"i have been on zoloft for years now and love it this medicine saved my life before i started taking zoloft i was a mess!!! depressed and angry all the time i finally after several years decided i&#039;d had enough i told my therapist i wanted an antidepressant i was going to call the doctor myself but she called the doctor. honestly i remember a girl i met when i was in college who told me i needed help and to go home for the weekend however, i was reluctant to get help only because my parents felt that at the time antidepressants weren&#039;t that safe. i must say she was right i feel so much better not a lot of side effects sometimes i get diarrhea from it but mostly it works"
