Hi I was never prescribed Zoloft but it was given to me illegally by someone who no longer needed it, but I've been taking it for a couple weeks, I still have about a month's worth left, and I will try to get a prescription soon. It has cured my anxiety and given me the best feeling ever I feel completely numbed in a good way, I hear stories of people who's numbness  never went away, and it was a bad thing for them, but for someone like me it's good because it's the opposite of the anxious person I used to be. I'd like it if this numbness feeling never went away even if I stopped taking it. Is this already the case since I've had it in my body for a small amount of time, or would i have to take it for 12 months to get permanent changes? I don't mind any of the side effects if this is what life can be like forever. I'd just simply not like to be forced to keep taking it, especially since I want to join the military and they won't allow anxiety prescriptions within 3 years of enlisting
