I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 5 years ago. Alot of the people on the support lists take antidepressants but haven't heard that Zoloft in particular helps, this is good news.:o) Another thing you all out there with Fibro and depression might look into is having your amalgams (silver fillings) replaced with composite(white) ones. There is a ton of info and seems a real connection with mercury poisoning and Fibro, Chronic Fatigue and Autism. Food for thought...

He began to think that my problem might not be just depression when I said that I had constant aching in my back, shoulders, and knees. I asked about Zoloft on the advice of a friend. Doc said it's almost the same as Prozac, only with fewer side effects. Ask your dr. Let me knowthe opinion. My e-mail address is tinlizzieb@go.com
