Zoloft questions

[JaclynDT]

Hey guys... I have been on zoloft for roughly two weeks... I am just now starting to notice that I am more calm and relaxed which is great for me b/c I am usually pretty high-strung and always anxious... [and my fiance even notices a difference]... my only concern is that I am also starting to feel like a "robot" and I feel very quiet... which is unlike me. Has anyone noticed these effects? Should I keep my hopes up that this will eventually fade?
Any suggestions is much appreciated!
Thanks!

Namaste,

Zoloft is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Zoloft affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Zoloft is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Initially, it tends to make us feel like robots, like were in a fog, running on auto-pilot, but after the medication reaches it full effect within your system, you should see these side effects fading, although they may not disappear completely. It's better, however, than suffering on a daily basis.

I think that should subside very soon. I have been on Zoloft for almost a month and I had that feeling in the very beginning. Do you take yours at night or in the morning?
