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.

I'm going to school right now, taking business, but I'm planning on going strait into a writing course this January and dropping the business, because it turns out I hate it. Anyway, I think there's a pretty good chance I'll fail all but one of my courses right now. lol the one course I will pass is, of course, Business Communications, a writing course. The thing is, I'm not failing because I don't have the cognitive Rating: 5
