I was put on Sertraline some years ago. It was one of the worst experiences of my life - anxiety levels went through the roof, personality changed in such a way that i was unable to find anything amusing that i had done before, literally stopped me being able to laugh at anything. After persisting with the drug for, if i remember right, around two months, i stopped cold turkey - and the withdrawals were like hell. I started self medicating with ghb to try and get past that, but ended up needing to dose the ghb almost hourly (i had a lot of prior experience with ghb and knew that was a bad sign) to keep the brain zaps and panic attacks at bay. Ended up begging the doctor for two weeks worth of valium to get me past the sertraline withdrawals and the now ghb addiction, and it worked perfectly.

 So all in all, not a fan of sertraline, or ssri's in general tbh.
