illnesses often
think about or attempt suicide. Closely watch anyone taking antidepressants,
especially early in treatment or when the dose is changed. Patients who become
irritable or anxious, or have new or increased thoughts of suicide or other
changes in mood or behavior (or their care givers) should contact their
healthcare professional right away.
Children
Taking antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts and actions in about 1
out of 50 people 18 years or younger. FDA has approved Zoloft for use in
children only if they have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Adults
Several recent scientific publications report the possibility of an increased
risk for suicidal behavior in adults who are being treated with antidepressant
medications. Even before these reports became available, FDA began a complete
review of all available data to determine whether there is an increased risk of
suicidal thinking or behavior in adults being treated with antidepressant
medications. It is expected that this review will take a year or longer to
complete. In the meantime, FDA is highlighting that adults being treated with
antidepressant medication, particularly those being treated for depression,
should be watched closely for worsening of depression and for increased suicidal
thinking or behavior.
This information reflects FDA’s preliminary
analysis of data concerning this drug. FDA is considering, but has not reached a
final conclusion about, this information. FDA intends to update this sheet when
additional information or analyses become available.
