I am pretty familiar with holistic medicine and there is a Naturopath institute close to me where I have recieved herbal supplements before.

> Well I'll keep you updated- thanks for everything.You might want to look into something to help you out with the fatigue, and then also the anxiety if do you end up raising the Zoloft dose.
Two herbal approaches to that would be licorice for fatigue and kava for anxiety. Neither appear to be contraindicated by SSRIs.
