"i took zoloft for a year and a half when i was younger. it lifted a very dark cloud and got me through a bad situation until the year was over and i could change situations. it put an extra 10 pounds on me even though i was extremely athletic. more recently i tried going on it again ten years later and it didn&#039;t work. i&#039;ve heard that happening with this medicine before, it works once but may not work if you go on it a second time. so i credit it with helping me once but not something i could return to."
