I've been taking half of a Sertraline 25mg pill, but some of it kind of melted on the tip of my tongue. Now there's this tingling and numbness going on. Is this just going to go away on its own, or could it do any permanent damage?

Why do I get pleasure from pain?

Endorphins that are released in painful experiences are often perceived as pleasurable. Stress and pain can also stimulate the serotonin and melatonin production in the brain, which transforms painful experiences into pleasure. The release of epinephrine and norepinephrine in pain can also cause a pleasurable 'rush'.

I've been having some anxiety and OCD issues, so I went to a psychiatrist and got prescribed Depran H. After taking the first tablet, a few hours later, my vision got kind of blurry, like when you're a bit drunk, and I noticed some mild shivering too. Is this something normal with this medication?
