"before i started taking zoloft for depression and anxiety i was also suffering from insomnia. was taking ambien and valium to help but the ambien was not really helping my insomnia. maybe get 3 hrs of sleep or 5hrs on a good night. suffered from panic and anxiety attacks. went to therapy and after some time dr recommended zoloft. was hesitant at first but could not live like this anymore so i started taking it about a year ago. zoloft is the best thing i could have done. the first week or too i had side effects. but soon after depression lifted anxiety gone. i sleep great now."
