I started taking Zoloft a few months ago and I didn’t notice a flat affect with it. Before that, I took Paxil for about 8 years with no flat affect noticed. Christine

With me it did cause some flattening-but in my case that was good as my emotional turmoil had worn me out….now that I supplement with the Wellbutrin I feel more like me, but still able to function well…. bunnyfire – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->>Did anyone here experience a flattening of emotions with Zoloft and did it > get >>better with continued use so you were able to feel happiness after it?
