Answer 2

Talk to a psychologist and try to sort out the problems that are giving you anxiety in the first place. this is the more difficult route but in the end is better for you. Psych meds do not sort out your problems, they just help you forget them for a while.
If you still need them after intensive theapy, or if you have a medically affirmed chemical imbalance then take them responsibily. try to stay away from zoloft, as it has many side effects and messes severely with the seratonin uptake in the brain. This is a major problem when you need to come off them as you will have a massive lack of seratonin and will become more clinically depressed than before. too many people are on anti-depressants when they just need to sort thier stuff out. If you can do it the hard way, please do. It's better in the long run.

Answer 3

I would recommend talking to a registered pharmacist and your doctor. Call your nearest Walgreen's or Savon or other pharmacy and ask to speak to the pharmacist. They will answer your questions and you don't even have to tell them your name. Also, if you think you are having side effects talk to the doctor who prescribed these to you immediately. You want to make sure you stay healthy, especially if you are having some nasty side effects. In some people, especially young people, Zoloft has been reported to increase thoughts of suicide. Please seek help immediately.
