Can anyone relate? I have been taking sertraline for years and I have been trying to go off. I only take it to stop the withdrawal. ughhh
I swear it makes me make bad decisions. I got pregnant twice while on it and both times did not want to get pregnant. ( I love my kids but just saying)
Now that I am withdrawing I feel as if I am almost "waking up". Does this make sense? I also have done very bad things that I possibly may not have done while off it. It is almost as if I don't care about anything. Casual sex with no condoms, etc.
I was taking it for anxiety, depression, etc. but I feel as if I have wasted ten years of my life. I have gotten no where. There was so much I wanted to accomplish and it went down the drain! When I tell the doctor these things, he says, no no, it doesn't make you do that.
I have a sex drive now, feel more alive, but everything is making me mad and it scares me! On sertraline, I feel as though I "take" everything from people. if they yell at me or treat me bad, I just sit there and think it is okay. But off of it I am getting mad. I shouldn't take what i do from people!
I do also have extremely low self esteem
