Anti-Depressants Log: Day 4

Anti-Depressants Log: Day 4

The doctor recommended I start off on a half-dosage so that any side-effects are mild. The SSRI in question is Sertraline, and the usual dosage is 50mg a day, so these last four days I've just been on 25mg instead. I haven't noticed anything different other than being more aware of my lower-jaw and so clenching my teeth every now and then (grinding teeth is one of the usual side-effects, apparently). I've also noticed I can keep my contact lenses (dailies) in for a lot longer than usual before my eyes feel tired, but I'm pretty sure that's unrelated :P Will move up to 50mg as of tomorrow. Will see what happens.

[Excerpt] I think it's best for me to close off from people. I just need to convince myself of it and stop hoping somebody will help.

The Difficulties of Talking

[Excerpt] I "talk" a lot, but not about about the stuff that's actually on my heart and mind, which are the things I actually want to talk about. Here I try to explain why.

Welcome to the "Dark" side...

[Excerpt] I'm going to start writing a bit more candidly about my own thoughts and feelings, so some of it (or a lot of it, I'm not sure right now) may seem fairly 'dark'...
