Another thing is depression can often come from the gut, which is a bit trickier to deal with.

Most of your circulating dopamine is produced in the gut.Gut health is of vital importance to well being.

It may not occur to you but your gut is actually a sort-of second brain. It contains over 300 million neurons, and affects our mood and behavior, and is considered to be the source of intuition (gut feelings are actually valuable input.) Furthermore, damage to our gut biomes: the colonies of bacteria that live inside us and keep us healthy, has been implicated in many mental diseases, including autism. Poor gut health is a major factor in neurotransmitter imbalances .

My wife and daughter both take it for anxiety and sing its praises. In both cases, the decision to medicate were not taken lightly and both would ideally prefer not to be on them, but after experiencing life both with and without, they insist on the Zoloft.

I’m in the same boat,

first Round I ramped up the dosage
Had mild stomach discomfort and always had to poop unexpectedly..
But sides went away after a while or they simmered down.

2nd round I started right where I left off plus another 50mg (200mg)
And dang, I was pooping uncontrollably..

Other than that side effect, I love the stuff .. I’m a much happier person on it.
And I don’t have the “doom” feeling.. from my anexity / last health problems

this is where all my problems originated .. it was BRUTAL.. dealing with all this ..
Ive wrecked a motorcycle doing 87mph. Couldn’t walk for a bit and that was a cake walk compared to the nightmare I went thru with my gut / esophagus... and the anexity that came out of it etc..
