I was on sertraline about 10 years ago and was on them for a few years on the highest dosage. It made me feel numb, zombie like and brain fog constantly, and like others said libido was completely gone. I think it made me more depressed to be honest. It felt like I knew there was a problem but wasn't sure what the problem is if that makes sense. So I decided enough is enough, I wanted to control my own life again and like a tw@ I went cold turkey. But, please people do not try, it's so dangerous and it made me ill for about 8 months.
When the effects died away from all of a sudden stopping the meds, I got parts of my life back but obviously wasn't fixed at all. Had some very dark days.
I have been doctors for many things over the years and all they do is give you medication for this and medication for that, until recently I got fed up of prescription drugs masking problems. So I done a bit of research.
I started taking vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3 about 3 weeks ago and my god my moods changed so much. I feel a lot better in myself, not felt this way for years. I have so many ailments because I don't get enough of them vitamins.
I think GPs sould have a look into things more thoroughly instead of just throwing anti depressants at us just to get you out of their way for 6 months.
What I'm trying to say is do some research into what vitamins your maybe lacking and that's a start. Then you may start feel better in yourself like I have, now I'm starting to get a bit of drive back and energy that may lead to exercise ... honestly I all about gave up. Sorry for the long ass boring post, had a tipple. They maybe something in here worth while to somebody. Main thing, Keep your chin up 👍
