Anti-depressants (Sertraline 2)
Jump to: Newest in thread
Forgive me for saying, (only an opinion) I think anti depressants are being over prescribed. I understand they help people but I can't help think that doctors or other medical professionals just use them as the easy option.🤔 |

Unfortunately the best (combined) help is therapy. This is either expensive or has a long waiting list. |

Yeah, I know you're right... It annoys me that the government ( won't mention who) made such huge cut backs in social treatment. The ripple effect is massive and will take years to recover, if it ever does 😔 |

"When I was going through my divorce my gp wanted to put me on it and I took it for over a week but for me I didn’t like the detachment feeling…"
That's exactly what in talking about...I can understand that given your situation you may have been feeling down and awful (who could possibly blame you) however it's more of an emotional distressed state (situationally) as opposed to a depressed (especially clinically) state. The symptoms are similar however the causes are completely different. I think sometimes doctors miss this and simply just sign a prescription for ease. 🤔 |

Just been prescribed setraline for depression was on fluoxetine for years started on one a day and last year was put up to 3 a day but things got worse and worse nearly cost me my job and marriage after the fluoxetine I was put on citalepram or however you spell it these didn’t work for me hence now on setraline haven’t had any side effects apart from not sleeping |

I've had diazepam, dothiepin, fluoxitine and now sertraline. I thought sertraline was by far the best but of course this is a very individual thing.
The one thing that trumps the lot is talking over a coffee or beer with my closest friends and sharing our hopes and fears. That is the best therapy of all. |

I was prescribed setraline at first, didn't feel like they were doing anything, then they switched me to metazipine (my apologies for spelling that completely wrong) they definitely helped me sleep but damn did i feel crap during the day.
I've stopped taking them (my own choice) I definitely don't feel as blah during the day and some days do feel like I'm winning the fight...to be honest I've not talked to anyone about this really as I don't know what to do ,do I go back and ask for something different again or do I go on without anything..I just don't want to be taking them all my life that's one of my worries  |

Which is why talking therapies are advocated.
As a society many people have lost the social support of family/neighbours/friends compared to decades ago. We are a fractured society. |

It will be dependent on the cause(s) of the depression to how long you'll be on them. If you have made headway yourself, acknowledge that.
Must add, don't ever use alcohol as a strategy. It is a depressant. |

When I first created the discussion a while ago it struck me as no one was talking about the side effects and I knew if I had something other would to so thought why no start a dialogue |

Absolutely, gut health, brain injury and poor breathing techniques all add more sediment to this muddy pool of low moods. |

I agree totally. I feel lonely a lot even when I was in a relationship. Family 200 miles away. Winter is always hardest for be, quite I get SAD, plus all my social life is summer based, cricket, golf etc. I do walking football and they have a good social side too. Lots of blokes in the group struggle with mental health. |

I find exercise is the best way for me to cope and clear my head. I'm not much of a talker, just like most men, so going for a run, out for a cycle, or playing football really helps. |

Meeting a councillor was the best thing I ever did. Not only were they sympathetic to what I was saying, the way they ask you questions lets you discover the answers. Wish I’d done it sooner! |

Perhaps, but for some of us who suffer from neurochemical imbalances, they really are the only option. Either that or accept the fact we'll never feel normal. Mental illnesses aren't things that can be understood by anyone who's never suffered them.

Recently I have come off sertraline. Have been on it for several years and although slowly the dose had to be increased it kept me steady. Things started to go wrong again last year with the loss of my job and then the sudden loss of my girlfriend of 18 years. Xmas was a particularly horrible time. I was maxed out on sertraline. So they have swapped me. Now on venlafaxine. Early days. |

This medication can increase blood pressure, so do allow the GP to keep an eye on it. |

Thing is not everything can be fixed with talking, it helps definitely but when the life problems behind Anxiety/Stress/Depression are very real, then help is as far as it goes.
In my case I have a wife with MS and in a wheelchair and my son is autistic and I was working shifts in a high pressure manufacturing industry.
Talking couldn’t fix any of those things but it did help but not enough.
In the end the only real improvement I could do was take early retirement so I can care for them. |

Well said my friend. Depression and other mental illnesses are "real" illnesses just like physical health illnesses. If you're a diabetic, wouldn't you take your diabetic medication to have some quality of life? And yes, most medicines do come with side effects, but you weigh up the cost and benefits, like most things in life. Unfortunately because of the stigma still attached to mental illness and it's treatment, it still remains a misunderstood taboo subject  |

I've been on sertraline for years for stress and anxiety
I also get panic attacks, suddenly and for no reason
My sleeping is shit
My libido is shit
When I met my wife sex was awesome
Now we hardly have it and when I do get aroused usually end up a limp dick after a short while
This has taken a toll on our marriage
My wife is on them as well
I tried to come off them once,as advised by my gp but started being ill again
This year I've been slowly cutting down each month
This month, trying 50mg see what happens
I hope my sex life improves
Miss it |

I’m doing the same, been taking half a tablet for 5 weeks now with the option to take a full one if I have a jittery day. Going ok so far and libedo is definitely up.
Good luck, hope it goes well for you

