Yeah, bet you don't get many "trip reports" for sertraline (Zoloft.)
Right now I'm drunk and bored. Well, tipsy. Fact.
And yes, I know I've made a lot of SSRI threads. Fuck you
I decided to give sertraline a go... but on my own terms. I'm determined to prove that they *can* be used for a recreational effect, since they're handed out like cheap candy.
Tonight is my third night using them. I've taken 200mg of sertraline hydrochloride the past 3 nights, including this one - mixed with about 12 shots of vodka and 0.5mg of alprazolam. I had a decent alcohol tolerance, little to no benzo tolerance, and have never taken an SSRI before.
Anxiety? Not expecting it to lift by now, but it seems lessened anyway over the past day or two. Maybe it's a placebo effects, maybe I just had good days. I don't know. Inconclusive.
About 9 hours after taking the sertraline the first time, I was quite nauseated. Didn't puke though, but still felt throbbing pangs of nausea in my throat totally unrelated to the alcohol.
Today, (after my second dose the night before) I woke up with tremors. Specifically, shaking hands. Not terrible, but enough to be noticed and to impair me in doing brain surgery, should I have the urge to take up that hobby.
I felt jittery, was more paranoid than normal, but less anxious and more social. Again, I don't know how much of the lessened anxiety is from the drug, it could be placebo effect or maybe just the result of a night of heavy drinking and a tiny benzo dose.
Right now, after a third dose of 200mg sertaline and 7 shots, I feel more drunk/slowed down than normal. I also noticed that I never had the same early euphoric effects from the alcohol.
