"i&#039;ve suffered with anxiety for years but finally came to a head a few years ago. had some personal family issues that became overwhelming. i was always mad, sad, frustrated, you name it and that was me. my brain could not stop thinking about my problems. it was very tiring.
 i finally went to the doctor and he prescribed zolft 25 mg. for the first few days i felt like brain waves going on in my head but no big deal. within 2 weeks i started feeling happy! a few months later the doctor put me up to 50 mg. i felt the brain waves again for about 48 hours and then stopped. i&#039;ve been on zolft for about one year. it was the best thing i could have done for myself. oh i can still get mad or sad but not as severe or for as long."
