For me, sertraline helped me finally wake up and feel like myself again. (Plus buspirone for the sexual side effects and jaw clenching… which I guess could also be a sexual side effect if it happens at the wrong time.)
To be fair, since that time, which was probably close to 10 years ago, I’ve since found out that I have autism and ADD (diagnosed last year), and I’ve found that I’m quite sensitive to a lot of medicine, meaning it’s possible I was overmedicated on sertraline. Or maybe it’s the opposite, that because of my alexithymia, meaning the few feelings I had was dulled incredibly, and the other feeling I wasn’t feeling was turned to practically 0.
I’m very happy to hear that it helped you though. Where I live I doubt I’d had access to buspirone anyway.
That sucks.
