"i was crippled with anxiety, depression, and nagging intrusive thoughts. zoloft has allowed me to live again. please don&#039;t allow the stigma and misinformation out there about antidepressants prevent you from getting help and finding relief. once your body adjusts to zoloft (this can take upwards of 2-4 weeks), you will find relief and peace. i used a pill cutter to cut the prescribed dose (25 mg) in half and took the half dose for two weeks. then i increased it to the prescribed dose. this is much easier on the body. please consider doing this so you&#039;re not overcome and discouraged by some of the initial side effects. good luck friends."
