Just my story, unrelated to PCS. I was prescribed Zoloft for post partum depression, about nine years ago. I was 30.
I found it really adversely affected my memory. I know that bad memory is usually blamed on depression (rightly so) but for me the Zoloft made my memory even worse. I still have total blanks of my child's first year of life.
I did not find it helped with sleep at all.
I weaned off slowly. Next bout of depression five years later, I firmly refused Zoloft.
But like every drug, each experience is different.
Hope things work out for you.

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.
NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.
About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
