<polite snippage>Hello:
If you aren't getting much, or any, relief from Zoloft, don't be afraid to ask for a different antidepressant. Some people swear by Zoloft...others have a really tough time with it, and I was one of those.
If Zoloft is healping a bit, you can always ask to try augmenting with another med, and one from a different class (like a tricyclic) may make a big difference.
I found Zoloft a bit helpful at first taking it, but I became a 'social wreck' after being on it for a few months. I was always fatigued, with very bad nerves...very nervous. I felt much like you did in a crowd of people.
Make sure you tell your prescribing doctor all about your feelings/and/or med issues.
Best wishes....
Jay
