Zoloft and Progesterone

by Natalia
(Abu Dhabi)

I am a 34 year old female. I started using Zoloft 6 months ago. It has helped with concentration and short-temperedness.

The depression has subsided but I still feel lethargic in the Luteal Phase and during menses. I also have a fibroid. I would like to know if I can use progesterone during this time.

Hi Natalia. Yes you can use progesterone while on Zoloft. But you might consider coming off the Zoloft slowly. There are many natural antidepressants which have no adverse side affects, unlike the Zoloft. Please see here. It sounds as if you do need progesterone, judging by your symptoms. Fibroids are caused by excess oestrogen, which is also causing the lethargy etc. For more info on fibroids, please see here.

As you have excess oestrogen, you should read this page before you start progesterone, as oestrogen dominance can be very disconcerting. Take care, Wray
