I am on Day 6 of Zoloft. I am to increase to 50mg on Thursday, but I am already starting to feel the positive effects. My energy came back immediately. Yesterday, I felt increased motivation. Today, I am starting to feel good.
Side effects have been quite tolerable--mild nausea, dizziness. I haven't had headaches, but I feel like my brain is swelling. I don't know what causes that sensation, but I like to think it is new brain cells being produced.
Now I realize, after 44 years, that I haven't really been living at all. All this time, I've been depressed. Life never had to be as hard as it has been. I feel with the help of these drugs, I can kick this C-PTSD thing.
Good to hear you're feeling positive with and about your antideps. I take a different type of antidep and I think they help me too. :)
that's great to hear. sometimes we actually can live better thru chemistry. good for you for giving this a shot. sending love and a :hug:
I had no idea I was depressed, either! It's crazy how things can just slide over time, and then you can't remember where you started. I hope that all is well and that it continued to help.
