Brief Answer:
For how long have you been taking Zoloft.
Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this depression. Though Zoloft is a good drug for depression, it can take several week before it starts working fully with remarkable benefits. I will like to know for how long you have been using this see if the window period for full blown action has been reached or not. If it has been reached, then I will recommend that we try other medications that are equally proven to be effective for depression that may be more helpful in your case.
I hope to hear back from you and promise to respond promptly. Until then, I wish you well.
