Sertraline- No emotions

[girlinneed101]

Hi :)
I've been suffering with anxious and intrusive thoughts for the past few months so finally got the courage to ring the doctors who prescribed me sertaline but said it would take a few weeks to feel any benefit from it.
However, I've only been taking it for 6 days and pretty much from day 1 I've felt nothing what so ever. Just nothing.
It's great in one way as I don't get a stabbing feeling in my heart or emotional breakdowns when ever I get an intrusive thought, but I don't feel even slightly sad, angry, or happy.
Even at my very worst, I was excited to see family that I haven't seen since February at Christmas, but I honestly just couldn't care less.
I don't ever really feel anything towards my partner.
I'd be frustrated if I was capable of it.

Anyone else experience this? Think I'd rather just come off it all together and at least enjoy a little bit of life.

I was the exact same when starting on sertraline, nothing bothered me either way, not happy not sad not anything it's a very strange feeling isn't it. Over time my emotions came back (never really lost them for my children) and things started to feel more pleasurable again. It took about 3 months from being prescribed them but I started on half a tablet 25mg a day as I was pregnant for 2 months and then increased to 50mg after. I would try and stick at them until February if you can, I can honestly say they saved my life and this is the most "normal" I have ever felt.

Thanks for your reply @fuckrightoff

I'm just unsure whether to stick will it or not as I'm just not enjoying anything, no interest in work, or family or anything, and I do of course what to have nice times and enjoy this time of year.

It's also hard for me to picture feeling upset if I came off them because I feel so emotionless I honestly can't remember what I was like this time last week. I remember crying a lot but not the feelings.

It's very odd
