zoloft for bulimia and depression

Hello,

I just recently got prescribed zoloft and have been taking it for a couple of weeks now, it appeared to be having a positive effect on me in the first week, but it seems to have worn off to the point that I don't even notice it.

What has been other peoples' experiences on zoloft for the treatment of major depression and bulima?

I am on this med too, and it certainly takes more time than two weeks to show a difference. It takes up to a month for the drug to get into the system.

It's made a world of difference for me, and I'm on a very low dose so I don't have side effects. (funny how only the dogs have responded)

I agree - allow 3-4 weeks for any kind of help. The first week sometimes can just be your inner self thinking more positively because you went and got help. Stay with it - you can do it!
