So, i've been on Zoloft for 3 months. I went from 50 mg to 75 and am no currently on 100. I dont think it's working but i havent told the doctor yet. I feel suicidal but then i find a reason to continue on but then i feel like this urge to cut myself. I've NEVER done this before in my life, but like, i cant help this urge to do it. And i wont do it because i'm the worst at handling pain. I cant even handle the tiniest amount of pain. But like i said, i cant help but get rid of this urge. And i'm too afraid to tell anyone because i dont want anyone to like look at me differently and what not. I'm scared and i'm looking for advice. Anyone?

You need to alert your Dr. ASAP. This is nothing to fool around with, the urge to do these things can become so overwhelming that you can't fight it anymore. It sounds to me like the Zoloft is causing the new problems. Sometimes when starting a new anti-depressant it will actually have the opposite effect and will make you more depressed, and suicidal. I imagine your Dr. will change you to another drug.

Oh yes, you need to contact your doctor asap.
Zoloft is not the one for you. He will change it, and you will feel much better soon. Call his or her office tomorrow and make an appointment PLEASE! Why on earth would you even put yourself through this??
