Q. I have heard from my friend they have upped his Zoloft, but that was about 14 days ago, and when I saw him at day 10, I saw little change if any. He is still ambivalent about me, and is not sleeping, and has difficulty focusing. HE thinks he is doing BETTER! I've tried to convince him that his symptoms don't indicate that he is OK.
I have told him that I don't want to end our relationship, and I will be here when the meds kick in. (I am praying that they start soon, because I don't know how much longer I can hang around in the dark closet) The waiting, as they say, is the hardest part.
Doctor, what % of people, when they are medicated, have these relapses? Will John continue to have depressions such as these? Is there a chance he will be in remission for extended periods of time (years, decades)?
