I've been suffering from terrible anxiety and went on sertraline over a month ago. Initial dose of 50mg wasn't high enough and started on 100mg a week ago. It's just kicked in big-time and even though I'm going through a major relationship trauma and might be splitting with my fiance, I don't really care! If this had happened before I'd started my meds, I would have been almost suicidal! Splitting with him would have been my worst nightmare.
This is great but scares me a little - I'm normally a highly emotional person and although I'm acting quite rationally and not actively avoiding things, this way of behaving is totally out of character. Does anyone have experience of SSRIs numbing the emotions and was it a good or bad thing for you?
