> Will I ever feel normal?The whole point, from my perspective, is to feel normal and whole. And you will. Keep educating yourself and working with your doc UNTIL you feel either normal or (at least) content. My experience is that all the AD meds feel "funny" for the first few weeks but this gradually disappears (often along with other side effects like mild nausea, jitters, etc.) Keep in mind the comments you've heard about prozac's long half life (which was also a boon when I forgot to take it)-- you probably won't be able to evaluate the zoloft for a while (a month??). Do let your doc know about any side effects and wierd feelings in the interim. Good luck!
