UPDATE: Antidepressants Changed My Life | 5 months later

[@lovealways7861]

I've been on this medication for 2 days now due after breaking my 1 month sobriety about 2 days ago. I just want to think straight again with being restricted with all these negative thoughts and worries for basically nothing.

[@Shayting1hunit]

I’ve never felt so understood in my life!!! I’ve been battling depression for years not knowing what it was but today I start on Zoloft hoping for some relief. Thanks Tiffany!!

How did it go?

Damn you are so good person , it can bee seen :)

I was constantly having low blood sugars on Zoloft I had to stop. I did notice it was working well. Did anyone else have this side effect?

[@TiffTok]

I was actually struggling with low blood sugar before but I changed my diet

Thank you so much for making this video. I started my sertraline journey about a week and a half ago and I am very hopeful for what the future will bring. It makes me so happy that others on this medication have had success and feel better, and I hope that will happen for me too. Thanks again! Also you are absolutely gorgeous!

@@chiaravigorelli8520 It was the best decision I’ve made. I feel so much better. The adjustment period on the med was a little rocky, but after a few weeks I started to feel so much better.

I got my prescription the other day after wasting my entire 20’s. It’s stayed in my draw because I was too scared to take it. After watching this video I’m going to take it, I hope this along with therapy will allow me to get out of my own way and live out some of this potential.

Just try it, under supervision from a doctor ofcourse. The side ffects are different per person and can subside over time. Good luck out there

Thank you for sharing your experience! My therapist just asked to put me on Antidepressants. And it was a hard thing to hear. Im upset with myself for not being able to do this without help. But I know that is not the correct mindset to have even if its a valid one! I search YT for Antidepressants and black people and found your channel. Hearing your experience has made me more hopefully in my own life! I think I'm going to go forward with trying the medication!! Keep up the great work Sis we got this!! Subscribed!

[@sweetscorpihoe]

I’m so happy for you! I was on Zoloft for a year and a couple months. I dosed down for a couple months and came off completely in February. I did have really bad withdrawal symptoms and didn’t want to go back on the medication. However, I knew that it was okay to go back on a lower dose and help me out a bit. Sending u a great mental health recovery and journey ❤️

[@TiffTok]

Would y’all like me to do a Q&A? If so follow me on IG instagram.com/tiffanygranted and i’ll take questions from y’all there 💕

[@ninaglencross9812]

Thank you Tiffany. I started sertraline yesterday and I just watched the video where you started taking it and this one and I'm so happy that it worked for you and things in your life feel a lot better and the heavy stuff is more manageable. It gives me hope that in a few months I might feel the same. 😊 Take care xx

Research Post ssri sexual dysfunction( pssd for short). If you enjoy numbed genitals and muted orgasms, continue taking that poison. You’ve been warned.

[@Lizzie5026]

This video is why im going to continue sertraline. My symptoms are a bit much, my first night on 25mg i had nausea, horrible headaches, i couldn’t stay asleep etc. Second night i had nausea, chest pain and headaches. The nausea went away when i ate a bagel. I know its recommended that you eat with it if u do feel nausea. Also dry mouth. Lets hope it gets better ❤️

[@wolfordaam]

How is it going now? What mg are you taking

[@Reclusive_Butterfly]

This is why I'm scared to take it. I have chronic medical conditions, and I really don't want any more complications. I work 10hr shifts with a 2hr commute.

[@kisht7469]

@@cassiedoan Oh... it’s definitely going to change your life. Give it some time. One day you’ll wake up and realize your emotions are blunt, your genitals are numb, you can’t orgasm, you’re sterilize, and your depression is worse than ever before. When all of these side affects kick in and you want to cry but can’t because the medication turned you into an emotionless zombie, please think back to my comment and how I tried to warn you. Research post ssri sexual dysfunction and anhedonia. There are hundreds of thousands of people who are suffering from this condition post ssri therapy. There is non cure and many have taken their lives because of it.

[@Louise173]

.Aleesha, please excuse the bluntness, I specialise in autism research, i myself am an autistic female, and i can spot it on others very easily. Dont count me on this 100%. The way you express yourself is very very much like me... I really have to think before i speak because i cant process words well and struggle to speak fluent sentences without needing to take breaks where i break eye contact, because i cant look at something while thinking because it puts me off. I notice little quirks in your mannerisms and i can see you struggle to look directly at the camera for longer than 5 seconds. .. dont worry, i only notice this because i am very highly tuned to this, others probably wont notice. I hole you do not mind me saying this and like i said dont count me in it 100%. I have watched some of your videos and I think you are a really kind person with a good heart. Stay blessed ❤

[@Louise173]

It always gets missed in women too and misdiagnosed btw x it can very easily just present as depression or anxiety

[@Louise173]

Everything in this video tick boxes... the way you got really irritated by your jacket because it was too hot. Wanting to self harm and explaining that you feel anxious over the smallest things

@@kara8207 you say you've used it on & off over the years, when doing so do you experience bad withdrawals when you stop before taking it again? I just started taking it& I've only been taking half a pill whenever I feel a panic attack coming (they happen maybe 3 or 4 times a week so I don't take it every day, but it seems to be working fine besides a mild bit of insomnia) but I'm scared that at some point when I get better & stop taking them that I may go through really bad symptoms like continued insomnia or maybe even suicidal thoughts...
