While i do not agree with giving medication advice to others, i can share my story here.
First, i'd like you to remember everyone's system is quite different and each of us respond differently to drugs; therefore, my experiences, good or bad, do not represent everyone else's.
I am very sensitive to medication, and have had difficulty with many anti-depressants, not just zoloft.
i took zoloft successfully for a few years, and all at once, i was sent into a manic episode which landed me in the hospital. the doctor did not correlate the medication with the episode, and i continued taking the drug. the longer i took it the more 'episodes' i had and was hospitalized on a few occasions. finally, i stopped taking zoloft, and the episodes subsided. at the time i didn't think the zoloft was causing the mania.
Subsequently, i took a few different types of anti-depressants with the same results -- manic overload.. aggressive feelings agitation, overthinking, impulsive, and i started drinking.
Finally, during a hospitalization, my NEW psychiatrist took a look at my history, and put 2 + 2 together. He determined it was the anti-depressants.
Although i really do need something for depression, i can't take a thing... so i ride it out.
i hope this helped....but please remember, my case does not represent the general population.
I have found it to be effective, however only take 25mg a day, found 50mg affects my concentration.
