I was on Sertraline for about a year following a mild bout of depression bought on from losing the last of my birth family.
I feel better about life now, and for me Sertraline helped along with some counseling. Not perfect, but I’m the same person and can rationalize bad feelings a bit more.
Towards the end of my treatment I found that it had destroyed my libido. That has now returned to whatever is normal for a near 60 year old!
The most noticeable difference is that i find that my enjoyment of food and drink is reduced as many things now taste bland. In particular, my enjoyment of good quality beer has gone. I respected the not drinking alcohol during the treatment, and have resumed drinking albeit very moderately. I actually like the non alcoholic beers just as much or more.
Has anyone else found that their taste and enjoyment of food and drinks have changed?
