why did you stop taking it before? i'm just wondering because i have a similar love/hate relationship with zoloft. i get off it because it doesn't work, i get back on it and have side effects like ideation, then off, then on.... and on and on and on.... oh and it isn't true that it takes a week or whatever to work. thats no placebo effect, that is real. it really does hit you right away like a tylenol does. just doesnt peak & stabilize til a couple weeks is all.
