I've been on Sertraline (50/100mg) for a bout 18 months. There is not doubt at all that it has helped me through a difficult time in my life and things are alot better now after some hard work with councellors and CBT.
However just recently I have found that sometimes I'm a bit out of character, I'm a bit over confident and careless and say things without thinking that sometimes are close to the mark. In my head they are funny but afterwards I have the realisation that they are just a bit odd.
Its a bit embaressing to talk about but I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences and can help manage it. Maybe its as simple as lowering the dose?
That doesn't sound good. Sorry to hear that. I was on Cipramil orignally but these work much better for me. I think that you know if they are for you or not in the first few weeks.
If they are not woring ffor you go back and try something different. In my experience it is different for everyone.
Ive been on many other s tramazappine for past 2 years the year changed to these not been well not even got the will power to call the doctor as I can't go out the house to make my appointments so I'm sitting here suffering ran out off alcohol as I use that to.block pain out it's going to be a very long few days not sure if I can cope with it
Eu também tomei sertralina, na mesma dose que você, por quase um ano. No começo, foi bom, e quando a dose foi aumentada para 100 mg, me senti muito mais estável: a voz interior insistente que dizia “queria estar morto” o dia todo diminuiu. Mas agora ela voltou com força total, e comecei a ir novamente ao meu conselheiro, que se pergunta se devo tentar aumentar ainda mais a dose. E (para responder à sua pergunta) ultimamente, muitas vezes percebo que estou agindo de forma fora do meu padrão — rindo alto e de forma inadequada — mas acho que é o resultado de ter que esconder constantemente meus sentimentos e “fingir” estar feliz, o que é tão cansativo e às vezes sai errado. Isso faz algum sentido?
Hang on friend we are all suffering in one way or another, do not give it more room to expand, try and get out and do small things, I find it hard going to work everyday but i have no choice but to put on this persona that i am ok, dont give in
Hi Sue, sorry for the very slow reply. It makes sense for sure but for me it seems different like i'm just ... well uninhibited. Its awkward. I have no filter.
The thing is that I don;t want to lower teh dose as I also have low days.. i'm just trying to find a 'happy' medium.
They do say that actinbg happy can actually make you feel happier.
