Not much help, but i was on Zoloft for a while and i dont think i had any symptoms with it but it slowly stopped helping at all so i was taken off of it. I usually remember any symptoms i get with meds and i dont think i had any with that. Sorry just thought id let you know somebodies listening!

Hi, I was on Zoloft for a very short time, because for me it tiggered my anxiety/ made it worse. I am going back to my doctor to get put on something else. My doctor though, didn't discuss anything with me and just put me on it. Medicines work differently for people. I heard that it takes a few weeks for you to notice if it's helping out or not anyways. Consult your doctor if you can't handle the side effects that may happen to you. Good luck!
