When an incident happened in my family (one and a half years ago?) and I couldn't stop crying about it, my psychiatrist suggested that I take Sertraline (brand name Zoloft; I only take 25 mg a day--a children's dose, when I was crying, I took 50 mg a day for a while) and it did help me stop crying/numb my emotions. I take it after eating breakfast and have consistently found that when my H asks, "Did I take my medicine?"--when I look in my pill planner, I find I forgot. I only notice a difference myself if I forget two days in a row. When I stop taking it, I feel less detached and feel both good and bad emotions a little more strongly. I take a lot of meds but this one numbs my emotions the most. I keep the dose low because I know antidepressants aren't that good for us long term but I still take a low dose because it seems to help me be less impulsive/make better decisions.
