In reply to Zoloft not working - should I be taking SSRIs?, posted by tricia001 on July 11, 2000, at 14:46:55
> I have been taking Zoloft for three and a half years now, along with Buspar. I don't think it's doing the trick. Until reading these threads I've felt that my only options were to take this medication or go back to my absolutely horrible life of depression and anxiety and guilt and yelling and staying indoors. I've tried Prozac, but it made me feel so indifferent. I like the buspar (I think), but I'm not sure about the Zoloft. I feel like half of my emotions are gone. I used to be a very creative person, but I've lost so much of that creativity. Are these my only options? Others on these threads have talked about losing emotions, etc. Is it because Zoloft is an SSRI? I don't want to be depressed or anxious, and Zoloft helps with anxiety. But I miss my emotions - and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx has played in my life until now...and I don't know if it's a good role. Does anyone have advice or suggestions?

Tricia,
Your experience with Zoloft is very common. I just added a post to a different thread that pertains to this very topic. You might want to check it out. I'm just being lazy and don't want to retype it all again. Go up the page a little ways to a thread titled Prozac, by Sue.
