In reply to any success with Zoloft for ADHD ?, posted by francesco on March 23, 2004, at 8:24:56
Zoloft may help if you have depression/anxiety & if confusion, lack of motivation, etc. comes in part due to the depression. It may help clear some things up in that way...Utilizing Zoloft by itself would probably not be of much assistance to someone struggling with pronounced ADHD. I hope you find some peace & don't give up!!
Best,

> I know this isn't the drug of choice of this disturb. But I live in Italy and I can't get stimulant and here this diagnosis simply doesn't exist. Moreover in the past I managed to try Ritalin which didn't help while Anafranil on the other side helped a lot. My question is if anyone had positive experiences for Zoloft for adhd-like syntoms.
> I have problem in reading, sometimes also watching a film or follow a conversation, plus all the typical adhd-problems (procrastionation, lack of motivation and so on). In this period I'm also mild depressed so I think (I hope) Zoloft will at least help in this department. I have been prescribed it by a psychiatrist who knows me very well and I'm willful to start even if quite dubious.
