"took zoloft for depression and anxiety and was on it for about six months. it absolutely helped and i felt less anxious almost immediately. but i stopped taking it due to increasing negative side effects. i have learned through my journey that other people&#039;s experiences of these kinds of meds are no real indication of how it will be for you personally. but sometimes it helps to share. just take everything with a grain of salt. 
zoloft negatives: constant yawning, first three days you feel so unwell you think you&#039;ll never be ok again.  also, inability to have an orgasm, which lasted about three months and then i was fine. serious vertigo that got so bad i had to stop taking it. 
tried venlafaxine and prozac with better results."
