Does Zoloft antidepressant actually work and does it have any bad side effects?!
Question:
Answers:
Zoloft may take up to two weeks before it has any effect. A full trial can take between 6 and 8 weeks. Studies have shown that the risk of suicidal behavior in teenagers taking Zoloft is higher in the first few weeks of therapy. Other common side effects include sexual dysfuction, aggitation, weight changes, and sleep disterpences. Most side effects resolve themselves after weeks of treatment.

it made my heart race til i was paranoid
It didn't do ANYTHING for me, but put me to sleep. It's potency is so incredibly low, I'm surprised there's any results claimed at all. I've been on Effexor XR for almost 3 years and it's much more effective than Zoloft/Paxil/Prozac.

Personal Experience
I took it years ago and it didn't agree with me at all. Initially I had insomnia, the shakes and it made my stomach feel raw. This lasted two weeks after which I had no trouble for around 3 months. After that I had the same side effects as I did in the beginning as well as being unable to keep any food down.
