"i&#039;ve been on zoloft for 3 months now. initially, i suffered from side effects such as shivering, loss of appetite, drowsiness, and insomnia. these symptoms lasted for about three days. i was scared at first and planned on trying another medication for anxiety. however, i called my cousin who is a nurse and she told me to try cutting the pill in half. i took my cousins advice and cut the pill in half, taking only 25mg a day which works really well for me.i&#039;m 5&#039;4, 130lbs. i no longer suffer from anxiety, after taking zoloft that i realized that i was suffering from depression. zoloft alleviates my anxiety and has greatly helped with my depression, i now feel more happy and motivated to do things right away without procrastinating. life changer!"
