Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 , I took Zoloft for 3 years before switching. But in all fairness, the last 2 years have been extremely stressful, and would probably have tested the limits of any medication. My husband of 25 years decided that he " wasn't happy " and walked out 2 years ago. Due to his own issues, the first 1 1/2 years were frightening, depressing and required me to be hypervigilent 24/7. Then last summer, my beloved mother died unexpectedly. Unlike Prozac, which (for my daughter) just plain stopped working, the Zoloft was, for me, like running on older batteries - a gradual slowing process. The Lexapro, in addition to relieving depression, also has an energizing component, which I need. Of course, medications affect everyone differently, so you may want to ask your p-doc about it.
