"i&#039;m 16 years old and i started taking zoloft for depression about a year ago. i started off at 25mg then 50mg and things still didn&#039;t seem to be &quot;right.&quot; i was constantly sick and throwing up, and i just felt like it wasn&#039;t working. so they bumped me up to 75mg of zoloft, and then to 100mg. for my body and age, 100mg was a lot for me to take but it finally made me feel better. i wasn&#039;t as down, but i had awful side affects. i couldn&#039;t sleep, eat, or do anything but lay in bed and i had awful migraines. i was so sick of changing meds but i couldn&#039;t deal with being this sick so on top of the zoloft i was prescribed elavil. it was like night and day. helped me sleep and took all my side effects away!"
