Hi
My Wife has been vegan for over a year and I have recently decided to join her.
I suffered a brain haemorrhage a couple of years ago, and due to cognitive issues post operation, I am currently on 50mg of Sertraline daily.
Following my change in diet, I am experiencing the same side effects that i did when i first went on sertraline.
I wondered if anyone had any experience with anti-depressants and being vegan.
I am suspecting that my body is having withdrawal symptoms from not having meat or dairy.... but possibly that a better diet is increasing the serotonin production in my brain and possibly it is on the high side now (i.e my diet is having the same effect as the tablets, so its like getting a double dose).
Any insight would be really helpful.
thanks
Phil
