"i&#039;m a 17 year old female. i&#039;m in my first semester of college. i&#039;ve had depression since about 13/14 and i&#039;ve always had anxiety. unfortunately, my anxiety became intolerable once i started college. i&#039;ve been on zoloft for a week and a half. the first week i took 25 mg, now i&#039;m up to 50 mg. i&#039;ve only had one panic attack since starting. i feel way more relaxed. as for the depression, i used to sit around all day just thinking about how much i hate life. i haven&#039;t been doing this anymore since i started on zoloft. i&#039;m hoping zoloft will do even more for me after a few more weeks. i&#039;m finally looking forward to the future with hope."
