"another poster said that sertraline made her a better person.  that&#039;s really true for me. i wish i had started taking it years ago.  i don&#039;t get the full benefit with less than 100mg per day. unfortunately, i have to stop taking sertraline as i have a worsening spinal condition and i have to take nsaids (ibuprofen) for pain control.  when i take the two drugs together i bruise so easily that i worry about more serious bleeding.  for me, sertraline has also reduced my libido.  i&#039;m a male in my 60s but i&#039;m not yet ready to give up on sex, nor is my wife."
