Why does Sertraline zombify me?

Posted by Martinchen978 on December 1, 2018, at 14:49:44

My brief period (6 months) on Sertraline has been that it sapped my creativity and basically made me not want to do anything, not feel anything. I just sit at the computer and watch videos and occasionally walk around, or eat, or go to the bathroom. I just don't have any drive to really do very much of anything, except what is needed for continued survival. I don't even want to watch movies and series!

Is that normal?

It's a good anxiolytic (?), but I wonder if its anxiolytic effect derives from the fact that I don't care anymore...

It was good though in relieving my psychosomatic ailments.

Shall I taper off that Sh*t Reuptake inhibitor?
