“First weeks on 100mg my mind was basically blank. … my anhedonia is really strong … the numbness is bad. Like I care about my relationship and love my gf but whenever she texts me for example all i can think of is bleh.”

Cause: r/zoloft first-person OP u/Thick_Brilliant2699 (post 1qokq4n): first-time sertraline for depression with pre-existing anhedonia (after a weeks-long virus); ~3 weeks 50 mg then 100 mg. First weeks on 100 mg mind 'basically blank' + strong anhedonia/numbness ('bleh' even toward girlfriend).
Duration: about 6 weeks into treatment at posting (blank mind during first weeks on 100 mg; numbness/anhedonia ongoing)
Recovery notes: No follow-up posts from this account found. Felt somewhat better on 50 mg than 100 mg. Asking whether it will go away.
