Detailed Vlog of my own experience taking Sertraline *I don't recognise myself

It is approaching 7 weeks since I first introduced this antidepressant into my system and the side effects started from just day 10
I have been as honest as I could be in this vlog and I do feel it is important that you don't let my own personal experiences put you off taking Sertraline if your doctor thinks you should take it. Please do your own research and always take your doctors advice.

@AmandasAllotment 4 года назад

I came off all my medications early this year and im so glad i did! You have to do whats right for you but iv never heard of sertraline helping and i know quite a few ppl that have taken it and had similar problems. I know men arent great talkers however if there are any groups in your area or therapy centres, try looking into it. Coupled with more natural remedies, might help. Any way its good of you to talk about mental health as its something more of us suffer with than ppl think. Take good care of yourself and dont feel pressured to make videos if you arent feeling it. A break can do the world of good 😊

@redgingerbreadpam 4 года назад

Joe I dont have much advice, as I struggle myself each day with severe chronic autoimmune diseases & pain. This in itself wipes me out & totally can spin me into a depression. Some days are better, some are close to impossible. I've struggled since I was 25 & I'm now 56. Also I have extreme hair loss also & I'm a female so it's a very hard thing to deal with...so hang in there, as a Male I think guys look great with no hair. As a previous nurse, you catch the flu from someone or somewhere not actually getting cold. If your body system is weakened sometimes it makes a virus, etc to grab onto you...if that makes sense. I haven't made videos on my channel for a couple months because I'm in a downward spiral & just trying to get better also. Take care & know that you are definitely not alone, as you can see from all your comments. I'm in USA & our medical care is extremely expensive. My meds are over 800.00/month & Dr & blood work is over 200.00 every 6 months. Its terrible. I also have the horrible sleep patterns, dragging feelings each day because of it. Being in the gardens help greatly but right now where I'm living...no place to garden. I hope to move back to my home area next year & go back to my gardening. Hate so much that Drs rush you & dont listen to the patient. Love seeing you & Kelly doing whatever y'all choose to do.

@dellapeachey9591 4 года назад

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. I to have been fighting off a cold or who knows what. I miss turkey day with my family cause I was sick again. Don't feel like doing anything. It's hard to find the right combination when you are on different medications. You need a dr. who will sit down with you & take the time to lesson to you & go over each of the medication that you are taking or they want to give you. Are any of your meds. not working right with each other ? Don't think I said that right. I hope you know what I mean. Maybe you need a rest from doing video's for a while. We will all be here for you when you are ready. You need to take care of YOU. Like a said before you are very lucky to have Kelly in your life. It shows that she loves you very much & will stand with you no matter what. Just hang in there. Things will get better. God has a plane for you, you just don't see it right now. He is their for you. My thoughts & prayers go out for you & Kelly. LV U both. Your friend from the US. :)

@tonysgardensgizmos7164 4 года назад

Just goes to show, my OH has been on Sertraline for 6 years now - thats drug number 5 or 6 i think, and the first one thats actually made her human again. Thing with Sertraline is dosage - if you go in cold at a dosage like 100mg it'll mess you up for weeks until you get used to it. She stopped for a couple of weeks as she couldnt get to the docs for her script, and went back on the same dosage - mucked her up for a month!

@TheCondescendingRedditor Год назад

I hopped on 100 right away and just kind of dealt with the side effect. Then upped it to 150 after two weeks and the side effects weren’t bad at all. What did she experience

You are 100% right it is FRUSTRATING thats my life stress stress

@Mrs.TJTaylor 4 года назад

I hate SSRIs. My experience with them is that they work by cutting off the sharp edges of depression, anxiety etc., but they also dull down happiness and enjoyment. They made me numb and uncaring. That’s it. They cannot make you happy or enthusiastic for life. And the higher the dose and longer the the course of “treatment” the worse the dullness becomes. I want to experience my life for what it is, both the good and the bad, highs and lows. I combat mood irregularity with Vitamin D, a healthful diet, daily strenuous exercise, as much time as i can get outdoors, hard, productive work, fun, and motivational V logs such as yours! Be so very careful with that stuff, Joe.

@jcbanbury 3 года назад

So does that mean you couldn't enjoy hobbies? Had no interest in them

@Mrs.TJTaylor 3 года назад

@@jcbanbury I carried on with life as usual, no real lows, but also no real highs. Just a general numbness about it all. That was when my medication was deemed “adjusted”. I was prescribed one brand that made me impatient, irritable, impulsive and out of control of my temper. It also had me thinking about sudden death for the first and only time in my life. I got off that one quickly! This isn’t candy. SSRI’s have serious effects on mood and personality.

Hi Joe i dont normally comment but I can relate, im 28 so we are around the same age and I take 100mg sertraline for my OCD and also have IBS (Apparently). Although everyone will react to medication differently I found the first 3 months on sertraline to be tiring almost like fatigue and worsened depression daily, im studying plant science and I have a 2 year son and a supporting girlfriend/mother so it was hard. Im on them over a year this time around and My mood is leveled out and the OCD is more manageable, I wish you the best in your future. Finally the sexual dysfunction it is a long term problem and its a disaster when you are in your late 20's trying to come to terms that the purple pill is necessary 😂 Best of luck from Ireland.

@mikey7278 5 месяцев назад

Today my GP who is not a psychiatrist told me talking therapy, and or CBT wont help me and I should take Sertraline (yet he could not give any diagnosis on whats wrong with me and was blase af). Ive been researching it and fuck no. Im a gym rat and its really important for my mental health. Sertraline reduces testosterone and causes weight gain, and what your saying about low mood, lack of emotion sexual dysfunction etc is a massive red flag. So I wont be taking this shit. Recently ive got into meditation and mindfulness and its really helping me. As well as trying to eat and sleep better 🙏

Hey there, you sound like you're a Londoner? I just subbed. I'm starting on sirtraline on Monday, after coming off a long course of fluoxetine so I'm interested to know how it will work with me. I found fluoxtetine left my head in a bit of a fluffy cloud, and that sertraline has a bit more of a stimulant effect

I took sertraline 2 days. On second day, i looked in the mirror, my eyes 👀 were creepy wide open, black ⚫️ pupils. I then got dizzy, had to lay down and was unconscious for a few seconds. When i looked in the mirror, it didn't look like myself. It was not me, not my eyes looking back. So creepy. Ill never take it again. Not sure if it's a brain thing that makes you not recognize yourself in the mirror or some demonic spiritual stuff. Not going to try to figure it out. I just realized what happened to me is probably why some people end it all taking this drug.

Sooner you are off those the better. Not sure I've had a good time with any of them. Although I was taking duloxetine for my nerve pain which is an antidepressant mainly I got on really well with that. Until they mess up my deliveries and I spend 5 days withdrawing that's no joke and Dr seems to think I shouldn't be suffering withdrawal lol. Although it helped I came off it because I can't do the withdrawal.
