Side effects and withdrawal symptoms (male suffering)
Posted , 5 users are following.
No disrespect to anyone here but I thought it might be useful to start a thread
I've taken 10 of the 50mg and now want to alternate days of taking it. The side effects are too bad. I'm more anxious and have worse phobias and insomnia than before. Is it worth it? I was better before.
Just saw a stuffed lion across the bedroom. I had one as a child.
My wife has her own issues with which I'm made to feel useless or untrusted. Routine operation and now gets her parents over to care for her.
At least she's got parents. My last one died and it's the loneliness of bereavement for me. Add to that my contract has finished so I'm presently out of work, while my wife doesn't work because of her fibromyalgia. All the pressure is on me. I can't cope, have no one to turn to..
As for male things the side effects say things about decreased drive and inability to climax. I'm just not interested and so I'm sure I will be made to feel guilty over that. And if i do try I will fail so that will be my fault too

I'm sorry it's tough for your relationship right now. I hope you can find someone to talk to and help you walk through this.
I'm now nearly 2 years in and feel the best I've ever felt. I have energy to do lots of things, the CBT has been a fantastic help for me.

I was referred to counselling when I was ready, it has been by far one of my best decisions.
How are you doing dotty??

not much comfort for you,but 10 days is NOt long enough for you to feel any benifit at all, you could be looking at 2 - 3 months, i could not be without it, i now go out dailey and feel im at 95%, still get odd days with syptoms of feeling very ill, but i cope much better with them now and there not so trouble some. you either have to stay with it for the caurse or if your sure it's not for you come off them gently and not over a few weeks. can again take 2 months to come off them. when starting sertraline it does get much worse before it gets better, take care

I was on 100 mg for years. I felt fine until about 3 months ago. I got depressed because I was feeling very alone. (husband passed 11 years ago and daughters too busy for mom) The Dr. put me on 200 mgs. I had some awful side effects. I was always sleeping, nausea, loss of appetite. It's not always easy to cope with life, and sometimes it's worse than others. (like the holidays) I called my Dr. to taper off, and she did not return my call. I was begging for help. I'm getting another doctor.
As for you, I definately think you need to talk to a psychistrist, and please know there is no shame in that. They are a lot smarter with advice than your friends. It won't hurt and will probably help you get thru this. Believe me, you are not the first.
In the frame of mind you have, you may be misunderstanding your relationship.
Seek professional help. The world today is so complicated. Think about it. . It might help
