Someone I know has a large supply of Zoloft. They only take half the dose they are prescribed but have kept the same prescription for years, so they have a lot.

I'm wondering if I should try it. I've been depressed since having surgery, at first I thought it was seasonal affective disorder but now I'm not so sure because the mood therapy lamp I've been using for a month isn't helping. It's to the point where I want to try medication.

I've been to psychiatrists before and I know it's just trial and error to find the right medication. I don't see why I need to see a psychiatrist when I can just try a low dose of this Zoloft I have a huge supply of. I'll go to a psychiatrist if it doesn't work.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.
