Has anyone ever had or even heard of anyone having hallucinations as a side effect of zoloft?

Hi,

I think I have dysthimic (chronic) depression, because I have all the symptoms of depression for more than 5 years know. But I've never been to a doctor/psychiater so I don't know for sure. I don't want to go since I want to solve everything myself and don't like medication. My main problems are that I have zero energy and zero confidence, so I can't/don't do anything. Sometimes I try to get active but ...

OK, for those of you that don't know, my aunt died on March 17, 2003, St. Patrick's Day, and she was like a mom to me. I changed after she died. I started to feel like my life was worthless without her, heck, I still feel like that a lot. OK, so anyways. I was talking to Tracy earlier and when I told her what was going on she suggested that I post about it ...

Instead of telling you the sad story of my life i am looking for a reason to keep on living.

Tomorrow I will be 57 and I feel depressed not because of being one year older but because of another year of carring the burden of past failures. 9 years ago my business collasped and we lost the family home, moved to a new country to escape the shame and tried to start again. It's been very hard and each day I realise that we no longer have our own home to retire to and ...

I was depressed about 6am, called the Crisis Team, chatted to them & felt ok, went to sleep. Anyway, then I go into work feeling abit shaky & the (Well known) customer from hell comes in. He decides he wants me to serve him (I'm a Checkout Op) & I really can't face it, knowing it'd be one of my triggers with how I was already that particular day, so as the customers still ...
