Is Zoloft a good medication for Anxiety and Depression?
I have just recently started Zoloft about 3 days now and i know it takes awhile before it takes affect and i have read about all these side affects and i'm nervous about taking it because i've heard about bad expriences of weaning off the medication. I have been going through alot emotionally and My anxiety has gotten worse in the last few months but i can't really tell if it's anxiety, depression or maybe if i just have a mood disorder, somthing has gotten worse. My doctor is not very good about the situation and i have seen others and i've been trying to get an appt. to see soemone but where i live it's difficult i had to wait for almost 2 months to get the appt. that i have upcoming and i feel as if i can't wait any longer and don't know if i can wait another month before this meds work! has anyone taken Zoloft before? i have heard that it is doctors first choice and it sometimes takes awhile before you find the right meds. I know it's a common medication for this illness and just wanted to hear some feed back about it if people have taken it before. Thanks

Medication effects everyone differently. That's why there are side effects. They most likely will not happen. Also if you do experience anything most of the time they go away once your body gets used to it after a few weeks. Some people zoloft will be there life saver. Others it wont work at all. Also make sure you are seeing a therapist or something of that nature. Really medicaiton is just part of the answer.

Well, my brother took zoloft because has a lot of anxiety problems and he said it made him worse. I caught him almost committing suicide and later, when he was off the meds, he admitted he didn't know what he was thinking and that it was the meds that made him MORE depressed. My suggestion is to take it for about a month and if you don't feel any change or if you are getting worse, get an appt. with your doctor and tell him you haven't gotten better. Don't worry, just stay calm and know they are doing something to help :) Goodluck!
