I started therapy after many many years without it around the same time I started taking Zoloft for situational depression (it had been the first time I had been on an antidepressant in over a decade and it's a low dose).

I'm feeling better. But having started the two around the same time, I can't tell whether it has been the therapy (which has been going well) or the med. It's important to me to make the distinction because I want off the zoloft because I think I already take a lot of meds and don't want yet another one.

Have any of you had this conundrum? Which modality has ended up being the helpful one: therapy or a new med? Or is it just impossible to tell the difference?
