Anxiety, Zoloft (sertraline): Zoloft (sertraline) is a medication for depression and anxiety. The effect of medication lasts for 24 hours. It is ok if you are 2-3 hours late from scheduled time. Take it after meals to reduce side effects. See Psychiatrist for benefits and side effects, monitoring; Therapy for stresses in life.

Take it,anyway: Very likely that you will feel nothing at all.Following a routine helps one remember more reliably,so get back to your routine,after you've made sure of no missed dose.
