I see things in a completely different way. I used to get these major crushes all the time and they
were mostly unrequited (and even if they had been, I was to busy staring at my shoes). I started
taking Zoloft two years ago and noticed that my libido had completely vanished. I would never even
notice attractive men as I had before, and even when I did I didn't feel the "enthusiasm" I once
felt. I did not go on one single date for the whole time I was on it. But I also noticed I was no longer
driven to do anything in other aspects of my life as well. I became pretty much indifferent to everything
which does have its advatages: you can make rationnal judgements, but I love being obsessive, I love feeling
possesed by an idea (or the idea of a person). I felt I was no longer myself so I stopped. Maybe this is just
me but I feel these drugs take away as much as they give. Now I only take Rivotril (Klonopin) and Wellbutrin and I feel like I am back. I don't like this state of mind ADs put you in. It's like renouncing joy so that you can renounce pain. Sometimes the pain warrants this but sometimes it doesn't.
