-- Be very cautious about Xanax. It is a very addictive drug. Zoloft is an anti-depressant, which works very well and is not addictive (some SSRI type drugs are used to treat addiction). It can take one to three weeks to see effects from an anti- depressant, so a week is not enough time. The initial fatigue is transient and should go away. The primary effect on sex is retardation of ejaculation in males - that's a good thing for some men :-). and orgasm difficulty in women. If you are really depressed and need the Zoloft, these side effects are worth the benefit you get when the Zoloft does it's work and elevates the mood.
