Patient education:

Your depression symptoms, like feeling tired, down and sad, crying, cannot get into sleep, and loss interest of doing usual activities; and other symptoms of nausea and abdominal cramps are likely due to birth control injection, Depo-Provera, you got on Jan 28. Since you do not want to go counseling at this time, and family are very supportive, I will give you Zoloft to temporarily help you to get over the side effects of Depo-Provera. The medication’s name is Zoloft, it is a tablet, 25mg, take it orally, once a day, for 14 days. And I would like you to know that Zoloft has side effects as well, like drowsiness, feeling anxious, loss of appetite, decrease sex drive, and shaking. In addition, we will do some lab tests to rule out thyroid problems and rule out pregnancy. We will call you if the results are ready. This medication is only for temporarily relief of depression, I want you to come back and follow up within 14 days, before you finish the pills, and we will re-evaluate you and see what we can do from there.
