Dear Kallie,
I am on 100mg of zoloft a day and find I am immensely better for taking it.
Although I am not trying to conceive at present, my doctor assures me it is
safe in pregnancy, especially since if I don't have it I am terribly
depressed, which would place stress on a babe in the womb.
Love Emma
