Zoloft, how long did it take??!


Question: Zoloft, how long did it take!?!?
I have been on 50mg of Zoloft for anxiety and depression for 12 days!. I think I am feeling some better but it's so hard to tell at first!. Could anybody shed some light on how long it took before it kicked in pretty well!? I still have a good bit of anxiety and still feel kinda blah!. I have been exercising and taking Omega 3, Vitamin B Complex, and a good multi-vitamin!. I'm doing everything I know to do to combat this bout of anxiety/depression that I am going through!. I have major reccurent bouts of depression but have never been on Zoloft but I have been on several other antidepressants!.!.!.just want to see how this compares!. Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi Dutch,
I'm in my 5th week and feel finally like myself again!. The first week was horrible, second week still not so great!.!.!.fourth week I finally started to feel the results!. I think it's because it's older it takes longer to kick in!. Just stick it out for the 4 weeks, and you'll feel a difference!. If you don't start feeling like yourself after the 4th week, maybe try a different ssri!. I used to take lexapro, and it only took 2 weeks to feel full results!. Newer drug though so less studies on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

SSRI's take a while to start working with your system before you see any concrete results!. It can take a month or more before the desired equalibrium is reached!. They may need to scale you up to a higher dosage, and it is not like you are just going to start feeling happy again, you just kind of feel a little more open to people and things, and a little less like you need to hide out in your room just to survive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ugh I hated zoloft for the first 2 weeks it knocked me out then after I couldnt ever go to sleep and my eyes were all dilated!. I think medication does different things to people and takes different times to take affect!. I stopped taking it because I had no emotion ever!. My cat died and I didnt even cry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

zoloft takes about 2 to 3 weeks for you to feel better!. Some it helps and others it does not!. Try exercising or swimming or B vitamins should kick you with some energy!. go to ymca or gym!.!.!.!.!.it could not hurt! Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
