Is it normal to have mood imbalance when taking sertraline? (Ex. Really happy, but also more sensitive, emotional, etc.)

I was like that for a while, but it kinda balanced out after a while. I was numb before hand cause I used to block out my emotions to make others not concerned about me when I was crying from my anxiety.. IT WAS BAD. The medication weirdly help me open up so i was really emotional and my moods changed a lot for couple of weeks. Now days I feel more human rather then an robot. Anxiety is still there but Its more healthy and lower then before.

I've been taking sertraline and haven't experienced anything like this. Granted, I haven't noticed any changes at all. I feel like I might as well be taking a placebo
i have that emotional instability but it never clicked to me that it could be from the medication…
in my experience, absolutely. I've tried a lot of medications for depression and anxiety from a young age. I'm on sertraline now and I find that I feel pretty neutral most of the time but once in a while I'll have a really bad breakdown and feel really shitty for a short amount of time.

For me it was, I could be happy go lucky one second and the next be madder then he🏒🏒
I felt similarly when I first started Sertraline, but it leveled out over time.
@ArtMouse Do you know how long it took to level out? I’ve been taking it for a month and it still feels out of my control.
@Irae I started taking Sertraline several years ago so my memory isn't super detailed about how long that took. I think it was a few weeks, probably not more than 2 months, though. If you're concerned about it, I'd recommend checking with your doctor.
