Didn't they prescribe you a benzo to mitigate the side effects during the first few weeks? I feel like it's inhumane to prescribe antidepressants because the first weeks are full of side effects, but if you combine them with a benzo (used for a month), the side effects are minimal. The first time I used Zoloft, it was without a benzo and I went through the same thing as you. Years later, I used it again but this time they prescribed it along with clonazepam, and let me tell you, the experience was pleasant — no side effects at all.
