I've been taking it for a few months.
I'm mildly bipolar plus have massive anxiety problems. Zoloft seems to have taken me down a notch- I'm not so tightly wound which has REALLY helped with my patience levels(I have 4 children, so that's a huge deal) and my sensory overload issues.
It doens't seem to have done much for the anxiety- I still have panic attacks when I drive, I still have major social anxiety, but it's worth it for the mellowing effect it's had on me. I also sleep well now. I always had major problems sleeping, insomnia, etc.
It took me about 3 weeks to adjust to it. The first week was pretty bad- it knocked me out, made me feel loopy, spacey, etc. I hung in there and it got a lot better. IT took about a full 6 weeks until I stopped being sleepy an hour after I took my pill though. Now I can stay up late and play WoW with hubby on the weekends- when I was adjusting to the meds, I'd fall asleep at the computer. LOL!
