I started Zoloft 25 mg on November 28. I am on week 4 and it still hasn't reached steady state yet. I am concerned because usually medications reach steady state by week 4. I am also getting severe side effects that haven't gone away yet-intense dizziness and headaches, severe fatigue, loss of appetite and nausea. Will the medicine ever reach steady state and will these side effects ever go away? What if these side effects never go away? What does that mean? Is it possible for a medicine to never reach steady state or never help my depression?

okay so I am 20 years old.. I have a little bit of freckles on my face.. wavy hair.. and ofcourse braces..! my teeth stick out and they were overcrowded and since my parents never had money i decided to fix my problem, but i seriously hate them., my self esteem went down alot when i got them.. i've only had them for four months but i feel so bad with them, because I am in college.. i have to have them until i am 22 years old.. my self esteem has gone down alot because i see beautiful people with no braces at all and they are perfect.. i feel i dont come anywhere near that right now =(

I have panic attacks pretty regularly and I get heart/chest pains on and off for maybe a few seconds at the most but for the past 10 to 15 min. I've had a dull ache in my heart area and in my shoulder. Should I be worried or is it just part of a panic attack?

I am overweight, and I need tips that are effective and healthy to help me loose weight. I don't want links to other sites, and I know I can go to a doctor, but I want people's opinions. Thanks!

I also got married last year and turned 40 this year...whew!!! I've gained 20+ lbs since I quite smoking and am miserable and VERY unhappy about it. I've always been 125ish and I am now at 155 and growing (5'3). I go to the gym a few times a week doing cardio and the circuit. I plan to kick it up a level after the new year....... but will taking away my daily beer intake (I LOVE an ICE COLD BEER!!!) help me lose this weight? I'm freakin' miserable!!! I'm not a big eater but don't eat real healthy (no sweets really, just love bar food type) I feel like I have NO metabolism left whatsoever... I'm also in a hard place with my career, I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up so I'm not happy there either....but other than that my life is AWESOME!!!!!!! Someone help me please :0)

I've never had to watch what I eat before so I'm having a hard time with the adjustment.....just need some good advise and encouragement.

Whenever I work-out the only places on my legs that burn are my calves, and sometimes the front of my upper legs. I really need to get muscle and burn fat everywhere on my thighs. I am thin but not in shape, and my thighs have major lack of muscles. Currently I started jump roping everyday for 30 minutes, and i have a step n flex(stair-stepper) by sharper image that i use for 10 minutes. I need some workout ideas that I will be able to stick to and do inside my home. For example, when i jumprope i alternate between 2 minutes of slow and 1 minute of fast jumping so i do not get tired and give up. This way i stick to it.

I also have been wearing braces for the last three years which I think could be exacerbating the problem. I also like to wear lipgloss but I've thrown out a lot of them, just in case they're affecting my lips. Could someone please tell me how to alleviate my problem?!!
