Linkadge,
I agree with what you are saying. It's not that I am trying to regain or relive the past, what I am trying to regain is my personality. I recognize that good times come and go, and that is not hard for me to deal with - never really has been. I don't want to close my eyes to new experiences. I just want to have the new experiences with the personality I have had all my life. I don't know if that makes sense.
I am having the exact same reaction to Zoloft as you. I have been waking up in the morning feeling really down and blue with some morbid thoughts. Those feelings are with me on and off throughout the day. And, I, too, feel possessed. That is a good way to describe it. I have so much rage and anger and irritability inside me since I started taking the Zoloft that it is scary because I do not have much of a temper and, although hyper, tend to be laid back and patient with others (although not always with myself). I know it has only been a week, so maybe the possessed feeling, extreme anger, irritability and impatience will pass. What do you think? I could just return to the nortriptyline which was helping, and was pretty good in combination with Wellbutrin, but didn't seem to effectively touch the nameless dread I have been experience.
