For the past 3 years I've been on antidepressants , all different types , for depression and anxiety. At the beginning of this year I was put on 150mg sertraline as my depression was getting worse but I've come to realise a few things since being on them and the thing's I've realised none of them are good things , all bad. When I was given prozac , not sure of the name we use here in the uk , I think my personality started to change in a negative way. For example , when I started taking antidepressants I started researching conspiracy theories then one day I stumbled upon a guy who goes by the name of David Icke. I've been obsessed ever since. At one point I went around telling people places to avoid , that there beliefs are all there to keep them under control and just stuff like that , rather silly I suppose. Then I started noticing how I was becoming less interested in having sex with my fiancé as I don't feel no desire and I find it extremely hard to keep an erection. Nothing worse being half way there then you go flat. It has completely destroyed my confidence , self esteem and I'm scared of any intimacy as I know where sometimes this can lead. My fiancé and myself haven't had sex in over a year now ! Bad I know. I also am more impulsive than before like if I want something I will go for it without thinking about the consequences , good or bad. I have also become obsessed with religion and spirituality as I somehow think I need to be a better person. I was normal before taking antidepressants. Now all I have is more problems and I'm seriously thinking of going cold turkey I know your not supposed to but so what , I'm already in a bad place. My doctor will just keep me on them as depression is in my family. I don't know what to do.
