    Katyf, yes people do get better but you need to discuss this with your doctor. You might need something for depression. Please go see your doctor and let him or her know how you are feeling. He should be able to either adjust your medication or prescribe something else. Dont give up. There is life after divorce . Do this for you. 😎

    K, 

    Been there done that. Pull yourself together. This is your life now, go get it. 

    No one did it for me and you are going to have to do it for yourself. I’m on Zoloft 50 ml, I started on 25 for a month to start. After 10 days at 50ml, I’m more centered and happier. IT GETS BETTER!
