Hello anybody, I have been taking Zoloft 50mg for a little over two weeks now and it HAS gotten rid of my depression on one level. I don't get upset about things as easily or for as long. However, this is just because it seems to be deadening all of my feelings exept maybe humor. I decided to start taking Zoloft because of depression which I thought was causing me to be unmotivated. I figured if I was not depressed anymore, then I would immediately become more motivated and feel like doing things that I feel like I should enjoy doing or at least be able to concentrate on them. However, instead I just don't feel like doing anything and have just as hard of a time concentrating as I did before I took Zoloft. Now I know it has only been two weeks and maybe I am just being impatient, but it has gotten rid of my depression already and I am afraid that it has already produced it's full effect. I thought that my lack of motivation and difficulty with concentration was something that might be cured with Zoloft, but so far it has made both of those things even worse. If my lack of motivation and difficulty concentrating is completely a self-discipline problem that I can only overcome by constantly kicking myself in the ass, then maybe I should stop taking the Zoloft now to avoid becoming dependant on it. However, if anyone has had the same problem and overcame it with the help of Zoloft or something else, please let me know about it. Also, if anyone just thinks I'm being stupid and impatient, tell me.
