Hi,
I have been taking Zoloft for about a 9 days- I am having trouble with side effects- mainly diahrrea. Is that normal for that long? I see the doc in 1 week. I don't notice much of a difference regharding anxiety levels. Is it too soon?
Thanks

As Jan mentioned antidepressants do take a while to kick in, about 4 - 6 weeks, and it might even been longer for zoloft because of it's chemical composition.
as for the side effects, I suggest you call your doctor's office and talk to a nurse. It can be completely anonymous, just tell them what you're taking and what your concerns are and they'll tell you what to do. I've done it a million times and talking to a nurse always makes me feel better.
Also keep in mind that diarreah can be attributed to anxiety.
