Benefits
It did take some time to kick in at first but since then it has worked really well in getting my panic attacks and anxiety issues under control. I have become less obsessive and less fussy. My sleep has improved and my phobias are a bit distant from me now.
Side Effects
Sometimes I feel numb instead of being normal. I don’t panic but I don’t get excited (in a good sense) either. I feel indifferent to most situations where a normal person would show some reaction. Rest is the same with any antidepressant; I have lost interest in sex and have gained a little weight. Zoloft works but as an aid, it’s not a cure.
