Starting Zoloft today

I have been on lexapro for anxiety for the last year or so, and it has worked wonders. I have been depressed for the last two months so my doctor tried Wellbutrin along with the lexapro, didn't work. So now we are going to try Zoloft, nothing else along side of it. Any advice on when to take it? Any success stories? The anxiety is my main concern. When I'm depressed I will lay in bed all day but when I have panic attacks I lose all sense of logic and yell at everyone and I scream and if it's incredibly intense, I will hit my arm until it creates a bruise. It distracts me from the mental anxiety feeling.

Thank you. I took it this morning and so far I'm just super drowsy. That was expected though. I hope you find something that works for you too. I was very happy go lucky as well so this feeling is awful. I know how you feel.
