Hi i am a 49 yr. old male at a crossroad in life. My wife threatens me with divorce regularly. I have been struggling with this issue for ten years well maybe longer, like a lifetime ok. I started zoloft 2 weeks ago. Prozac was a failure,(97-2001) alcohol during use is the culprate according to her. SOBER 2 weeks as well. The sides have been nausea, cramps and weight loss (OK !!) No suicidal thoughts. General feeling of maybe getting better but the stress of the marital issues are overshadowing all hope at this juncture. Any guidance on this med would be of help, when should i have less nausea ect...

Dear pwestart,

It sounds like you are in the midst of a very difficult time in your life, but that things may be looking up. I am not sure how long side effects of Zoloft tend to last, but you may want to consult your doctor if the persist too long as is suggested on our page about Zoloft. I hope this is helpful.

Best of Luck,

Holly

I know just how you feel right now. My marriage of 23 years ended because my ex couldn't handle my ms. My ms caused my depression to get worse. I was trying to work and go to college at the same time. This cause to much stress on me and made my ms worse. I had lost my eye sight temperley to ms and so I lost my job and leave college. My depression got even more out of control than. He had all he could take and he just found someone else to ease his pain. He left and took all the money and cars and made me and my children homeless. Now at this point in my life the depression hit its all time high and I wanted to give up and just die. I had to find away out fast. I'm taking lexapro and wellbutrin now. But the best thing is coming to this site and letting all out. God bless you and please don't give up.

I am not going to give up any time soon. I am commited to making this work if at all possible. I am going to work on me and hope that it's a start on fixing us as a family. The dynamics are complicated to say the least. I am a determined and tenacious person when I am pushed. I have been shoved this time by my wife and kids in front of the mirror and I did not like what I saw looking back at me. Can I make it through this? I think so! Will it be painful, sure! I stand to lose them all if I fail, I sure dont want that outcome. Thanks fo the post.
