"i was taking 50mg of zoloft a day for two months and it made me even more irritable and down. i didn&#039;t want to do anything. when i did force myself to go out and socialize i&#039;d snap at people. nothing was fun. nothing seemed to be worth doing. i&#039;ve tried both lexapro and zoloft. neither have made me feel any better. i got worse on both. i don&#039;t always want to feel depressed, but at least off of medication i have the ability to hide my feelings from people, not to place other people under the weight of my moods, but on those two medications i didn&#039;t even feel like i had the power to fake it. zoloft also gave me migraines, ones that would last for a week straight. glad it works for some people though."
