Sertraline makes me feel more depressed and tired
Posted , 5 users are following.
Im 29 years old and been on this medication for about 2 to 3 years maybe more not sure but it's made my life hell.... I'm not motivated I don't feel love I'm numb to any relationship iv had and I feel way more depressed then I ever did before I've tried over medication but they didn't help I went on sertraline because I had depression but also had insomnia but now I sleep to much I need something for happiness and motivation cause I don't want to live like this anymore

Why do you still take it then? Couldn't you ask the doctor to try something different? Xx

Because I've asked my doctor and he said there one of the best kind and said see how I go on them but I get withdrawal symptoms after stopping I tried to stop myself for 6 days and couldn't see properly it made me have head claps and dizziness was horrible iv only signed up today because I wanted to read up on sertraline I didn't realise how much it effected others in the same way I'm going doctor's to make him change them there ruining my life xx

You have to taper off them slowly I know it's hard, I was on citalopram for 7 years and didn't really do that much, they pooped out on me and I've just started sertraline. I stopped mirtazapine cold turkey and only lasted 6 days, it was hell! But please taper slowly and hopefully you will find a new medication that works ?

I've been on tablets for 15 years I've been on citalopram .. floxetene ..mirtazapine.. Buspirone and sertraline none of them work I hope I do find something because I've lost interest on these more then any of them but I get other bad effects off them others 😥
