I have had problems staying on task recently. Is this related to my depression symptoms or something else?


I have been taking 100 mg of Zoloft a day for almost 18 months, but have notice for the last few months I tend to get sidetracked easily (i.e. I will wander away from watching my favorite show and miss the end or start a project and get bored with it). Is this another symptom of depression?

That happened to me and they said it was because i was getting to used to the meds so they changed my meds.
It'th pothible.
Yes. And that's a pretty high dose; you shouldn't still be depressed. Talk to your psychiatrist.
EDIT
I assumed that she has a psychiatrist considering the fact she's taking anti-depressants at all. That thumbs down isn't mine, by the way.
Most likely. Talk to your doctor. It could possibly be a side effect of the Zoloft. I tried taking it once, but felt more depressed after about a month, so I quit taking it.
Yep

Hey, Amy, that's great advice- like everyone has a psychiatrist, and we were waiting for you to say "hey, talk to your on call psychiatrist. Get your chauffer to drive you down."
I'm a psychologist.
Yes, this is very possible. Symptoms of depression include: Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" mood
Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed, including sex
Decreased energy, fatigue, being "slowed down"
Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions
Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain
Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts
Restlessness, irritability
Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain

Please be aware that there are many causes/effects/symptoms of depression. How deep is your depression? Do you have Manic depression? It is possible that you are SEVERELY depressed and you should tell your doctor about the changes in your physical self, emotional self and perhaps they need to change the dose of your medication or switch it if you're possibly immune to the Zoloft. Good luck and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
