Sertraline literally SAVED MY LIFE!!! Before I was put on it I'd been taking cymbalta for years and it stopped working, and I was depressed for the most part for a very long time. Years. But then when I asked my then psychiatrist to switch me and he did, I improved immensely. Now I'm actually engaging with my family (no more time holed up in the bedroom). I'm also on 200mg of wellbutrin, which is working quite well for the side effect of sertraline I couldn’t stand, AND it's actually helping me quit vaping, which is great. Of course, I also take 400mg of seroquel a night and 50mg of loxapine, so this probably all doesn't even count.

I'm one of the ones that couldn't handle the SAD lamps. Made me feel like I was going insane. Messed with my sleep. Gave me delusional thinking. Not good. It was returned. That thing was EVIL. 😈 Never again!
