I just started it. Any stories? I am all ears. Reasons for taking it? Side-effects you experienced? Did it work for you? How long? Thanks!

Experiencing very tired and sleepy with at least 10 hours of sleep required per day. No such thing as a nap for me. Just comatose sleep for long time.

Got some intense back pain, which is an uncommon side-effect of the drug. Half way done the supply, so I will suck it up till it runs out.

Using Omega 3 Fish oil tabs, Coral Calcium, and Cat's Claw to control the colitis. It seems to be working very well!

Will purchase 5-htp to start as soon as Zoloft runs out. Doing so very slowly and carefully for fear of giving myself seratonian syndrome. Only a fraction of the dose will be taken and then gradually work myself up to a normal dose in a few weeks.

Going to double the intake of Zoloft to 100mg per day for about a week starting tonight. Then switch to 200mg for my last three or so days while purchasing St. John's Wort, SAMe or 5htp, and magnesium.

Hopefully I will side-step the seratonian syndrome, if I experience anything similair to it, I will stop for a bit. From my understanding St John's Wort will simulate an SSRI in effect by slowing the breakdown and uptake of seratonian. The 5htp or SAMe will create more seratonian in me.

Don't worry. I will start very slow once the drug runs out in about 10 or so days with the supplements.
