Hi there, I tried to send you a message, but it said I had to have ten posts, which I don't. So here is what I wanted to send you

Hi Em!

I am new here, and just going through all the messages I can find in regards to Zoloft. I see that you have been a sufferer of anxiety for as long as me. I'm 39, and have had it since I was 17. I've never been on any medication at all. I was prescribed Zoloft in 1994, but only took it one time because I was too scared. I don't remember what it felt like as it was so long ago. I have managed to sort of keep my anxiety under control, but still had the GAD. I see you just started Zoloft and your first medication ever. I was given Zoloft again two days ago, but haven't taken one. I'm too scared. Like everyone else with anxiety, I'm so worried about the side effects. I know you said the first day you were sleepy. But did you have any other side effects. And how has it been lately since you started over a month ago? Do you feel better?

Thanks so much!

Melanie
