Juanita, Oh---I've had some days like that. I take Zoloft too---so I can relate. If I forget to take the medication for one day, I pay for it a few days later. After my daughter died, I felt that I was entitled to be depressed, but after a couple of years I couldn't shake the depression. Finally I gave in and started Zoloft. I've been on Zoloft for 14 years and couldn't function without it. I'm glad you were able to get back on your pills.
Best to you,
