I have just started taking zoloft a few weeks back and on 50mg a day. I have had dry mouth and nasty taste, headaches and fatigue  too. It'll subside eventually. My old antidepressant took a month to start to kick in

I have had to serious reactions to depression and bipolar meds by causing a serotonin syndrome with me so be careful.

Hi. 

It took about 5-6 weeks for it to take full effect, but it does it gradually from I would say week 2-3 weeks to then Anxiety wise.

But It took took me a lot longer for the side effects to go, 

im only on a low dose because I'm very sensitive to taking medication.

The side effects I'm still getting is thinning head hair and itchy armpits.

But anxiety is under control, my gp said I should be on them for 6-12 months

but I don't want to go back to feeling how I was. 

Will cross that bridge when I come to it.

hope things settle down for you soon, side effects will go away and hopefully you can enjoy life again
