I can only say this was one of the drugs that my son was on when he had a disappointment in his life and he tried suicide. These depression drugs are not for everyone.
He has since has some very good results using the protocol that Dr. Priscilla Slagle sets out in her book 'The Way Up From Down'. Go to her site www.thewayup.com and on the home page you will see a link for either buying the book from Amazon or downloading it for free. The price at Amazon isn't all that bad, and if you can possibly afford it well worth the money. The book to download and print out is time consuming and costly in ink and paper. If you don't mind reading the book on the computer you get wonderful information for free.
If you are depressed do yourself a favor and get this book, and then follow the protocol. Beg or borrow the money if you feel like you cannot afford the supplements. Priscilla has been at this for a long time and knows what products are the best to treat depression so buy the products from her, but if that isn't possible . . . do your best to find what you need.
My son saw results, and I mean great results within two weeks using Dr. Slagle's protocol. Please do yourself a favor and try this route instead of the drug route. I could go on and on about the problems with Zoloft, Celexa and the rest.
As to ticking off the cons with the drug Zoloft they didn't add suicide . . . so I did.
