I talked to my doc and told her that I feel like I have Mild Depression, and Mild/Moderate Anxiety. She said well try Zoloft, and I am happy to try it BUT is this the best choice? I have heard things about "brain shivers", and Tremors resulting from zoloft. Im only on 50mg a day, and I am starting taking it tomorrow morning. Has anyone ever used Zoloft for MILD Depression? I am afraid this might be to strong or something. I am a pretty happy person, but I feel neutral to everything I see, hear, etc... I know im my head I want to do things (dreams, goals) but then I tell myself, ill do it later. I cannot get motivated to do anything about them, and I put myself down alot in my head as to why I cannot do it. I lost interest in pretty much everything, so I was hoping something like Zoloft could help me regain that interest. I only want to take it for 6 months or so to get me back on track. My doc said this is fine, but I am just wondering if this is the right drug. Sometimes I get really anxious out of nowhere and feel overwhelmed. I was on concerta for ADHD, but it made my anxiety so much worse it was killing me. Any ideas, or help from anyone who has tried zoloft for Mild symptoms similar to mine? Did it help? If not what did you use? How long did you take it?

EDIT: I also seem to be very anti-social, as in I am a little nervous to go out and talk to people. I hibernate in my house, and I was hoping Zoloft could cure that as well...

I had a bout of depression in the past with anxiety and I take Lexapro... it has helped me so much! The anxious feeling is gone...I used to feel like I was going to crawl out of my skin when I got really stressed out. The depression has never resurfaced...it's been 3 years. I was able to continue working and was able to function when I sought help, but it just seemed that 4 years of stress and junk piled up and I knew it was just getting harder to cope with everything. I don't know if Lexapro will help you... speak to your doc. I never had any side effect...they are few and rare with it. A little upset stomach until my body got used to it though.

Would Zoloft be something I should consider taking if I only have MINOR Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms? I dont want to take to much if it is not needed. I have heard that zoloft is only for really really depressed people. I am not that depressed, I just get depressed sometimes. I do get anxiety alot though. I dont know, let me know guys!

Zoloft is HELL to get off of, from what I've heard, so I'd only use it as a last option.
