Does it get better?

I started Zoloft almost two weeks ago for my depression and anxiety. I feel horrible. I feel horribly depressed and just can't stop crying. I keep having meltdowns. Does it get better?

what are you depressed about? it may be helpful to write about that. sometimes just communicating the depressing thoughts can help relieve their power. i encourage you to post again and talk about what's behind the tears and terrible feelings.

Yes, it does get better,

medication is not what society makes it out to be.

There is not magic 'Happy Pill'.

The above people are all correct it takes time and patience. Also it takes coping skills. Have you asked your doc about them?

Journaling, Art, music, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, meditation, exercise, plain walking.

You can review out resource thread at the top of the forum. Has 4-5 pages of good information including links and books.
