My experience with Zoloft after years of feeling completely stuck
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to share something that’s been a big deal for me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been dealing with really bad depression. I was crying almost every day, feeling hopeless and down, and had a lot of dark thoughts. It felt like I was just going through the motions, super lonely even when I wasn’t alone. It went on for years.
A month or so ago I finally got the courage to talk to my primary care doctor about it, and then saw a psychiatrist. They started me on 50mg of Zoloft and gave me busparone to take as needed. I only ended up using the busparone for the first few days because my anxiety went up while my body was adjusting, but after that I didn’t need it.
It’s been over a month now and I honestly can’t believe the difference. I haven’t cried once since starting. The constant depression and that heavy hopeless feeling has dropped so much. I’m not saying I’m completely fixed or anything, I still have bad days, but the worst of it has stopped. No more crying daily or those dark thoughts popping up all the time.
I know meds affect everyone differently, but for me Zoloft has been a game changer so far. If you’re struggling and thinking about talking to someone, I really hope you do. It was scary to open up but I’m so glad I did. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
