"i&#039;ve been on sertraline since june and now it&rsquo;s november. so let&rsquo;s call it 5 months. 

i started off very small dosages. eventually increasing all the way to 150mg a day (which i&rsquo;m on now). 

i&rsquo;m 34, male. the side effects make it very very difficult to ejaculate and very, very hard to have a good nights sleep. both problems are a direct result of the sertraline. 

the positive side - less frightened and less scared. less anxiety. less depressed. i actually feel good. i do not think i&rsquo;m &lsquo;high&rsquo; or &lsquo;delusional&rsquo;. i am still 100% my normal self but my fears and worries and low mood seem to have went way down. i actually look forward to waking up now. hope it lasts. starting these was definitely the right thing to do."
