I was utterly against taking any pills for the anxiety and PTSD that I’m suffering from. I actually put up with nearly a decade of deep despair and found it almost impossible to go out on my own. It was extremely hellish and I often thought of suicide. I was doing psychotherapy three times a week. In a strange way that was often making it worse. I started with 25 mg of sertraline and after a week I went up to 50 mg. My libido has gone down to 0 which is a shame. I think I’ve put on a little bit of weight. Overall it has helped enormously and I would say that I usually feel nicely Okay and quite happy. I would recommend it. It is advisable not to eat grapefruit nor to drink alcohol whilst on this medication but I can get away with a small amount of alcohol occasionally. I seem to be very lucky in that my side effects are small and the positives absolutely outweigh them. 👍 I have been on sertraline now for nearly 2 years.
