Hey Allison, My mom and my niece are both on Zoloft and suffer from almost no side effects. I personnally could not take it, as it had too many side effects for me. Believe me, I know how scarey it is to try a new medicine, but I would suggest trying it for a few days, and see how things go. You'll never know if you don't try. I have my fingers crossed that it will work OK for you. Just let us (and your Doctor!) know how you are doing! Hope this helps, Good Luck.
