Hi. I just found this site and I'm glad I found it. I've been on Zoloft for many years now but it just take the edge off and I am now starting menopause and my life is starting to go out of control. I feel lost, scared and hopeless. Other drugs have not worked at all. I don't know if I should try yet another or just hope that talking to someone here can give me other ideas as to what to do. Thanks to anyone who replies

My guess (and I am NOT a doctor) is that your hormone levels are playing havoc with your "chemistry". You need to discuss this with your doctor as soon as possible. Your dosage may need to be changed. Are you seeing a psychologist? Sometimes they can offer coping mechanisms as well.
I was on zoloft, then paxil, and now wellbutrin and celexa plus an anti-anxiety medication. With me, each medication worked for a while and then I needed to be switched to something else. I have talked to enough others to know that this is not uncommon. You really need to talk to someone with medical knowledge.
good luck!
