| 4 | Depression, anxiety, OCD | Short term memory loss, diarrhea, frequent urination, interrupted sleep, weight gain, occasional feeling that something is crawling on my ankles. | Even with all the side effects, I continue to take this med becaus it’s been the most effective for me over the last 19 years. I was not willing to take meds for a long time and insisted depression could be address d through a combination of the right nutrition, exercise, therapy, and spiritual practice. All this things help, but aren’t enough to correct a chemical imbalance. When I found out that I was pregnant, I abruptly stopped taking it without asking my doctor. This was a huge mistake and why I am convinced hat I will always need some sort of chemical support. I felt like I had fallen into a dark hole. I couldn’t think rationally, I was paranoid, I couldn’t force myself to be around people, I felt hopeless and doomed. | F | 47 | 12 years 150 | 3/25/2018 | 4 | Depression, Anxiety, OCD | Decreased sexual libido, heartburn, forgetfulness | I've been taking antidepressants since I was 17 yrs old. At the time I could remember my quality of life was taken in the wrong direction for a while. Doing self destructive things...allowing myself to be taken advantage of, very sensitive, very easy to manipulate..pretty much no backbone, and suicidle. Introduced to SSRI's have helped me to get my mind right. I started making more logical decisions for my life. Thinking more rational. Every now and then disturbing thoughts haunt me..but not as bad as if I wasn't taking the medicine. I would say a little desensitizing with emotions and libido. But there are other ways to fix that than to be fully dependent on the medication to fix everything because it doesn't. But it has brought a lot more peace into my mind and think more rational and to help me make more logical decisions. I think if anyone is having trouble with this should seek therapy cause that is also part of the treatment. I'm 37 now..still taking Sertraline and it's definitely been a life saver, mind saver, and choice saver. | F | 37 | 1 years 100mg | 10/24/2016 |
