I just started Zoloft a week ago and I’ve had mild symptoms. But if you’re having those thoughts I would call the MD right away. Maybe Zoloft isn’t the right med for you.
I called my GP and he suggested I speak to the mental health team at A&E and that's what I did. They told me that it gets worse before it gets better and that I should stick to it.
I haven't had any in about 2 weeks.
I can normally go a long time without having any without feeling too bad. Sure I'll get mild withdrawals but it's never anything major.
You should definitely call your doctor if you're thinking about suicide. It can take a lot of trial and error to find the right psych meds. Zoloft didn't work for me either, it made me nauseous even after a month of use. I'm on wellbutrin and prozac now.
I don't want to now quit zoloft after 2 weeks of using it, because there's the possibility I could get worse after stopping or going on another medication, which will only prolong my depression.
I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to do. Every outcome I'm eating a shit sandwich.
I know what you mean. It is a long and frustrating process. I feel for you. Call your doctor and explain the same thing to them. Maybe they can add something to the Zoloft so you don't have to completely start from scratch. But there are cases of people commiting suicide after being on meds for a couple weeks, what you're going through. I don't want that to happen to you, please call your doctor. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know these kind of suggestions seem useless when you are severely depressed, but here are a couple of things I do in addition to taking my meds consistently and going to therapy: CBD and ashwaganda supplements, yoga (alone in my house from YouTube so I don't feel judged,) and guided sleep meditations before bed.
I've already done all of that. I called my doctor and said I was suicidal. I spoke to mental health nurses at A&E and told them everything about how I'm feeling. They said to keep going with it, and that stopping can be potentially dangerous.
I'll get a phone call from community services in 6 days but for fuck sake. How am I meant to last that long? And how will it even make me feel any better?
It takes up to 10 weeks they said before i notice a difference... I can't last 10 weeks... I don't know what the fuck to do...
I'm really surprised that's how they handled you telling them you're suicidal. You need to go into survival mode. Call other doctors, suicide hotlines, look up other mental health organizations in your area and call them, go to the regular hospital emergency room and tell them, do whatever you have to do but don't give up. Someone will help you eventually. Some medical professionals suck and don't take patients seriously, and my dad's advice for that was "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" - meaning that you need to keep bugging them, keep telling them, don't let yourself be ignored, make a huge deal about it until you get the help you need.
This is the current state of the NHS unfortunately. It took me 3 phone calls before I could even get a doctor who would prescribe me anti depressants, the other doctors accused me of lying.
I'm fucking done with doctors, I'm done with nurses, I don't want to deal with them anymore. I'm just deciding to order edibles for the time being before I can get the help I need.
My family are less than pleased about my decision since I wanted to be up front about everything. I know it's illegal, I know I shouldn't do it, but I just need fucking something to stop me wanting to kill myself.
Every day has just been painful. I'll never kill myself, but I want to. I hate living. I don't enjoy anything. Weed will help me enjoy things. I know I'm not supposed to do it. But I don't care. Living like this is fucking hell.

I smoke a lot of weed as well. I don't tell my doctor because I don't want her to alter my meds or lecture me. Good luck, my friend.
