Hi Khara,
I have taken Zoloft for depression a few years ago and I also took Alesse a couple of years ago and am thinking about taking it again (Alesse). I am not a physician, however I can tell you that the excessive sleepiness and the low sex drive is from the Zoloft. I was only on it for 3 and a half months so I don't know if the side effects get better or not. The Alesse just made me feel sort of spacey I think. good luck!

Robin
