My doctor prescribed me zoloft, I've got a few friends who have either had bad experiences themselves or someone they know had them, has anybody taken this for anxiety? I recently had an attack so bad I felt like finally getting medical help, she prescribed blood pressure meds and zoloft, I'm soooooo scared to start taking an ssri bc of all the terrible things I hear about them, is there medication I can take that isn't an ssri or something like xanax? I work with machines so I can't have any mind altering substances, thanks and sorry if this has been asked before, really I just wanna stay away from stuff I have to take daily, my brain cannot remember it and I don't trust myself to remember.
