Mood Swings/Aggression - Taking Zoloft for depression and Noten for blood pressure

	Asked by Unregistered on Thu 03, Apr 2008 08:58am :
	Concerning Mood Swings/Aggression. Over the last 12 mths i was taking zoloft for depression (post natal & general). i gained @ 15kg which i found out on line that zoloft is notoriouse for causing weight gain. my dr told me otherwise! I was taking 200mg and over the past 2 mths i've weaned myself off them by 50mg per wk. I've been completely off them now for @ 7-8 wks & lost 5.5 - 6 kg. Over the last mth I've been increasingly aggro, scaling from 0-100 in around 1.5 seconds!! I know it's unreasonable but I can't seem to stop myself. I have a 3 yr old daughter whom i don't want to see this aggro behaviour as normal, because it's not! I don't feel it's depression though, I'm leaning more towards hormonal inbalance, menopause? I'm 43 this year. Would evening primrose oil help? I'm taking Noten for Blood Pressure as well. I'm not going back on anti-depression tablets again as I really feel it's something else.
