Do you still have extreme emotional ability even on meds?

Question

I have started taking sertraline for PDA depression but also to reduce my emotional ability, I find that I still have really quite extreme emotional swings and emotional intensity but that I just don’t act on it in the way that I used to but I still feel it, for example today I went Sailing and with one of the people at the same club I felt a very intense emotional connection in the past. I probably would’ve made a Pass at her instead we just had a very pleasant conversation and it felt smooth and easy, but I felt disappointed that I didn’t follow up and suggest we hang out after, this is probably a good thing as it’s more comfortable for people around me but it’s just as uncomfortable for me as it was before without the satisfaction that taking action, i’m just wondering if other PA is still have quite extreme emotional ability even on Meds , I tried a higher dose and it did quiet my emotional ability but it also totally ruin my sex Drive so I have settled for sex and milder emotional liability, I was wondering if other PA also struggled with liability even in meds?
