Its great, It is the most popular SSRI (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitor. Sertraline (Zoloft) is quite a general drug and works with most Major Depression Disorders (MDD) and even Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). With its success in MDD it also can relax generalised anxiety disorder.
I too am i teenager and i was on 50mg of Sertraline and i found it was so effective and i owe every bit of respect to this amazing drug for making my life full of happiness again. Although i was on a weak dose it is still effective.
My doctor changed me to Pristiq 200mg, which I'm only a couple of weeks into and finding its quite effective but still waiting for the full results. The reason for the change was that i found after lengthy periods of time the body almost gets immune to the effects and i would feel my MDD getting worse. Even with this Zoloft has a couple of lets say mild side effects which is it ruins your sex drive, makes you more hungry and can bring on Insomnia. These side effects may not be the case for all people.
I definitely recommend to start on Zoloft and give it a good go!
