I am freaking out, because I have had a mind that I did not recognize for a whole year. I was taking Zoloft, and had all this trouble concentrating, memory problems, unhappy, headache, low energy.
Now, after tapering off, and "barely" starting on Serzone again (at 75 mgs), I feel like my old self again. I'm happy, joking, don't feel as out of it. My brain feels faster, more accessible, but also controlled -- not manic.
Is this just a placebo effect? The positive benefit of not being on zoloft? (of which withdrawal made me feel like my brain was being dragged around by a shoe string somewhere).
I'm freaking out because I don't want to be on meds for life, and here I feel my best on this one particular med (which also has the black box liver warning.). Is it that it altered my brain permanently, so that now I _need_ it?
What gives?
