you're correct that it does take some time for these types of medications to reach their full effectiveness. i'm sorry you're feeling side effects after switching from one medication to another. i want to make sure you know it's not abnormal to experience mild side effects while in the process of switching medications but if you start having feelings of severe depression suicide or hurting yourself or others you need to take immediate action by calling your health care provider or dialing 911. if the side effects you're experiencing are relatively mild and you don't feel you're in a mental health crisis situation you should still call your health care provider to discuss the side effects you're experiencing. your doctor can advise you about what to do to help alleviate these symptoms or at least let you know if what you're feeling is normal for the situation. it may not take a full 6 weeks for you to begin experiencing the full effects of the zoloft. each person is different in this respect. i'm hoping things will smooth out for you soon. i'm sorry you're going through this. get ahold of your health care provider and hang in there! ask your doctor about cymbalta. it is now in a generic form and is very affordable. i tried everything (no joke) when i was first diagnosed with depression / anxiety and cymbalta is what works best for me.
