"i went to the doctor because i was having anxiety/stress issues. i was getting along with any of my co-workers, i was crying at work for no reason, and i just wasn&#039;t myself. i had never taken any prescription medicine before zoloft. my doctor said she thought i had anxiety, and maybe depression. i was prescribed 50mg zoloft to start for a few weeks. i was supposed to move up to 100mg, but the 50mg are doing just fine. i have been on zoloft for about three months now, and i do no have any side effects, nor did i when i first started. i was also prescribed xanax as needed, but i haven&#039;t even had to take any since i started the zoloft."
