    Been on 50 mg for four years. It takes upward of 2 to 3 weeks to feel any major changes. Tiredness etc are a side effect that will go away.

    I was on sertraline to made me tired as well but I had to stop taking it do to a allergic reaction. My doc said it can take up to 6 weeks to really be in your system to work well. Being tried can be a side effect of the Zoloft thats why I would take mine at night. Best of wishes hang in there it will get better.

    Hi Susan,

    i started on 50mg around 3 months ago but was quickly increased to 100mg. It will take a few weeks to fully feel the effects. Took me around 7   It's difficult I know but you must hang in there and persevere. Talking helps I found. We are all here for you. 

    Good luck
