Zoloft vs alcohol for treating anxiety?

My mind and heart feel like they run at twice the speed they should.
I’ve been drinking alcohol to slow my body down. Should I switch to medication, like Zoloft? Does Zoloft kill brain cells, like alcohol?
I am in no way an alcoholic. I drink every now and then when I have bad anxiety.

i have horrible anxiety too and drinking alchohol is the worst thing you can do.
a week or two ago i drank before i went to a party in hopes that id be happier and less self-consious. in the end i had alcohol poisoning and almost died.
im going on some medication hopefully within this month and never drinking again.
so deffinitly dont drink because i know how it is, you drink until your happy. and its never enough.
please dont drink for happiness.
annd good luck.(:

Ask your dr to put you on a medication to deal with your anxiety like xanax or clontopin, there are many others as well. They act just like alcohol in slowing down your brain and nervousness, in fact these drugs are used to detox alcoholics
Alcohol will make the anxiety far worse, and is probably part of the reason you are anxious now. Just put it away, it’s a downward spiral and go for the Zoloft. Give it a month, your anxiety will improve!
