"i suffered from anxiety which turned really serious and ended in a 5-6 month depression. i never believed that depression or anxiety existed but now i really know. it is a medical tradition that needs treatment. i was on lorazepram and abilify for awhile and it didn&#039;t do a thing for me except for make me really tired. i was hopeless and finally told my therapist how i was really feeling and she worked with my psychiatrist to prescribe my zoloft. it didn&#039;t work for awhile. i started on 50mg and then was moved up to 100mg. i remember about a month later i was driving home and actually felt happy for the first time in a long long time. i felt like my old self before my anxiety and depression happened. this medicine along with counseling worked."
