Zoloft is one of the most well tolerated SSRI’s out there. If you truly suffer from depression add Wellbutrin and it should help.
You don’t just snap your fingers and your anxiety and your depression goes away. It is like being an alcoholic. If you are an alcoholic you are an alcoholic the rest of your life. You just make a conscious decision not to drink every morning when you get out of bed.
If people on this site would just realize that and stop trying to get off your medications life would be so much simpler. Heaven forbid you might even find Clonazepam helps if you can take it and not abuse it.
Years ago they had no medications to treat depression and anxiety. Just be glad they do and enjoy your life.
I wish you all the best.

Dave: Just to clarify, a lot of this thread is about attempting to get on these medications. Unfortunately, it is not that straightforward. Some individuals with mixed states (agitation, anxious depression) can actually do worse on SSRI medications. Then, there are the situations where someone has used an SSRI long term and a crises comes along where the body and brain register trauma, and the SSRI medications are no longer effective. Zoloft is generally well tolerated. But some of the dynamics mentioned above can prove to be problematic.
