DOSE:
150 mg oral Pharms - Sertraline
BODY WEIGHT: 150 lb
A quick background check of myself: I am an experienced drug user. I've used marijuana, shooms, acid, ecstasy, cocaine (intranasal and IV), meth (IV), heroin (IN and IV), nearly every pain pill, nearly every benzodiazepine, ayahuasca...there's still many more I could list.

I decided one night to take a large dose of my Zoloft prescription because I had read that it sometimes had a 'speedy' effect. I popped the pills and began listening to some electronic music. After about an hour and ten minutes, I found myself smiling at everything. I was dancing, I was laughing; I was just happy, but I wouldn't call it euphoric.
I wouldn't call it euphoric.


Twenty minutes later I began feeling very tired. I laid down on my bed and put on a comedy show I had on my computer. As I was watching the show, I laughed out loud, which is something I don't normally do. I usually just sit there and think it was funny, but tonight was different.

I was getting increasingly tired as the moments wore on, and I turned off my computer and went to sleep.

I'm writing this report the next day. I have a headache. I'm paranoid. I'm dizzy. I feel sick to my stomach. My heart rate is quite rapid.

If anyone's considering doing this, I would not suggest it.
