About a year ago my doctor put me on Zoloft for depression and anxiety. I only gave it a chance for about 3 weeks though. In the first week I thought I felt pretty good and things were fairly smooth sailing, aside from feeling a little loopy. Once I got into the second week though, I started feeling a lot more dizzy and like my head was in a constant fog. I started feeling a lot more depressed than I was before being on the drug and I was sleeping all the time. There was even a day where I had slept right through my alarm clock AND phone calls from work. I'd missed an entire shift of work because of it, which is when I decided I didn't want to take Zoloft anymore because I didn't want a drug to affect my life so negatively. When I was talking to a coworker about it after the fact she had told me that she noticed that I seemed really off recently, that I was talking slower and didn't seem myself at all. I didn't have a very good experience with this drug at all.
