I have been taking Zoloft for the last three weeks, and have not noticed any difference, other than sometimes I start to feel better by late afternoon. I started taking it because of anxiety which quickly became depression. My anxiety is not any worse or any better than before I started it. I've taken other SSRI's before with success for depression, but have never taken something to help with anxiety, because this is the first time I've ever experienced it. And what's really annoying is that I'm not even anxious or depressed about anything. It's just there!!!

I've been reading such awful things online about people's experience with Zoloft that I am beginning to wonder why it's even prescribed. I have been reading a lot of wonderful things about Lexapro though, especially for anxiety...Now I'm wondering if I should switch. I guess I'm looking for any kind of feedback about the experiences of being on Zoloft, especially in the beginning. How long should I wait before I ask my doctor to switch me? I have a 2 year old, and a life, and I'm tired of putting everything on hold for this. I want my life back. Your input is welcomed!!! Oh, and I started with 25mg the first week, 50mg the next, and am now up to 100mg the third. Next Saturday will be four weeks since I first started, and I take it in the morning.
