Hi Beila!
So sorry to hear about your dad passing as well as the feelings of depression & anxiety. Alot going on in addition to your treatment!
I take 50mg of zoloft every day for my depression & anxiety. It was first prescribed when I was going thru peri-menopause and would have these PMS mini-rages. I don't feel any different from the med..can't even tell I am on it, but ai have noticed when I have gone off it a few times the anger returns as well as the 'blues.'
I take zanax about once every 2 or 3 years for when I cannot manage my anxiety on my own thru relaxation or other techniques I was taught. I don't care for it as I do feel like I have had a couple drinks (and I don't drink!), but it got me through high stress events like the biopsy.
Best of luck!
