In reply to Is stopping Zoloft after just two weeks stupid?, posted by Preston on July 22, 2002, at 0:04:50
Hi Preston,
I can't really answer the question about zoloft, but I want to respond to this part of what you said...>
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,
No, it's not a self-discipline problem. Nobody wants to feel unmotivated and foggy. If you have to force yourself to function, something is wrong.I used to believe similarly before I found the right meds for my depression. I thought everyone felt as awful as I did inside, and they were just better at forcing themselves to function, and were faking their more cheerful outlooks. Once I got symptom relief I realized that was not the case. It's just soooo much easier to function without chronic depression.
Please persist in getting treatment (whether it's zoloft or something else) just to see what life is like without the burden of depression. If you don't like it, you can always go back.
