Any best practices to help with the side effects or to take my mind off of having side effects?? 

Please send positive messages/idea's.....any insight or idea's would be appreciated.

Thank you,

I absolutely loved zoloft...it made me feel human again.  At first I had a little start up anxiety..but nothing I wasnt already used to. Within about 2 weeks I felt a difference.   I had to go off of it due to diarrhea that wouldnt go away. It is a start up side effect but for me it just never stopped. But I did like it a lot and I was very upset that I had to go off of it.  Did your dr give you a benzo for the first few weeks?  I really like lorazapam.

Thank you Mel......Yes, he gave me Lorazapam as well, a low dosage of .5mg, but I hate to take to much of it.  Have been taking one .5 mg pill at night to help with sleep.  I might try going to 2 a day until I get over the the onset stages.

Thank you again,
Brian
