From a doctor? Chances are he knows what he is doing.

I think that it might depend on the kind of test that you use.  If you do a receptor specific test, then i would say no, because as stated before, Zoloft acts at the serotonin recptor (SSRI = selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor).  Most benzodiazepines act at the GABA receptor.  However, if you look at the structures of Zoloft and diazepam (a benzodiazepine), they look very similar.  Basically they have three ring strucutres and are chlorinated.  So i would say the answer is maybe.

you have made me remember a friend from 20 years ago who drove us crazy comp;aining about this condition i regret not being more understanding of the terrible pain she was experiencing at the time believe me the only thing that helped this dear friend was valium. if worse comes to worse try it because i personally witnessed a complete reversal of her condition when she started to take it,perhaps it works as a dental muscle relaxor or something like that i know the dentist here uses the valium for a lot of procedures anyway be well.

Increases endorphins - mood enhancers.

Heroin and morphine are both opioids, \nderived from the poppy.\n\nMorphine is far less addictive.\n\nUsually people die from mixing opioids \nand cocaine, called a speedball.\n\nOzone is O3 and I'm sure they aren't connected\nin any obvious way.\nOzone isn't even a stable molecule.\n\n3O2 + UV light -> 2O3

I feel nauseous and grouchy as hell, I have terrible dreams, and I feel like crap the next day- But, I've never taken it for recreation, either.  Once you get addicted to morphine, the high it gives you slowly goes away, until you have to take it just to feel like a normal person, and when you dont have it you're depressed and anxious...not a safe thing to play with.

A potentially fatal drug interaction caused by combining drugs that raise the level of serotonin in the patient's nervous system to dangerously high levels. The symptoms of serotonin syndrome include shivering, overreactive reflexes, nausea, low-grade fever, sweating, delirium, mental confusion, and coma. \ni have not heard of getting this while using cymbalta alone but that dosen't mean it can't happen. ask your dr.

I am uncertain how Zoloft would affect you. If you feel sleepy from it at all,it could very well be affecting your memory. Depression itself can affect your memory. If this continues, speak to your doctor as you may be overmedicated. Good Luck

my wife has been diagnosed with depression and put on 100 mg of Zoloft. Things have been rather rocky for the last few months around here. I believe she hasn't been making some decisions as rationally as she used to, and our ability to communicate is slipping. we are encountering quiet a few problems lately . I do think some of them are due to her depression but not all of them

I was on Zoloft for afew years. I remeber clearly at the beginning feeling nauseated. Its nothing to worry about, just your body adapting to the sertraline passing through your stomach lining. Good to take it with food. I personally reccomend having some peppermints or peppermint tea around. Its a natural calmative for the digestive system.\n\nJust remember, medication is just a bandaid unless you have an actual imbalance. Make sure you get good work with a psychiatrist/therapist. Best of luck, hope your feeling better soon =)

Zoloff is a longer term mood stabilizer. My spouse takes it and it has done her VERY well to improve quality of life and reduce her blood pressure. \n\nXanax is available to her for panic attacks and anxiety. She used to take it when she had such sumpoms and it did stabilize her. She eventually went to 1/2 pill and then as needed, which she generally does not now. She did take 1/2 to get on a jet, which she hates doing. \n\nTake the doctors advice and start your therapy. The worst side effects is initial fatigue, but you will feel better in the long run.  Don;t drive while taking it initially until you get adjusted.\n\nIF you do have a panic disorder, consider phychotherapy. It does have a better resolution rate.\n\nnterestingly, she was very concerned about dependency on medicine and such and resisted the pills. She would have lost her husband and family and perhaps freedom without it, but now that she takes it, life is good. Analyze your situation of why you are taking it...certainly the doc didn;t offer it for HIS/HER health

Alcohol and any sort of antidepressant dont mix. It hightens your reaction to the alcohol and can cause respiritory failure, cardiac issues and/or liver damage. Its better to look like an idiot than get really sick and prove that you are one!

