Reasons for taking Zoloft?

[0603david]

OK, I have taken ZOloft in the past for uncontrollable depression spouts. I am pregnant right now and fighting ever day to not cry and commit myself to a home, almost. I'm debating whether or not I have a legitimate reason to go on Zoloft again. I just don't want to be a pill popper because I have a bad day. However, I really cannot deal with life situations. For instance, I worry about my kids getting ran over by cars, my husband cheating on me, my husband not saying the right things, money, growing old......
I know these are concerns by everyone but these consume my head everyday to the point of tears some days. I know my relationship has changed some since having 2 kids but I think I need some help in dealing with everyday stresses. What do you guys think? Oh, and counseling does not help that much and I cannot afford it.

its possible to worry yourself sick

if worry is the main problem, books on how to stop worrying have useful advice

if the zoloft helped before with depression and anxiety it should help again and is often taken by pregnant women with no harm to mother or baby

I am on 100mg of Zoloft a day for anxiety and depression. I don' think it helps AT ALL. I am also on Trileptal and Seroquel. What I am is an addict and the only thing I like is mind/mood altering substances, though. I hate the Zoloft for the sexual side effects. My neighbor is on Paxil and it is basically the same thing as Zoloft. She needs it and it helps her. She took it all throughout her pregnancy and it was safe. I don't consider her a pill popper, I consider it taking care of herself. I consider myself a pill popper. Do what is healthy for you after asking your doctor, it would NOT be considered pill popping to take your Zoloft. Jennier

Is that true can pregnant women take zoloft during pregnancy?? and it will not harm the baby?? even during the first trimester?? any information would be helpful.

look up antidepressants and pregnancy on the net, they are now taken often during pregnancy and several studies all show no harm

however some docs dont like the idea so you may need to find a doc who does