Citalopram made sex impossible, I just couldn't cum. Even doing it myself was a struggle to get over the line.
Mirtazpine just made me eat. I put on about 2 stone so had to stop.
Been on Fluoxetine for a while now, it seems to work best for me with mininal side effects. |

Definitely this - I’m on Citalopram - was diagnosed with CPTSD about 16 months ago - doseage has been up and down over the years. Have to agree a good support network has always worked better than meds |

My experience with setraline is 💯 negative.. I wish I had not started on it and glad I got off .. but as some wiser heads have said .. it effects different people in different ways and may work for you but the side effects as well as the not helping my condition means I give of double thumbs down and can’t recommend or say anything good about the drug
Good luck to who ever is on this or you’re anti depressants … get well soon |

I’m on day 3 of Mirtazipine. I am so drowsy it’s untrue. I spoke the pharmacist and am going to try and take it at 1830 to see if that helps me wake up less groggy. I’ve been having daytime naps (most unlike me) the vivid dreams are unreal… I’m having it alongside therapy but bloody hell it’s hard going. I’m only in 15mg too. It is helping me sleep though!x |

Excellent advice, for years I thought I knew my causes, from my childhood mainly, but all the time the real causes were all around me. My job, but incredibly, my wife, her kids and family. I walked away from the lot and 3 years later I have a new job and home in a new town but unfortunately I will never trust a woman in a relationship again. No offence intended, this is my story. I’m still depressed because the divorce was horrific not to mention expensive, lost my mum suddenly at Xmas, 2023/24 was a bad time. Sertralin screwed with my memory then had venlafaxine but couldn’t take enough so now on Vencarm which is the slow release version of the above. I still get shit days when I don’t get out of bed, and I mean not even to pee or eat. |

They send me haywire when I miss them. Luckily I maintain the ability to have sex but it does vary, especially regarding reaching climax. They've never affected me enough to stop things being fun.

Exactly the same here with the sex. Solid as a rock and pumping away and then it just disappears. I can’t cum anymore. And the worst thing is, you have to explain this to the person that you’re just about to try and fuck rather than go limp and suffer the embarrassment. |

I’m with you mate. If I thought it would work I would try and come off but I worry I’m not yet strong enough. Also I’ve read that the sex problems may be permanent even if you come off. |

I also have had libido problems (and night sweats and insomnia) with sertraline— so much so I’ve reduced my dosage from 150mg a day to 100mg. I want to reduce it further to 50mg but the GP was clear that the dose has to be lowered incrementally.
In terms of other ways to counteract the side effects on sex, as well as viagra/cialis before intercourse, try taking 30mg of zinc and a vitamin B6 supplement each day. I’ve been doing so for two weeks now and I’ve already noticed a firmer, more engorged erection. Can get harder more quickly too. |

That was a serious question. Viagra is a heart medication first and an ED treatment second, as that was one the side effects. |

I was fine until coming back from Ukraine on last stint as a frontline aid volunteer (wife was fine with me going there btw, and with BBC coming to house to film me packing med gear a few hours before I left on first trip March 2022).
Since then I've found out my son isn't mine, she became extremely hostile and narcissistic - projecting everything onto me, deprived (I've nicked) me of my share of a substantial (£400k+) inheritance, turned my friends and family against me and made homeless with the clothes on my back and £6 in my pocket. Maybe, just maybe, that's why I became sui.ci.dal and extremely depressed? |

Depression is hugely underrated underdressed thing in my opinion I had two heart attacks my then girlfriend fucking my best friend behind my back and I was prescribed sertraline it has literally saved my life things got to the point I either was on the verge of crying or fighting nothing went smoothly for a good few years but since I've been on sertraline my head is in a good place. I'll be honest with every one of u though you need someone to talk to i have a couple of close friends who helped me as well |

I was prescribed Sertraline for about 2 years and moved onto Escitilopram and have been on that for about 1 year. Side effects have been varied some minor and some pretty awful but they leveled out.
It's amazing how calm life is nowadays; give it time and things get better xx

Don't mean to be a conspiracy head. But you should look into the pharmaceutical trade and companies like Pfizer before taking any prescribed drugs you might change your mind the pharmaceutical trade is the biggest money earner for the powers that be so the more people on drugs more money they earn |

I have been taking sertraline for a year now, looking to change the ringing in my ears is getting louder by the day! Driving me barmy. Also notice a lot of apathy, so time to change, although do enjoy not giving a fuck haha

Yes, one of the reasons why I’m decreasing my dose is because I feel too ‘flat’, emotionally. I mean, that’s its job— to level things out— but it’s just too much and clouds my ability to be appropriately empathetic. |

Sertraline made me feel like a zombie, always feeling meh still and sweaty. Venlafaxine now isn't much better. Wanna come off as I've been told it's ADHD and autism not depression. Lots are similar |

Sertraline . Interesting side effects. No problems getting a hard on, or keeping it.
But Without tearing the skin off it to try an unload on my ex mrs tits face arse etc . I could not cum.
Did what I needed at the time . Calmed my head down. Glad to be off that shit tho

I have been on sertraline for about three months now after being on escitalopram for two months but the side effects were horrible so was put on sertraline instead, the side effects are not as bad as escitalopram but I’m finding it really difficult to get a hard on and then when I do it takes me ages to orgasm. |
