Good advice from FBR; I've heard Zoloft referred to as a 'primitive' and 'crude' member of the SSRI family actually, haha!
Celexa is another and I found that it was FAR preferable for my own condition (primarily anxiety rather than primarily depression) but the dosage at which I responded was considered sub-clinical by my shrink and she wouldn't hear of me staying at it. That's kinda when I threw up my hands in disgust and started experimenting with cannabis strains known to be effective against anxiety specifically.
My advice is to find a knowledgeable shrink who you feel comfortable working with because sadly it CAN BE somewhat trial-and-error.

I have been smoking for about 3 years, at first it was fun every now and again, but slowly became an everyday affair because it helped me with anxiety and depression. Zolofts are the devil!
