depression
"I've been suffering from depression for five years now and I've been on several medications. About six months ago I was prescribed sertraline and my dose was increased from 25mg to 100mg within six weeks as it wasn't making any difference. The side effects were awful and caused me to miss a lot of school and fall behind at a crucial stage in my education. This medication has not increased my mood at all, if anything it has been lowered. Since I've been on it I've felt absolutely drained of energy the whole time. I have lost all motivation as I'm too tired. I feel emotionally numb. "
