Hey Bec, Sorry to hear your regular doc was unavailable. It's really tough seeing someone new, and some Doctors' (although I think they mean well, they just don't have a clue!) I was in the ER a few weeks ago with a SEVERE PA and the first thing the Doctor did was bring in a family counselor and put me in a half-way house!(???????) But anyways, I was on Zoloft for a while, and for me personally, it just didn't work out very well, mostly just too many side effects. But I know several people on Zoloft, and it works very well for them. My niece has been on it for several years, and has had excellent results! So you may want to try it, at least until you can get in touch with your regular doctor. Good Luck, HTH!!
