First time I had a 4 month or so stint on sertraline (Zoloft) when I was having a bit of a crisis, I was okay on it, very chilled like you described. I was only ever meant to be on it short term though, my GP specifically told me she didn’t want me on it longer than 6 months. So I tapered off, that felt a bit weird as I remember, I got some odd symptoms.

A few years later, stressed out at the start of the pandemic working in food retail and dealing with all sorts I asked for sertraline again but this time I wasn’t well on it at all, it really disagreed with me for some reason, I took it a week at most then came off. No idea why.

I see what you mean about sertraline making you okay with situations you shouldn’t have been okay with. I felt like I had emotional blunting on it, I wasn’t sad but I wasn’t happy either. There’s a lot being said about the so called efficacy of antidepressants, and the side effects too.
