People have found both these medictions helpful, but again, this can vary -some find one more effecctive than the other--and as you already see with the Zoloft, some find one or both ineffective.

>I have never tried Effexor but I was on Zoloft for a while and the whole time I felt very detatched from everything in my life. I had a situation that occurred that caused me to have situational depression, but once I worked through the issue with my doc I fel that Zoloft was not doing anything for me except making me not motivated to do anything. I took myself off Zoloft (wrong thing to do)
I hope Effexor works for you. I have heard good things about it.
