"i&#039;ve always experienced social anxiety growing up. i thought this was normal but it became clear to me during college that i shouldn&#039;t be feeling so shy all the time. i was afraid to be myself. i was constantly going back and forth between anxiety and depression for years. i tried meditation, yoga, running, a different diet... but nothing seemed to be working good enough! enough was enough! i researched zoloft for a few weeks and finally decided to try it out. woah! other than the initial side effects such as decreased appetite and restlessness, this medication changed my life!!! i feel very comfortable talking to people in social settings.. i could finally be myself! the biggest thing is being patient--- it works!!!!! good luck everyone!"
