I found that dosage of Sertraline made a notable difference for me. Too high a dose would get me in a hypomanic state. That may be where you were at when feeling superhuman. But mania can't last forever and is inevitably followed by a low.

Stopping cold turkey was bad news for me, too. I got the "zaps" any time I turned my head. So, I decided to taper down, which worked fine.

I had exactly the same side effect when turning my head, and 150 mg would also make me agitated. Also, my vision worsened a bit. But without sertraline, depression wouldn't have gone away, so the drawbacks were worth it.
