Hi,
The first time I ever took Zooloft in the past, they worked, I initially experienced a few Suicidal thoughts but no strong impulses and every now and again I felt a real glimmer of light, I just knew they were working (that was in the first week), infact because they worked so well whenever I heard of other people's horror stories on them, I'm ashamed to say I put it down to exaggeration and them not giving them a long enough try.
This time round though I've seen the downside to the SSRIs (including Zooloft) and I've had an absolutely horrendous time with them. Are you feeling agitated on them?
I felt really agitated during the day, felt like I was completely freaking out inside and then come night time I felt incredibly weak like I'd been through a major battle. The only thing that gave me any relief from those awful feelings was 10mg Zyprexa. When I really felt I couldn't go on and I was at my wits end, I'd take one Zyprexa and the next day it was as though I'd been lifted back up on my feet and recharged.
I don't know how bad the Zooloft is making you feel but if it intolerable I'd definately give Zyprexa consideration.
