hi,

I'm moving into zoloft room now. It's been 1,5 months of trying to get a med working this time, and I'm pretty tired already, as well as still depressed :( I started with cymbalta, which gave me horrible side effects, I wasn't eating for a week, and eventually I was very weak from this med. Then pdoc put me to prozac, which had worked very well for me in the past. well, after 4,5 weeks on that it seems that it's not doing it's job this time, and I'm switching. upping prozac would not be a good idea, since it's very energizing med, and I already have a lot of trouble with sleeping.

I'm also using seroquel 75mg at night for sleeping, I have taken it 1,5 years already. It worked better in the beginning.

zoloft is supposed to be good for post-traumatic stress disorder, which I have been diagnosed with, and also with social phobia, which I have to some degree.

Anyway - few questions - how does zoloft influence eating and sleeping? I have trouble eating, I would love to get some appetite back. And I also have trouble sleeping.

And I really really hope this med will help me.

I will start today with half of a tablet of zoloft 50mg. or should I be careful and start with quarter? is it a drug with lots of side-effects?

oh, I guess it will be trial and error again and nobody can give me exact answers.. but I'm so tired of this all already.... :(
