If you're concerned about the medication, it's a good idea to discuss it with your doctor. If your doctor's not able to explain things well enough for you to feel comfortable with, you may want to seek a second opinion.

Hi Lou,

This is one of the few antidepressants I have not taken, although my son was helped by it. (For the Americans, this is sold as Zoloft in the U.S.)

Only thing is I've heard it's a hard one to wean from... must be a short half life. Just make sure to take it the same time every day. Hope it works out for you!

My doc has asked me to take PROZAC which is the most studied anti-depressants in recent times. I have'nt yet taken it though.

I'm a long time user of Effexor for my anxiety/depression. I've had great success on it, unless I forget to take it. Like most of you, I hate having to take anything that messes with my brain, but my doctor feels it's necessary and I sure feel a whole lot more human on it!
