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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
