Takes me a little longer on Zoloft. My psychiatrist and I agreed this is more of a good thing than a bad thing. The crippling anxiety I had without it was much worse for my libido.
That being said, I wish we understood these drugs better, because I know the side effects and efficacy vary in the extreme. I know for some people it's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.
Continued anecdata: when I forget to get my refill, the withdrawal is terrible. Dizziness, malaise, and "brain zaps". One of these days I'm going to have to wean off of it carefully before I try psychedelics.
- mehphp 5y agoI'm not a doctor, but I'd caution against trying psychedelics at all if you had crippling anxiety before. I didn't realize just how bad my anxiety could get until after I did Psilocybin. It wasn't the root cause of my anxiety, of course, but it sure as hell exacerbated it to the point of being pretty debilitating. I'm now on 25mg of Sertraline, which has all but wiped out my anxiety.
