My Experience with 150mg of Zoloft (Sertraline)

I wanted to give you guys an update on what been bumped up to 150 milligrams and i have okay i understand that there is kind of this search um to find out how people are doing on antidepressants and i think that this is an issue that needs to be destigmatized and i for one have greatly greatly benefited from taking

Certain or zoloft and i’ve been working with a therapist for years now and when i had that initial dip over a year ago i was doing all the things that i thought i could possibly do to feel better i was exercising meditating i am over two years now sober so i don’t drink alcohol and that’s another big big thing

Is if you drink alcohol and you take antidepressants i just don’t think that works in the words of ingrid nilsen you really should give yourself your best chance i also am back in school and i’m on the honors program uh when i had that really low like severe depression dip the only that does sound kind of depressing

Um i love that i am back in school i love that i am finding other projects to work on and things that i’m working towards my life has just completely flipped get out of the out of bed in the morning and living and enjoy life and that’s something upcoming video is what depression actually feels like because it’s

Kind of hard to put it in words to someone who does not suffer from depression been bumped up to 150 milligrams i started on 50 then i increased to 100 and then talking with my psychiatrist i mean the choice is ultimately mine uh we discussed it months and months back he’s like he can always go up you know you

Could changes if you want to and he’s like there’s nothing wrong with increasing it like we can do that and i kind of decided at first to make some 20 20. what a hell of a year and when i told my psychiatrist that i think i was feeling even more not being able to go on campus like i was um and he his

Response was basically like you know 90 of the people i talk to are feeling the way you are like isolation in 2020 everything that has been wrapped up in the past year and into this for everyone so he’s like yeah let’s do it like i will write your prescription right now start it now and it has really helped i think i

Told my psychiatrist too i was like i think this is my dosage i think we found it like this this is all right i’ve talked to him since then and since i’ve had the increase and things have been going my own experience and this is just my personal mental health journey i’m sharing on the internet hashtag no

Free will these are the cods i’ve been dealt okay but really i’ve had a lot of questions um directed towards me in messages on instagram or twitter or here on the youtube comment space i get daily messages and comments and questions you please talk to a professional because i cannot guide you like i i can only

Share with you my experience that is it um everyone is different and you might need some other medication if you even need a medication at all if you’re someone who’s watching this video and maybe you’re unsure about taking the medication that you’ve been prescribed i would the only thing i would recommend is just

Try it just try it because so i don’t see the harm in just seeing please talk to a professional a mental health professional because i am not a psychiatrist i am to a psychiatrist talk to your therapist if you have a therapist and just check in with those people because that is your support team and they

Want to see you improve and get better and it is possible it is possible i every time i have a low dip or i go through a depression mood um and basically what my antidepressant does is it just makes it so that i don’t have that extreme dip that i was in so i’m kind of like more on the surface i guess or more balanced i

Should say but i like where i’m at i think i am going to stay at 150 we’ll see how this goes i will probably give you guys another update i think all the major things that i wanted to mention were mentioned in my previous video so this is kind of becoming a series on my channel i wasn’t planning on that but

Here we are so i’ll link the other two videos down below i have the first video where i just of certain and then the second video is 100 i’m feeling pretty good in my own little space world is chaotic and it’s total insanity and space i’m doing really really well and i’m just looking forward to the winter

Semester i’m looking forward on finishing some of these projects that i have started finally and i’m hopeful for the future and that’s something i could not have said over a year ago so i guess i just wanted to let you know if you’re feeling really low this is just temporary like if you’re feeling really horribly

Right now it cannot last forever it just there’s no it’s not possible for it to feelings come and go thoughts come and go you are not your thoughts you are not your feelings things change like they just do um whether you want them to or not so i encourage you if you are a little bit hesitant to take a medication maybe

You’ve already been prescribed you just haven’t gone to the store yet or maybe you just have it sitting in your it because that is a chance you should take your best chance again i’m echoing ingrid to a mental health professional because they than i ever could i do not have the skill set to provide

You guys with answers i can only give you my experience my personal experience and point you guys hopefully in the right direction so i’ll link some resources down below as well but i hope you guys are having a good day and i’ll see you
