It can take UP to 6 weeks to notice a difference but 3 weeks is long enough for some people. Just give it a few more weeks and then talk to your doc. I know what ou mean though, I have the same feeling and take zoloft as well. I was on cymbalta and they switched my meds when I became pregnant because it's supposed to be safer for the baby.

Three weeks is not enough time for the Zoloft to help you, it takes at least 6 weeks.  Your symtoms are a result of your depression. Try to be patient, and if you aren't feeling better in 3 weeks, call whomever prescribed this medication and tell them.  Sometimes it's trial and error as to what is going to work for you.
