Well, my cheap advice would be to really see a professional before I started taking Zoloft. Since you mentioned this was two different doctors, leads me to believe you don't have a long history with this most recent doctor that prescribed the meds. If you had been a regular patient of his for years, then I might trust his "picking up on something" in your demeanor to warrant the prescription.
"wasn't based on anything but sitting there talking to me". Did you tell him anything direct, like, I feel down in the dumps, or blue, or my energy is down and I have no motivation? Anything that would trigger this. I apologize if I am sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong, but you asked for advice and you're a pretty good dude from what I can tell. I just hate to see you started on Zoloft from a "quick and dirty" diagnosis. (I dated a girl briefly that was hooked on this stuff, can't get off now and will be taking it probably for the rest of her life).
