Cas Vegas Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Given that we have an ongoing thread about a good lad realising he's had a tough run, & opened up about his drinking concerns, I thought I'd stick my oar in. (This is t'horrible bit) I saw a loved & cherished sibling die with a pool of blood as big as your garden. I then had to identify the body as no-one else in family could do it. I was diagnosed with PTSD. Apparently it can actually be seen when you have an MRI Scan (as happened with me). Took no pills, took no counselling (clever, aren't I?) Then took some pills which made me dozy. (This is the bit where you laugh) Then given some other pills which turned me into Wolverine or The Hulk; Hearing sense (I can hear the bloke over the road in the loo), Smell (people's breakfast wake me up), my nails & facial hair are now trimmed every day & I've gone up a shoe-size. My temper went utterly crazy, the fella downstairs got even bigger & my libido went through the roof (to the point of my missus was going "what the hell is wrong with you!?!?!") It's called sertraline. And I have been diagnosed with "hypersexuality" (seriously) as a result - and as a result of that, I have decided to stop taking anything ever again. You can have the pills if you want them (although it doesn't affect everyone the same way, apparently). Anyway, off out now to fight crime & then find some hookers.* *The last sentence isn't true.

Mark S Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 If it wasn’t for Sertraline I probably wouldn’t be here. I had plans to go down to the train track and end it all. My now wife, then girlfriend, dragged me to the doctors and got me on anti-depressants. Since having a baby I haven’t had time to feel anything except pure exhaustion.

Copa Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Best of luck. I’ve had a few bad run ins with death on top of bad experiences with Indonesian military, police and intelligence agencies that caused stress. I was eventually diagnosed with PTSD and at one point couldn’t work for a few years. I got onto a program by a post grad student who treated it as part of her research. It got me back studying and working. I never used medication. Until I read your post I didn’t even know medication was an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
