Thank goodness I came across this thread-discussion about Zoloft. I was recently started at low dose, 12.5 mg which seemed ok for about 1-2 weeks until the Dr had me go up to 25mg, which I did not do. I only went up a half of a half.....I believe in slowwwww progression. That increase by 6 mg made me crazy...all I wanted to do was to sleep....in fact could not sleep but just couldn't keep my eyes open. No more for me! I think it is the classification that Zoloft, prozac etc are under that is the issue...they are SSRI's (serotonin-re-uptakes) that causes the uncomfortable side-effects. So the answer might be a medication that is classified as an SSNRI or Wellbutrin which works in an entirely different way that the SSRI's and SSNRI's

I had terrible time finding an antidepressant. Migraines, severe fatigue, hunger in the extreme.

so SSRIs were out.
Tried a few SNRIs were the ticket. Still had to find the one. Venlafaxene (Effexor) was great for me. On over max dose, but it's been fine for me for 18 years.

I do, take a complement of other meds, but that's just me.

If you really want to know which is "better" for you;you go to GENOMIND and have your DNA, via your mouth. (A cheek swab).

They'll bring the bill down to around ($300)
If your insurance won't pay or whatever. Just tell them you cannot afford it. They will work with you.

God bless
