I know exactly how you are feeling, Jem! I have been with my boyfriend for 5 months and I love him very much. However, since I started taking Zoloft two months ago, my feelings about everything seem to have disappeared. I just don't care anymore, which some might see as a good thing, but I feel like my heart is empty. Plus, my sex drive has just about disappeared which is making me even more upset. Two weeks ago I started taking 150 mg. of Wellbutrin to counteract the sexual side effects of the Zoloft, and yesterday my doctor increased the dosage to 300 mg. I am hoping this will work, but if I have no results after two weeks, she is weaning me off the Zoloft. I am hoping this is the case because I actually want to feel things again, even the normal negative emotions.
Good luck!
Lisa
