hi
ive been really happy with zoloft. it is easy to adjust to but i dont know how helpful it is with my OCD but it definately helps my depression and anxiety.

I tried Zoloft before and my thoughts were really out of control,and the extra energy,did not help the compulsions.

I took zoloft for several years. When I was pregnant with my second child I started having delusional thoughts and I was hearing voices and my OCD was horribly out of control. My doctor prescribed zoloft and although I was still having some strange symptoms, the OCD did get better. I'm off meds now though and my symptoms are defenitely doing a number on me, lol.

I'm taking 50 mg of zoloft and that's about what I can tolerate. My pdoc put me on 200 mg in July to deal with irritability and it sent me into an obsessive tailspin.

I've been on 75 mg of zoloft for 6 months and I have almost no ocd thoughts or behaviors and no negative side effects. I really recommend it

zoloft also doesn't help with my compulsions. it is my "foundation drug", and even at the maximum dosage it doesn't help all that much, but i'd be worse off without it.

I'm on it, and I feel like its doing NOTHING...im having crazy side effects like very vivid dreams...crazy sweating...being very thristy...
