I just wanted to quickly share that since reducing from 100mg to 75mg, even in the short space of 3-4 weeks that I've already noticed a surge in my libido. All is not lost wink

      I reduced because I've been on sert now for 8 mths and just feel it's time to taper down, possibly come off altogether. I have very vivid dreams (not nightmares) my weight seems harder to shift & loss of libido. But having said all that sert has definitely helped me. I just don't like the idea of being on med forever. But that's me personally, I also think of you're doing well on them don't feel bad about it - some of us just need a little help.

      Ps. I haven't really noticed much difference in my mood since changing to 75mg. One or two wobbly days at the start but then as stated, my sex drive has increased so there's pros & cons that you have to weigh up.
