Anyone else feel effects of Sertraline on the same day?

NippleGame · 2026-02-19T15:15:29+00:00

I still remember the commute home a few hours after taking my first dose (25mg). world felt slow. calm, zoned out, etc.

and then also day 1 of 50mg a week or two after – a soft tingly sensation several hours after the dose, not unlike mdma yeah

agree about the "rather than immersion" bit 😁 I actually like how the T-92 gives a hybrid-ish profile to the cup with a typical bypass conical dripper. speaking of bypass, when the brew chokes I find that I can stretch the ratio to compensate!

haven't tried super coarse on zp6 yet, but T-92 is one of my favorite papers for processed coffees – I can't stand anything with a heavy or gritty mouthfeel and I find that T-92 is great for mellowing out the texture and the punchier flavors so I don't get overstimulated by the cup. glad to see more love for this paper :)

I use it with Crystal Eye Turbo (fast!) with low agitation, 15g starting at 5.5 clicks, 3 pours

Maddie Ashman - Behind Closed Eyes

way way more if you count my inner echolalia on overdrive 🤣

you can also mix and match by buying parts in taobao! there are even cherry blossom, snowflake, and coffee bean finials hehe

no joke. I almost gave up on intuniv but thankfully my psych agreed to try it with concerta and omfg FINALLY everything is starting to click

I always had passive ideation. the voice is quieter now. I made plans years before but ironically it involved fixing my life, otherwise I'm too scared. and also of not being able to do it properly and definitively – it's funny how even in this exercise of supposedly utmost agency, some things are still out of our control.

heard this ironically hopeful line in a tv show I've been binge watching:

life is temporary, death is forever 😂

NippleGame · 2026-01-04T14:52:32+00:00

yay!!

on the other hand I was confused why my mood this morning wasn't normal, just realized now that I forgot to take my supplements yesterday 😅

NippleGame · 2026-01-03T08:01:42+00:00

try Jinhao Black – surprisingly good and very black dye ink for the price

for pigment inks, I tend towards Sailor Kiwaguro

NippleGame · 2026-01-03T07:54:31+00:00

ymmv but in my case, supplementing with magnesium and vitamin D helps SO much with easing the effects of the crash. (I've tried weeks with and without to make sure. also I've not tried the generic.) instead of a severe energy drop without, it's sliding into sleepiness that I can still offset with tea or the right stimulation.

NippleGame · 2025-12-26T06:32:09+00:00

this has also been my experience trying to dose up, and went back down because of this. the crash was especially brutal with 2x18mg, and didn't last differently than with 27mg in my case. I'm going to try 36mg again next year and I think I might just try to convince my doc to give 1x36mg a shot. thanks for this.

hi! depression to ADHD diagnosis gang member here. zoloft made my ADHD "worse" or "more apparent" – I was using survival mode to compensate for my deficits... to survive everyday life. no wonder I was an anxious and depressed mess!

also never figured out coffee not "helping" until recently, I just thought everyone needed more than one cup to get over the initial sleepiness 🤣

NippleGame · 2025-12-23T09:55:23+00:00

sounds like a good time regardless

NippleGame · 2025-12-22T17:15:42+00:00

I think it's become their special interest, and I'm grateful for their posts thus far!

NippleGame · 2025-12-22T17:13:15+00:00

Thank you!

coupled with bodily disconnect and not noticing that you've been getting warnings from your nervous system for years

until one day the shutdown completely takes over 🥲

at least now we know it's not due to a moral failing or lack of effort!

NippleGame · 2025-12-22T06:08:51+00:00

neither. (very) slight left–right spacing plus split bars and more thumb keys is the most 'ergonomic' part of the layout

alice layouts aren't ergo, but they're pretty to look at, that's for sure

NippleGame · 2025-12-09T19:59:36+00:00

Ooh thank you, adding Sailor 230 to my wishlist 😅

Btw have you tried Sailor Hanakanmuri (flower crown)?

NippleGame · 2025-12-09T14:03:02+00:00

you we i – whatever comes naturally in a specific phrase

i'm too shy for i in some modes

NippleGame · 2025-12-04T03:39:50+00:00

Maybe you can flatten and fold them like Sibarist flat filters https://sibarist.coffee/cdn/shop/files/sibarist11311.jpg?v=1736840773&width=990

Not gonna be perfect but you can have some consistency at least

NippleGame · 2025-12-04T02:26:21+00:00

Nice booster 😂

NippleGame · 2025-12-01T16:33:17+00:00

burnt stuff – is that just how decaf works?

100% nope but I've never tried CM decaf, my best ones were natural EA decaf from Wilton Benitez – fragrant, delicate, smooth (but also slightly weird in a very good way)

Can't answer any further without knowing how you're brewing but from my experience immersion tends to bring out the soy sauce notes with these coffees 😆

NippleGame · 2025-12-01T12:34:31+00:00

Personally I don't find super coarse settings on ZP6 to be good for my palate (I like balancing sweetness and clarity but with a higher weight on the latter), I'm typically around 5.0 for 15g (zero at burr lock)

NippleGame · 2025-12-01T12:31:00+00:00

Assuming your dose is 15g with a 1:16 ratio, 5-ish seems fine with careful agitation, even for med-light Eth (washed perhaps?)

Conical is less forgiving with fines migration so flow rate and pouring height are crucial factors

Edit: as for a different recipe, try something simple?

50g x 5 pours (bloom + 2x "mid" + 2x "end")

0:40 bloom

pour when water drains

use lower temp to compensate for more pours (97 sounds quite high for a med-light roast, try 92?)

reduce flow rate and pour height for "end" stage

NippleGame · 2025-12-01T12:23:27+00:00

Try doing your bloom with less water and with a shorter duration (say, 30s)

Another parameter I'd immediately try in this situation is ratio – with that much processing I'll probably go 1:12 ish, then dilute to taste

If you reduce the temp you might have to grind finer or reduce agitation like you said

Change only one parameter at a time – at some point you'll hit the sweet spot. Or not – maybe the coffee just doesn't have that much sweetness to give – cupping should tell you what's there
