When to go back to the doctor
Ill just preface this by saying I'm in the UK, in case it makes a difference.
I started 50mg of sertraline two months ago. It's not the first time I've been on it, but I don't remember it being this awful. I'm on it for depression, emotional numbness/anhedonia and suicidal thoughts. The first few weeks things slightly picked up for me, but then I crashed again. I'm utterly miserable, endlessly fatigued, destroying my marriage and not able to find joy in anything. Four weeks in, the diarrhea started and is still a daily problem. The loss of sensation in my clitoris started immediately and makes sex a whole lot less fulfilling. Ultimately, sertraline is making my life much more miserable. How long should I give it before going back to the doctor. Should I ask for a higher dose or something else? At the point I'm feeling like I'm so broken, nothing is going to fix me and I don't know if I should bother at all and just resign myself to being numb and sad for the rest of my life.
