Medication and Strange Thoughts

HEY people. I was wondering if anyone else here has had issues with higher dosages of their medication (Zoloft in particular) and a change in the way you think, process emotion etc.


I am taking 200mg Zoloft and since I have been taking that dosage I have noticed a change in the way I process life.


In particular, I feel like I am almost disassociated with emotion. I used to be very in-tune with emotions and how my actions affected others...but its like I am just on auto-pilot and not really giving much thought to things...just sort of going through the motions.


I have also noticed that my libido has not decreased at ALL...but instead has been increased. IDK why, because with 200mg of Zoloft I should be a sex-coma with my libido :)

Hey to you too! I definitely would talk to the doc about how the increased dosage is effecting you emotionally. I know you don't want to turn those emotions off but it would be nice to feel them somewhat.


As for an increase in libido, I have always heard complaints about decrease. Ugh! If you have someone who can keep up with you, why not?
