Just starting my 14 year old on Zoloft. Has anyone had a child on it? How has their experience been? Concerned mom who just wants what's best. Thanks
Anyone have a young teen on Zoloft?

My niece is 16 and started antidepressants last year. They had to try a few different medications before finding the right one and dose but she is doing much better now ( She is on 5mg lexapro which I think is equivalent to about 25mg Zoloft)
Just work alongside your doctor and monitor for any symptoms. I find reading the review site here quite helpful to hear how other people have found the medication.
All the best.
