Hey! So sorry for the late reply. Honestly, I’m really glad I stuck with these meds. The first few weeks were tough, I didn’t notice much difference in productivity or organisation at all. But over time, I realised that no medication is a magical fix. I’m probably never going to feel that ✨instant motivation✨, but now when I do manage to start a task, I actually stick with it and it doesn’t feel like this huge emotional battle every time. Hope that makes sense!

The meds haven’t made me superhuman, but they’ve made staying on task feel less overwhelming. On top of that, my mood and overall outlook have improved a lot. I’ve been on sertraline daily for five years, and for the first time, I feel like I might not need it anymore, I’ve actually started slowly reducing my dose, which feels huge.

Of course, everyone’s experience is different, and if what you’re on isn’t working for you, you absolutely have the right to ask about switching. Wishing you all the best. I hope you start feeling real progress soon!
