I hated Zoloft the first week! In fact I stopped. The doc started me on 50mg then go to 100mg after the first week. I could not get passed the first week, horrible side effects, then I googled the starting dosage for Zoloft and found 25mg is the usual, so I started taking a 1/4 pill = 25mg and found that much easier to cope with. By the end of the second week I started loving Zoloft! It's now my second favorite antidepressant after Wellbutrin which I am still on too. It totally eliminated my low level anxiety, curved most of my moderate to feel like low level. So far has done nothing for severe or attacks but I'm only at 50mg so far. Any way just eliminating all my low end which was constantly there all the time is a big relief and worth it for me because IMHO that was the worse! Constant nagging anxiety even if its low is exhausting and torture! My moderate, severe and attacks have always been fewer, so now I can save my xanax for the times I really need it most. I'm very please with Zoloft and can honestly say I benefit from it! Yesterday was the first elevated day I've had in a long time! I was elevated all day with a smile on my face that could not be wiped off. Totally in-effected by stress or any bad ills. It was GREAT! Give it a couple of weeks before you judge it! It's not a cure all but if it helps you in any way your ahead of the game as far as I'm concerned. Good luck to you!
