I started taking 50 mg of Zoloft today. I would love to hear people's experiences with it, good and bad.

I did not do so well on Zoloft. Had VERY loose stools every morning and one day I forgot how to make toast. (Buttered the bread before toasting instead of after and it took me several moments to figure it out..duh!)
I switched to Lexapro and this seems to be working better for me, so far. Every one is different. My doc told me to start with half dose for first 6 days and then bump up to full dose after that. Good luck!

I was on Zoloft about 7 years ago for depression, I was up to 150 mg. After 2 years I decided to go off it.
I was then put back on it about 2 years ago, this time it did nothing to me, infact it made me more irritable, 6 months after that I was diagnosed with Bipolar. I am on different meds now, I am still not right but I am getting there.
Good Luck.

Zoloft is a good medication..keep in mind it can take awhile for you to feel it's full effects.

I have been taking it since I was 8 and I have never been better. I do not freak out as much as I used to and I don't get attacks anymore. Unfortunatley my mouth tastes really bad after taking it.

I had a friend in high school that took it, and she said it made her depression and other symptoms worse. I've also heard other people talk badly about it, but everyone is different, so I hope everything works out for you whatever you decide.

Made someone I know very anxious, said she couldn't sleep at night, so she stopped taking it.
