"my fiance and i broke up, which made me depressed. 3 weeks later, my mother passed away. i couldn&#039;t stop crying. a hospital was testing anti-depressants on me. we decided that zoloft worked best on me. it made it easier to cope &amp; i finally stopped crying. eventually i was able to get back to my normal life. i took it for about 2 months.if it makes you tired, take it before bed, which i did. i believe it saved my life."
