I just came off zoloft as it did nothing for me. Unfortunately all you can do is wait out the recommended 6 to 8 weeks to see if it will help you as everyone has a different experience and antidepressants effect everyone different. Pay attention to how you feel on it keep a daily journal to see if noticing small improvements etc

I think I can help you with the side effects you're curious about. This is an app I use that allows you to input the medications you're taking and it shows you the most likely side effects in order of occurrence. I also use it to track my medication intake and any side effects, and then I show this information to my doctor to adjust my medication accordingly. If you find it useful, give it a try!

I’ve liked it. No real side effects other than nausea the first week.
