hey im also taking zoloft (got started on 50mg about a week ago) its giving me some insomnia but i took it about 2 years ago and the insomnia went away after the first week or two (it was/is rought though!) so im keeping me fingers crossed (the doc gave me some sleeping pills which stirs up a whole new ballgame of concerns for me).. it did seem to help with my anxiety/ depression etc though after it kicks in a month or so later.. it wasnt a 100% improvement but any better is good to me.. good luck to the both of us :)

i don't think so, was too deep in depression to even fuction - i was seeing my pdoc every week, sometimes more.  I was in hospital for 5-6 times.  my husband had died and went crazy.  its been 11 yrs now.  i can go out and face the world.  don't know if i will ever be out of depression, i guess i had been using alcohol to selfmedicate for 30 yrs.  off drinking for 7 yrs.  hope this helps
