Totally awesome! Wow, I love it.
I've tried every single SSRI. I have to admit, if I had to choose just one as my favorite for the rest of my life, it would be Zoloft. It wasn't a super healing med with me like it seems to be with you, but it was definitely the best of the whole bunch for me.
It's not often talked about much, but these 'selective' serotonin reuptake inhibitors aren't nearly as selective as the name implies. Zoloft for example actually has considerable dopamine reuptake inhibition as well. One study I read indicated it affected dopamine even more than Wellbutrin.
Is that why it works so well the way it does with you, while its cousins didn't? Who knows. Who cares. It's wonderful to feel normal, yeah?!