Warning: Sex is a most strange, addictive drug without ingredients, in the name of love; Sex overdosing is an extremely destructive self-destruction, but unfortunately you will die for it (you become addictive to sex)!!!!!  When you have sex overdosed, your brain's acetylcholine, dopamine, serotonin and GABA nervous systems are burned out, your hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal and testicular (ovarian) axis are partially or fully disabled,  your blood chemistry is changed with a chronic elevation of epinephrine, prolactin and prostaglandin E-2 for sexual exhaustion symptoms and sympathetic nervous fires (anxiety, stress, mood swing, sleeping disorders, inflammatory pains, vision disorders, ear ringing, fatigue, brain disorders and so on) with a lack of healing and restoration forces, even if you are female,  and your excessive "love" ingredient becomes a poison to your health!  Realistically, your organs are bathed in the "bad" blood very day!!!  It is expected that the cellular DNA/genes in the organs will be gradually changed for worse, accordingly. Your 20-year old body then become 60 years old!!!!\n\nVisit below Given web site\nhttp://www.actionlove.com/

I've cut and pasted this information from the link below.  If you want to see the tables, follow the link.  For more information, try a google search and you'll get tons of responses.\n\nSerotonin syndrome is described in the literature as a potentially serious drug-related condition characterized by a number of mental, autonomic and neuromuscular changes.1 Although serotonin syndrome can cause death, the condition is mild in most persons, and with supportive care alone they tend to recover completely. The syndrome, first described in animal models in the 1950s, was referred to as the "serotonin behavioral" or "hyperactivity syndrome."1 Reports of serotonin syndrome in humans followed, and have become increasingly frequent since the 1960s. The earliest reports involved persons who were taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Some of the early reports included patients who were also taking tryptophan, a serotonin precursor.1,2\n\nSerotonin syndrome is most often reported in patients taking two or more medications that increase CNS serotonin levels by different mechanisms. The most common drug combinations associated with serotonin syndrome involve the MAOIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and the tricyclic antidepressants.3 Because of the dramatic rise in the use of SSRIs, it is predicted that emergency room physicians are going to encounter the serotonin syndrome more frequently than in the past.1\n\nSerotonin Syndrome Risk Factors\n\nRisk factors for the development of serotonin syndrome are unclear, but some trends are becoming apparent as more cases appear in the literature. Some researchers have suggested that peripheral vascular disease and atherosclerosis may lead to severe vasospasm and hypertension in the presence of elevated serotonin levels. This seems paradoxical, since in peripheral areas of the body serotonin usually causes vasodilation. However, in patients with vascular disease serotonin can lead to profound vasoconstriction.6 \n\nAnother risk factor relates to drug metabolism rate. Slow metabolizers of SSRIs (approximately 7% of the population) may produce higher than normal levels of these antidepressants in the blood. A slow metabolizer receiving an SSRI in combination with another agent that raises serotonin levels is therefore at increased risk of developing serotonin syndrome.6\n\nClinical Features and Differential Diagnosis\n\nMental status changes are the most frequently reported symptoms associated with serotonin syndrome.2 Other commonly reported features include motor abnormalities, cardiovascular changes, gastrointestinal problems and miscellaneous changes such as diaphoresis and fever (TABLE 1).2,4 Martin refers to three categories of symptoms that are present: altered mental status, autonomic dysfunction and neuromuscular abnormalities.1 Sporer indicates that at least three of the following must be present for a diagnosis: mental status changes, agitation, myoclonus, hyperreflexia, fever (hyperpyrexia), shivering, diaphoresis, ataxia and diarrhea in the setting of a recent addition or increase in dose of an agent that raises serotonin levels. Sporer also points out that there should be no other obvious causes of the confusion and/or fever, and that no antipsychotic medications have been used or increased in dose prior to the onset of symptoms.3\n\nPoisonings and other diseases, such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), can cause symptoms that are very similar to serotonin syndrome (TABLE 3). Martin offers suggestions that may be useful in differentiating serotonin syndrome from these conditions. One is an observation that bromocriptine has been proposed as a treatment for NMS and a cause or precipitant of serotonin syndrome. Another is that NMS occurs from prolonged exposure to neuroleptic agents or withdrawal of dopamine agonists, and there is lead-pipe rigidity with NMS, in contrast to myoclonus or hyperreflexia seen in persons with serotonin

I've taken Zoloft before and the 2 main side effect I've experienced are urinary incontinency and nightmares. Hallucinations are possible depending on how long a person has been taking the drug. Go to Web MD and see if you can find out. It's a good web site.
