Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern towards your symptoms.

I would like to advise you to start atomoxetine, which is a non stimulant, and can escalate the dose of zoloft along with this.

But, discuss with your doctor regarding these drugs.

Thank you.
