Recently joined this site as I seem to have reached a plateau
in my progress. Been on & off zoloft for almost 12 years and
while it has helped in the past along with intensive therapy, I
seem to have reached a flatness. Sure, I'm not getting ready
to jump off a bridge, have no harmful intentions to myself as I
have in the past, rather, I just kind of feel nothing. Just don't
care anymore, about any of it...It's not that I'm totally unhappy,
it's just that I'm not happy about much of anything anymore.
Maybe it's turning 32 and finding myself still alone, displaced,
not really finding a place that I feel like I fit in no a people that
I really seem to connect with. I have come along way from
my psychotic episodes an no longer have the breakdowns
that I did in my earlier years, but it's been replaced with this
empty void that is just that...empty. None of it really matters to
me...my job isn't stimulating, I live paycheck to paycheck in
an apt the size of a shoebox and even the things that used to
bring joy now just seem pointless.
So- is it the meds? Has Zoloft run its course with me? As I
said, it has and does work for me in terms of keeping me from
absolutely losing it, but I'm wondering if I've developed a
certain immunity after such prolonged use...or am I just
experiencing an emotional period in my life? Is it possible for
something to lose some of its effectiveness?
Thanks-
lost
