switching anti-depressant medication

i was recently on lexapro for about 2 months & within those 2 months i had a complete loss of appetite, along with working 5-8 hour shifts without eating almost every day. i felt mentally better but never could get myself to eat much & it lead to me losing 11 lbs. (i’m 5’8 and went from 123 to around 112, so it was significant and shocking weight loss to me). my doctor did bloodwork and saw no problems, such as thyroid, so it lead me to only believe it could’ve been the medication i was on. i switched to zoloft a week or two ago. she told me to just immediately take zoloft in place of my lexapro. i feel a tiny bit better, but i don’t know if that’s just me telling myself i am. how long should it take until i see improvement (or not improvement if it doesn’t work). i have been feeling AWFULLY low lately, but i’m not sure if it could just be PMS, because i’m due to start my period tomorrow or if my feelings could be magnified and reacting badly to the zoloft. i don’t really know where i’m going with this, but opinions, advice, or any information would be very helpful. thank you.
