I JUST STARTED ZOLOFT ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AND I AM 15 WEEKS PG. THEY JUST HAD ME

WAIT UNTIL THE 10 WEEK MARK AND I WAITED A LITTLE LONGER. I TALKED TO MY REG

DOC AND MY OB AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT IT IS OK. I COULD NOT HANDLE ANYTHING

WITHOUT IT. I AM ONLY 3 WEEKS BUT I FEEL BETTER ALREADY. AND I TOLD THEM I

DEFINITLY NEEDED IT BEFORE THE POSTPARTUM BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WOULD

HAPPEN!!

Tricia...

I hear ya, girl! I had Zoloft for my first pregnancy but that was

pre-op so who knows how I will react now. Sounds like I'll react

pretty well considering that you feel better. With me these drugs

don't take long at all to hit...about a week. They always say 3

weeks at least but I don't think they stop to consider how long the

patient has been on the drugs and how sensitized he/she is to them.

Anyway... I'm glad you're doing fine!!

Thank you Aali,

It is nice to know I am not alone out there with the Zoloft. I feel like a

Leper sometimes ya know.

Everyone thinks you should walk around with all these good thoughts in your

head. I am thinking if you only knew what I was thinking right now you would

lock me up!!

Oh well, at least there is help out there.
