Zoloft

Free Defective Drugs Case Review

For the millions of patients who have taken Zoloft over the years in an effort to help curb their tendencies toward depressive episodes, the drug has seemed wonderful. After all, its advertisements tout its effectiveness in helping persons become less saddled by the cloud of depression. But many are now starting to question whether Zoloft is really "fool's gold."

Zoloft, one of Pfizer's many medications and certainly one of its most lucrative, has been marketed as extremely safe and as a result been used widely. However, this drug may result in side effects or may have contraindications that no one was warned about, as many unhappy Zoloft users have found.

To be sure, lower risk side effects of Zoloft, such as mania or a loss of libido, have been noted; though these are not life-threatening, they are annoyances and can definitely interfere with the quality of a patient's life.

More dangerous risks that have only recently come to light are suicidal thoughts and actions. These side effects have especially been noted in younger persons taking Zoloft, which was approved in 2003 for use in 6-17 year olds with severe obsessive compulsive disorders (OCDs).

Unfortunately, it seems that while Zoloft alleviates some individuals' mood swings, it doesn't work on their depression right away. Therefore, younger persons taking Zoloft become more energetic, but are still depressed; and for those who may lean toward suicide, that renewed sense of energy coupled with major depression translates into the ability to carry out the act of taking ones life.

For those persons and their loved ones who counted on Zoloft to alleviate the pressures of depression, this side effect's deadly results are devastating.

Though Pfizer now has openly accepted the fact that their manufactured drug Zoloft may increase suicidal behavior (and their warning labels speak to that side effect), those who have experienced this effect (or their families) may be able to file lawsuits against the drug maker.

My husband attempted suicide after taking zoloft for about two weeks. It was prescribed to him while he was inpatient at a psychiatric center for depression. One week after discharge, he took over 260 various pills and nearly died. He was on a ventilator for 3 days and in ICU for a week. Is there any responsibility on the drug makers part in addition to his own responsibility for his actions?

My grand daughter was taking zoloft a few years back, and was constantly talking about killing herself, and other family members. This was very disturbing. She is still under medical care and is still experiencing some of these side effects as of last week to be exact.Now I am also taking zoloft for depression and anxiety.I have explained to my doctor these feelings I get ,like nerveousness,scary feelings, like something bad is about to take place,cant go to sleep,or afraid to go to sleep,and even suicide.I also have heart palpations,,trembling of my lips, dizziness and shortness of breath.

I had major mood swings and felt the horrible electric shock through my arms and chest after only a few days off of it . I am afraid to stop taking it because I have 2 kids and cant aford to loose my mind while my body goes through the withdrawl \"which zoloft is not supposed to have !!!\" I have been bad deppresed for about 3 months now and at one point attempted suicide but thankfully I came to my senses enough to throw-up the bottle of pills ! It is still a battle every day to just be able to function .

My wife has been on zoloft for two years and it has almost destroyed our marriage. We have four fine sons and I don\'t know how to get her off it. She doesn\'t believe it if affecting her. She is cold,agressive,easily agitated, anxious about everything, no contact between us, kisses, etc. She can\'t be reasoned with and says bad things about me to parents and they want us to divorce. How can I stop this? She also could turn violent. I fear for my family in many aspects. Thank You Mike Mullen

I had been on zoloft for over 10 years, finally got off it 10/2008. I too had trouble with rage, terrible thoughts of revenge, self-isolation, unable to sleep, restless legs, and severe tiredness. I could not rationalize any situation and slept all my spare time. constant hunger,Gained weight. severe acid reflux that now has become ulcers, lessions and large hiatus hernia and anemia because of bleeding. I couldn\'t even lay down to sleep. I wasted 15 years of my life because I was so sedated I couldn\'t make see delusion from fact! To Mike, please if you can get your wife off this, it only gets worse. My doctors insisted that all this was my depression and I should increase my dose. I retired 10 yrs before I needed to because I could no longer deal with even small things. I finally refused to take it any longer, took me three months to decrease doses. withdrawal gave me bouts of itching, pinpricks, bouts of ranting and anxiety. I am now starting to have bouts of clariety, reflux much better but damage is done. These drug companies are not releasing all the results on these drugs, I like 15 years of my life back!

I took zoloft for almost one year at the age of 17. At the time, I chose to stop taking zoloft because it made me feel \"wierd\". Now, 11 years later, I have just begun to realize the many side-effects I experienced from this drug. Some of the side effects lasted for five years and more. Taking this drug caused a major set-back in my life.
