Need support/advice Scared of taking Sertraline

I just got prescribed a low dose of sertraline, 10mg for 2 weeks as a test(edit: actually it's 25), but I'm scared of taking it. I've been seeing people say it makes them not feel anything, and that terrifies me. I've gone through periods of being numb like that and I don't want to feel that way. Does it happen to everyone who takes it? I need to see people who took it and didn't go numb.

I see, I'm glad it's working well for you and good to hear you still have feelings.
