My sister keeps telling me to see a councilor...

I have a good friend who takes Zoloft because he has OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and he said that the Zoloft really relaxes him.

The OP did not complain of OCD-like symptoms.

I know this is a little off topic, but the other day he took a little more than what he was supposed to take and he was fucked up for half of the day. I thought he was high (he doesnt smoke weed). I was going to be like YES!!

You should know our policy on discussion of perscription med abuse. If not, I will be happy to re-set your rules acceptance status and sned you the link.

Anways when you go to a therapist, (my friend goes to one) ask them if Zoloft would help you.

That's not how it works. You go to a therapist. He talks to you for a couple sessions, gets a feel for your troubles. He thinks about whether you need medication at all. IF he decides you do, he'll talk to you about it, and suggest a med that suits the symptoms that present.

Zoloft is a PRIMITIVE ssri. I was put on it by my PCP, a NP, not by a shrink, who mistook my symptoms for PMS... what a crock of SHIT. I've got severe anxiety. The Zoloft made it FAR worse. Like, panic attack worse. I went off it after getting arrested for assault.

It's irresponsible to suggest specific psych meds to someone when you know NOTHING about them, their application, or their side effects.
