  1. Anyone take antidepressants?

    Angel@MyTable replied to RN1982's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I take Zoloft/sertraline, (for about 5 years) 100mg. I take my Rx at noc, and that helps to alleviate drowsiness. I couldn't live w/out it, it keeps me even!

    Angel@MyTable replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Angel@MyTable replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Angel@MyTable replied to babe48076's topic in General Students
