Hi just started this drug today so hope it helps.

HOWEVER,is this the right drug for me (i know what your thinking give it ago)

All i read is that this is for depression and people that have depression,

i do however mine is a side effect from my main problem of intrusive thoughts,laymens terms,i can,t stop thinking (about everything) constant thoughts,thoughts that have a purpose but i go over and over and over about it, or stupid pointless thoughts where i say to my self why the hell am i go with this ?

i see something (for example) a dog at the side of the busy road and go on to the next stage of what if that happened and then what if that happened untill i have gone through a full scenario of what may happen or may not happen if the dog walks out into the road.

That one may a some point if the dog did walk out,but i question myself why im thinking about why im thinking about thinking, about thinking

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO ANYONE?

i wish i could just shut up and have no thoughts and it (or i would be able to sit whithout thinking) is that possible ?

I only feel that alcohol works and supresses these over active thoughts however i have come to the conclusion and decision that this is not the way forward for me, hense why im here with my little box of pills.

Hope someone,s still reading.

so my question to you all is have you been prescibed these drugs because you are just depressed or is there some othere condition you suffer from, and because of this causes or is making you feel depressed.

please help with your thoughts experiances and views to my question, if you understand me.

Take care

Regards mark

    Hi Mark

    Boy what an experience for me to read all this stuff-I have had intrusive morbid thought all of my 61 years coupled with backround depression

    -how good to be amongst friends

    I have tried all sorts of therapy -some prooved to be effective -but I am always prone to fall back in the pit if my home life is disturbed. I am a designer and have an active mind which runs away with itself if i let it

    Anyway look up EFT meridian therapy and try it out-it will work for you to resolve some core issues and together with the sertraline you may be in for the quatity of life you so dearly yearn for

    my best wishes and good luck

    Barrie
