A word about Zoloft. I have a relative with Schizophrenia. Unreasoning anger is often a symptom of that illness as it is with him. Very explosive and unfounded outbursts. He takes Zyprexa as an anti-psychotic and Zoloft as an anti anxiety drug. The Zoloft is very effective, but it can take a few weeks before the effects are that beneficial. Also, for many, 75 mg works best and 100 mg is too much. Your dosage may be low or has not taken full effect yet. Work with P Dr. to get dosage right if necessary, just 5mg either way and the change in effectivity can be quite significant. We on the forum have all been through difficult times. Things will get better I promise!
