Hi Katia. Zoloft was the first psychotropic med I took when my depression led me to feeling suicidal six years ago. It was a wonder drug for me. I started out with 50mg, and then every two weeks increased until I was at 100mg every day. I pretty much stayed on this for several years. It took a few weeks to kick in. But, when it did it saved my life.
My side effects came with each dosage increase, but then eventually went completely away. If Zoloft is right for you then sticking with it through the side effects until they minimize or disappear would be my advice. On the other hand, if the side effects are intolerable you would need to make that call.
Best of luck in finding the right med. You will, just hang in there.
