Not really! However, I started taking Zoloft last night. I could tell a difference in my mind racing a little while after I took it. I felt like the meds slowed me down but I woke up this morning and it felt like my arms were on fire again and my heart was going to beat out of my chest. Is this normal? Is this part of the effects of the medicine when you first start taking it? Just wondering how long this will last...Also, do you take it in the morning or at night? I took it last night but it kinda made me hyper for awhile. Therefore, I took it this morning to see how it will make me feel during the day.

I took zoloft and it did nothing for me. I took it three times a day, and it only made me feel worse. I hope this helps. :)

I was taking one hundered miligrams a day, and it still didn't make me feel better. I want to try prozac, does that work?

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...
